James Taylor will open his summer tour with a date in Phoenix.

The multiple-Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will perform downtown on Monday, May 5 at Footprint Center to kick off a tour that will go through July.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 13 at ticketmaster.com.

Supporting Taylor on his 24-city tour will be Tiny Habits, a Boston-bred band. Last year, the group opened for Gracie Abrams on her North American and Australian tour dates, and also opened for Noah Kahan on his European tour.

Over the course of his celebrated career, Taylor has sold more than 100 million albums, earning gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards since the release of his self-titled debut album in 1968. In 2015, Taylor released “Before This World,” the first-ever No. 1 album of his illustrious career. Taylor also was inducted into the Songwriters Halls of Fame and in February 2006, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences selected him its MUSICARES Person of the Year.

Taylor was also awarded the distinguished Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government and the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama in 2012.

In November of 2015, Taylor was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, and in December of 2016 he received the Kennedy Center Honors, which are presented annually to individuals who have enriched American culture by distinguished achievement in the performing arts.

In early 2020 Taylor released “Break Shot,” an audio-only memoir detailing his first 21 years. He also released his newest album, “American Standard,” his 19th studio album, which earned Taylor the 2021 Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and gave him the honor of being the first artist to have a Billboard Top 10 album in each of the past six decades.
