Join us for an afternoon of incredible music with three amazing artists. Livingston Taylor, Tom Chapin, and EVA will appear together in a very special concert featuring some of the best in folk music. Livingston Taylor has had a 40-year career spanning performance, songwriting and teaching. Born in Boston and raised in North Carolina, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical family, perhaps most notable is his brother James Taylor. From his first record at the age of 18, he has continued to create well-crafted, introspective and original songs, earning him listeners worldwide. Livingston is also a full professor at Berkeley College of Music, where he has taught since 1989. Livingston’s latest album, Blue Sky, was released in the spring of 2014. In a career that spans five decades, 23 albums and three GRAMMY awards, multi-talented singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Chapin has covered an incredible amount of creative ground. In addition to his work as a recording artist and concert performer, Chapin has acted on Broadway, as well as extensively in films, television and radio. As a music-maker, Chapin has maintained two long and productive parallel careers, both as a highly respected contemporary folk artist and as a pioneer in the field of children’s music. He began performing professionally as a teenager in the early 1960s, playing in Greenwich Village folk clubs alongside his siblings Harry and Steve as The Chapin Brothers. EVA is Liz Simmons, Nicole Zuraitis (USA), Kath Buckell (AUS), with Hadar Noiberg (ISR) and Craig Akin (USA). EVA blends stunning renditions of traditional and contemporary original folk music and elements of improvisation from each of their cultures. Through stunning three part harmonies built on the lush melodic combination of flute and double bass, EVA draws the audience into an experience that transcends three continents’ histories and geographical separations.
