Sweet Baby James IS Back Again

Back at Cheney Hall as a solo performer, Sam Hyman, Steamroller, has toured the United States since 2019, bringing Taylor's most beloved catalog to audiences who know every word and feel every note. Sam's musical pedigree runs deep: a BMI writer and publisher with a degree from Mercyhurst University's D'Angelo School of Music, he has composed for global music libraries, scored international television productions, and placed original work with Warner Bros. Music Group. When he steps onstage to perform as James Taylor, he brings that same depth of craft and care.

But this isn't just a greatest-hits rundown. Between songs, Sam shares the stories behind the music, the moments of heartbreak, hope, and wandering that gave these classics their meaning. Audiences sing along, lean in, and leave feeling something real.

Some artists don't just write songs. They write the soundtrack to your life.
