An Evening with Livingston Taylor at Johnson Hall Opera House in downtown Gardiner, Maine – Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 7:30 pm.

Step into an unforgettable night with acclaimed singer-songwriter Livingston Taylor—a master storyteller whose remarkable career spans more than five decades of music, performance, and teaching.

With over 100 shows a year, Livingston brings a rare blend of humor, heart, and musical brilliance to the stage. His concerts feel less like performances and more like shared experiences—rich with personal stories, timeless songs, and an effortless connection with the audience. Drawing from a catalog of more than 25 albums, along with beloved classics, every show is dynamic, intimate, and deeply engaging.

A gifted songwriter, Livingston has penned Top-40 hits recorded by his brother, James Taylor, and has shared the stage with legendary artists such as Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, and Jimmy Buffett.

Seamlessly blending folk, pop, jazz, gospel, and classical influences, Livingston’s performances move from laugh-out-loud storytelling to tender ballads and soaring musical moments—all delivered with warmth and authenticity.

Beyond the stage, Livingston spent over 30 years as a professor at Berklee College of Music, where he created the renowned “Stage Performance” course. His students have gone on to become stars in their own right, including Charlie Puth, John Mayer, Susan Tedeschi, Molly Tuttle, Liz Longley, and Gavin DeGraw. Today, he continues to inspire audiences and students alike, bringing his teaching to stages and institutions across the country.

An airplane-flying, motorcycle-riding, song-sharing original, Livingston Taylor delivers more than a concert—he delivers a night you won’t forget.
