Julian Taylor | Live in Concert

Some artists have a hit. Others build a career. Julian Taylor has done both - and then reinvented himself into one of Canada's most celebrated and compelling singer-songwriters.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Toronto-based artist Julian Taylor as he brings his award-winning blend of soul, folk, roots, and storytelling to an intimate stage where every lyric, every note, and every moment can be truly experienced.

Julian first rose to prominence with the hit-making band Staggered Crossing. Rather than resting on early success, he returned to the clubs, cover bands, and open stages, refining his craft song by song. That journey led to his acclaimed solo career and the release of The Ridge (2020), a deeply personal acoustic album that earned two JUNO Award nominations, a Canadian Folk Music Award for Solo Artist, five Native American Music Award nominations, and a Polaris Music Prize nomination.

His 2022 follow-up album, Beyond the Reservoir, continued that remarkable momentum with nominations from the Country Music Association of Ontario, the JUNO Awards, and the Ontario Folk Music Awards, further cementing his place as one of Canada's most respected musical voices.

Critics and audiences alike have praised Julian's warm baritone, heartfelt songwriting, and authentic performances that leave a lasting impression:

"Julian Taylor's music is a beacon of hope in troubled times. His lyrics are thoughtful and inspiring, and his voice is both powerful and tender." — Canadian Beats

This isn't simply another concert - it's an afternoon of remarkable songs, captivating stories, and the rare opportunity to experience one of Canada's premier songwriters in an intimate listening-room setting.
