Cunard has announced legendary singer/songwriter James Taylor will help commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Queen Mary 2 next year. Taylor will perform two concerts during the August 27 Transatlantic Crossing from New York to Southampton, England, via Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Over the course of his career, Taylor has sold over 100 million albums, earning gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards for classics ranging from Sweet Baby James in 1970 to October Road in 2002.

From the release: “I’ve always wanted to take an ocean liner back to Europe, and in June 2009 we got the chance to do that. It’s such a civilized way to go, and Queen Mary 2 is the last word in first-class travel,” Taylor said.
