This week Grammy award winner James Taylor arrives in town plus Beth Orton, Jackson Browne and The Faint.

Jackson Browne, The Dome Concert Hall, New Road, Brighton, today. This sensitive Californian singer/songwriter was well-known in the early Seventies when he ranked alongside the likes of Joni Mitchell. His career since has been chequered but he's still sold 15 million albums. The early Nineties included his very public and painful split from girlfriend Daryl Hannah. 8pm. Tickets £33.50 to £36. 01273 709709.

Beth Orton, The Dome Concert Hall, New Road, Brighton, tomorrow. This Norfolk lass with charm is fast becoming our first lady of folk. She has worked with collaborators ranging from Emmylou Harris to William Orbit. It is those acoustic numbers which tug at the heart-strings and allow her vocals the space they need to hit home. Starts 8pm. Tickets £17 to £12. Call 01273 709709.

James Taylor, Brighton Centre, King's Road, Monday. From his Beatles-sponsored debut in 1968 to his Grammy-winning Hourglass album of 1997, James Taylor has been acclaimed as a songwriter of exceptional eloquence.

Famous for progressive Seventies folk rock, let his songs warm your heart. Starts 8pm. Tickets cost £32.50. Call 0870 900 9100 for further details.

The Faint, Pavilion Theatre, New Road, Brighton, Sunday. Ideal for teenage sex or serious discussion, these Omaha sons growl with anger.

Merging rock, dance and electronic music with a touch of melody, this is mean Eighties dance party business.

8pm. Tickets cost £7.50. Call 01273 709709 for further details.
