Livingston Taylor headlines Music on the Marsh on Nov. 12, with ticket proceeds supporting The Nature Place’s environmental education. Organizers mark the benefit sold out, so anyone still hoping to attend will need to ask about the waitlist.
The Nature Place describes Taylor’s repertoire across 22 albums and more than five decades of work, spanning folk, pop, gospel and jazz. The organizer’s profile characterizes his concerts as a mix of music and storytelling, but does not name songs for this La Crosse performance.
Taylor has written Top 40 hits recorded by his brother, James Taylor, and has shared stages with Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac and Jimmy Buffett. His career also includes 30 years teaching at Berklee College of Music; the organizer says he performs more than 100 concerts a year.

The organizer says ticket proceeds directly support The Nature Place’s environmental education programs, which aim to connect people of all ages with nature and encourage stewardship. That purpose is the concert’s defining link to its host: the benefit helps fund the organization’s educational work.
The Nature Place also acknowledges that it occupies land taken from Ho-Chunk, Dakota and Menominee peoples, and honors those who have cared for the land across generations. This is part of the venue’s broader context, not a listed segment of the concert program.

The evening has separate arrival times for VIP and reserved or general admission before the advertised 7 p.m. show. The 9:15 p.m. closing time is the overall event listing, not a confirmed runtime for Taylor’s performance.
The event listing gives an overall window of 5–9:15 p.m. The organizer schedules VIP entry at 5 p.m., reserved and general admission at 6 p.m., and the show at 7 p.m. The listing does not identify 9:15 p.m. as the end of the performance.
