Pop legend Livingston Taylor returns to Sanibel 8 p.m. Saturday, November 26, for a special Thanksgiving weekend performance at BIG ARTS Schein performance Hall, 900 Dunlop Road.
He has enjoyed a lustrous career in music as a singer-songwriter since the release of his self-titled debut in 1970 and critically acclaimed second release, Liv. A virtuoso on guitar and piano, Taylor is the musician behind the top 40 hits I Will Be In Love with You and I’ll Come Running. Other notable releases over the years include Three Way Mirror, Man’s Best Friend, Life is Good, Good Friends and Bicycle. Taylor has also enjoyed the
honor of collaborating with folk legends Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill,
and his brother, James, for whom Taylor wrote lyrics for the double Grammy winning 1997 album, Hourglass.
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. Taylor keeps a busy schedule touring internationally and instructing the next generation of musicians as a full-time professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Tickets to Liv Taylor are $42 loge, $37 floor, and $15 child.
The Livingston Taylor concert is sponsored by West Gulf Company LLC. For tickets, stop by BIG ARTS, 900 Dunlop Road, Sanibel, call 395-0900, or go to http://www.bigarts.org/.
