Singers and songwriters, Livingston Taylor and Karla Bonoff at The Ridgefield Playhouse April 28

Livingston Taylor is part of musical royalty – with James Taylor as his brother and Ben Taylor as his nephew, Livingston lives up to the Taylor name and more. From Top-40 Hits: “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running,” to “I Can Dream of You” and “Boatman,” his creative output seems endless. 

Karla Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation. Karla has seen her songs become hits for artists such as Bonnie Raitt (“Home”) Wynonna Judd (“Tell Me Why”) and Linda Ronstadt, who has recorded a number of her songs including “Someone To Lay Down Beside Me,” “Lose Again” and “If He’s Ever Near.”
