Livingston Taylor

Enjoy the much anticipated return of folk’s legendary Livingston Taylor, performing such hits as “Carolina Day,” “Get out of Bed,” “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running.” From upbeat storytelling to touching ballads inspired by a varied repertoire of folk, pop, gospel and jazz, Taylor is known for his ability to take audiences on a musical journey. ABOUT Livingston Taylor’s musical journey began at 13 when he picked up his first guitar, sparking a career spanning over five decades. By 19, Livingston had recorded his first album, and he has since been crafting original songs and interpreting classics, earning a dedicated global fanbase. His hits like “Carolina Day” and “I Will Be in Love with You” have showcased his versatility across genres such as folk, pop, gospel, and jazz. Throughout his career, Livingston has performed with major artists such as Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac, and his concerts are known for their warmth and personal storytelling. His extensive touring, both solo and with symphony orchestras, highlights his dynamic stage presence and deep musical knowledge. Beyond performing, Livingston has significantly contributed to music education, teaching for over 30 years at Berklee College of Music and developing a renowned course on Stage Performance. His students include notable names like Charlie Puth and John Mayer. Livingston’s influence extends beyond the stage and classroom. He authored “Stage Performance,” a comprehensive guide on enhancing performance skills, drawing from over 5,000 hours of stage experience. His achievements were celebrated in 2017 when Boston and Massachusetts declared January 18 as “Livingston Taylor Day.” The 2018 documentary “Livingston Taylor: Life is Good” further chronicled his life and career, receiving international accolades. In recent years, Livingston released “LIVe – 50 Years of Livingston Taylor Live,” a box set commemorating his extensive career, and collaborated with American Public Television for “Livingston Taylor Live from Sellersville Theater: Songs and Stories.” Adapting to new teaching methods, he launched “The Livingston Taylor Playbook” with True Fire, an online masterclass in 2022. As of 2023, Livingston recorded with the BBC Concert Orchestra, planning to bring this collaboration to live audiences with performances featuring arrangements by Tony Award-winning composer Bill Elliott.
