It’s impossible to document the first time Livingston Taylor performed on the Eastern Shore. Most think it was at the Church Hill Theater in the mid-1970s, others think it was in the early 1980s. It doesn’t really matter — he’s done it a lot after forty-five years on the road.
And he came back last Friday night once again to perform at the Avalon where the Spy caught up with him after he had completed his sound check for the evening’s performance.
In his interview, Livingston talks about his life growing up as a Yankee in North Carolina in the 1960s, his passion for music, and a few words about young artists like Taylor Swift and the exceptionalism and luck it takes to be at the top of the food chain in music these days. He ends with his impressions on the Eastern Shore and Maryland’s similarity to his own state of Massachusetts.
