4x JUNO nominated singer-songwriter Julian Taylor and his band are sharing a brand new live LP recorded at Toronto’s historic Massey Hall in the TD Music Hall, with all tracks mastered in Dolby Atmos.

This is the first ever album to be recorded and released from TD Music Hall, which opened in February 2022. 

Live at TD Music Hall was released on December 6, 2024, exactly one year to the day it was recorded in 2023!

Any time you get a chance to record a live show, you gotta take it, so when Massey Hall offered to record it via their new Deane Cameron state-of-the-art studio equipped with the best gear that the world has to offer, it was a no brainer, explains Taylor.  

Doug McKendrick recorded, mixed it and mastered it in Dolby Atmos. It’s the first album to receive that treatment and I am excited for the world to hear it.

This career spanning set sees the Julian Taylor Band playing with a newfound sense of camaraderie stronger than that on any record in Taylor’s back catalogue. 

The album’s focus track is a lively rendition of the warm and nostalgic yet a touch unsettling production which characterizes “The Ridge,” the Americana title track from Taylor’s breakout 2020 record which chronicles his childhood summers spent with his sister, aunt, and grandparents at the latter’s farm in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

When I think of my happy place, it takes me there back to the driveway that was enveloped by huge trees and greenery right up to the red front door of their house, and I can see it all. I can visualize my childhood. My grandparents and my aunt have since passed away, but they all live in my heart and through the stories we shared and memories we created. – Julian Taylor
