BRATTLEBORO-Latchis Arts presents "An Evening with Livingston Taylor" on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7:30 p.m.
Taylor's career as a professional musician has spanned five decades, encompassing performance, songwriting, and teaching. Described as "equal parts Mark Twain, college professor, and musical icon," Livingston maintains a busy performance schedule, performing his repertoire of 22 albums and popular classics.
"Liv is an airplane-flying, motorcycle-riding, singing storyteller, delighting audiences with his charm for over 50 years," organizers wrote in a news release. Taylor last performed at the Latchis in 2022, and played a set that included music from many genres - folk, pop, gospel, jazz and, taking inspiration from the Latchis' historic movie vibe, several classics from The Wizard of Oz. "His gift for sharing songs and stories creates a warm connection between Taylor and his audiences," organizers wrote.
Taylor has written top-40 hits recorded by his brother James and has appeared with Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, and Jimmy Buffet. In addition to playing, he has taught stage performance for over 30 years, beginning at Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1989, passing on to the next generation of musicians his knowledge gained from a career on the road.
Tickets range from $36 to $55 and are available at latchis.com.
