Sat July 18 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Del Crary Park
Julian Taylor does not fit neatly into one box, which is usually where the interesting stuff starts. The Toronto singer-songwriter brings his rich mix of roots, soul, folk and rock to Peterborough Musicfest on Saturday, July 18, carrying the sound of an artist who has lived a few musical lives and picked up the best parts along the way.
Taylor’s music feels road-tested without sounding worn out — warm vocals, sharp storytelling, and songs that move easily between front-porch intimacy and full-band lift-off. There is heart in it, but not the syrupy kind. More like the real thing: complicated, weathered, and still standing.
Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of Canada’s most compelling live performers, the kind of artist who can pull a crowd in without beating them over the head. The songs do the work. The voice does the rest.
On July 18, Peterborough gets the full Julian Taylor treatment: soul, grit, melody, and a little bit of that late-summer magic that makes a night at Del Crary Park feel bigger than the calendar says it should.
