BIO
Tucker Livingston is an award-winning Austin-based singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music fuses raw poetry, rich melodies, and global influence. A featured performer at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, SXSW, Kerrville Folk Festival, and Voice of America, Livingston emerged as a standout voice in Americana and folk.
In 2003, he was awarded the Austin Music Foundation’s Incubator Grant, supporting the creation of his critically acclaimed debut album. Produced by Mitch Watkins and engineered by Jim Vollentine at Viewpoint Studio, the album climbed to #6 on the iTunes Folk Chart and received widespread radio and television exposure. Its success led to an interdisciplinary collaboration with Ballet Austin: choreographer Gina Patterson created “No Defense,” set entirely to Tucker’s music, which premiered at the Paramount Theatre to four sold-out performances.
Livingston's songs have also reached the screen, featured in the film Maturing Youth, directed by award-winner Michael Polanski. Beyond the studio, he has worked with Texas music educator Neal Kasinov and performed with the Groundwork Music Orchestra, a non-profit ensemble described as “the Wilco of children’s music groups.”
Tucker spent over a decade touring internationally with his father, Texas music legend Bob Livingston, as U.S. cultural ambassadors supported by State Department grants. Together, they brought American roots music to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. He is also a core member of the Texas Commission on the Arts’ celebrated educational group Cowboys & Indians, blending Native American, East Indian, and Western musical traditions.
In 2006, Livingston paused his career to immerse himself in South Indian Carnatic music, living and studying in India for 15 years. Now based in San Marcos, Texas with his wife and son, he is returning to the stage and studio, crafting a new body of work and continuing to share his music across Texas and the world.
