Livingston Taylor

Described as “equal parts Mark Twain, college professor, and musical icon,” Livingston Taylor delights audiences with his charm and vast repertoire of his 22 albums and popular classics.

An Avalon favorite, Livingston has appeared with Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, and Jimmy Buffet. He’s 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 a favorite from a Broadway musical.

From top 40 hits “Carolina Day,” “Get out of Bed,” “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 for over 50 years. His musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres—folk, pop, gospel, jazz.
