Drusky Entertainment Presents

Livingston Taylor

This is an All Ages Event

Tickets are onsale Friday, November 12th at 10am!

Livingston Taylor picked up his first guitar at the age of 13, which began a 50-year career that

has encompassed performance, songwriting, and teaching. Born in Boston and raised in North

Carolina, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical family that includes Alex, James, Kate,

and Hugh. Livingston recorded his first record at the age of 18 and has continued to create well

crafted, introspective, and original songs that have earned him listeners worldwide.

From top-40 hits “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running,” to “I Can Dream of

You” and “Boatman,” the last two recorded by his brother James, Livingston’s creative output

has continued unabated. His musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire, and he is

equally at home with a range of musical genres—folk, pop, gospel, jazz—and from upbeat

storytelling and touching ballads to full orchestra performances.

Livingston has never stopped performing since those early coffeehouse days, shared the stage

with major artists such as Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Buffett, and

Jethro Tull, and he maintains a busy concert schedule, touring internationally. He is a natural

performer, peppering his shows with personal stories, anecdotes and ineffable warmth that

connect him to his fans. His relaxed on-stage presence belies the depth of his musical

knowledge, and fans might just as often be treated to a classic Gershwin or something from the

best of Broadway.

Livingston is a full professor at Berklee College of Music, where he has taught a Stage

Performance course since 1989. He teaches young artists invaluable lessons learned over the

course of an extensive career on the road; the course is consistently voted the most popular at the

College. His high-selling book, Stage Performance, released in 2011 offers those lessons to

anyone who is interested in elevating their presentation standards to professional standards.

Livingston's 50th year of making music was celebrated by Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, both declaring January 18, 2017 "Livingston Taylor

Day"
