Matching the gorgeous venue URSB Carteret Performing Arts & Events on Aug. 5 will be the repertoire of Taylor Simon King, a celebration of American troubadours James Taylor, Carly Simon and Carole King.

Produced by Oscar-winning songwriter Franke Previte (“Dirty Dancing”) and his talented wife, Lisa Sherman, one of the all-star band’s front folk, the 10-piece ensemble’s take on Simon’s “You’re So Vain” is the Makin Waves Song of the Week.
