The Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame Inaugural Induction Ceremony
Greetings from the Livingston Taylor headquarters with some great news!

The Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame had their first Annual Induction Ceremony recently with the first group to enter the Hall of Fame. The ceremony was a magical night here in Boston in which Livingston played a big role as an "Industry Advisor", as well as a performer and an interviewee. There were amazing artists who were celebrated ranging from Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, James Taylor, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
