It took 90 minutes for tickets to James Taylor’s benefit concert tonight in Great Barrington, MA, to sell out—netting $150,000 to be donated to Partners In Health's earthquake relief and rebuilding efforts. And after Taylor and his wife, Kim, matched that amount, a total of $300,000 has already been raised. Taylor, after hearing that his concert sold out that quickly, generously volunteered his time for a second show on January 23, at 8 pm; that show has also sold out.

Tonight's concert will be aired live on the Boston-area station WBUR 90.9 FM, starting at 8 pm. Listen to to the concert live over the internet.

"Our hearts go out to everyone in Haiti," said Taylor on his website. "We need to do everything we can to help the country recover after this tragic earthquake. I'm grateful to do my part and hope my neighbors here in the Berkshires will join me and be as generous as possible."

A big thank you to James Taylor and all his neighbors in Berkshires from PIH. We’re grateful for your support.
