Equal parts Mark Twain, college professor, and musical icon,
LIVINGSTON DELIGHTS AUDIENCES WITH HIS CHARM AND VAST REPERTOIRE As
the fourth child in a famously musical family (James, Kate, Alex and
Hugh Livingston) Livingston Taylor got an early start on a career that
has now spanned 50 years. His well-crafted, introspective and original
songs include top-forty hits "I Will Be in Love with You" and "I'll
Come Running," as well as "I Can Dream of You" and "Boatman" both
recorded by his brother James. His ever-expanding repertoire includes
folk, pop, gospel, and jazz along with tender ballads.
He is a natural performer, peppering his shows with personal stories,
anecdotes and ineffable warmth that connects 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.
As a full professor at Berklee College of Music since 1989, Livingston
has mentored the next generation of musicians, helping to grow the
careers of artists such as Gavin DeGraw, Susan Tedeschi, John Mayer
and Seth Glier.
