Livingston Taylor at Firehouse Center for the Arts

A Firehouse favorite, Liv’s relaxed, good-humored nature combined with sweet, happy love songs, humorous ballads and guitar playing, have filled the Firehouse for more than fifteen years!

Taylor is not only a consummate musician and musical storyteller, but he is a humorist in the tradition of Will Rogers, taking the events of the day, or life’s many milestones, and intertwining them with funny interludes of social commentary between musical numbers.

Livingston Taylor picked up his first guitar at the age of thirteen, beginning a forty-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 18 and has continued to create well-crafted, introspective and original songs that have earned him listeners worldwide.

From top-forty hits “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running,” to “I Can Dream of You” and “Boatman” both 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 to touching ballads.
