Martin Media Presents: Russ Taff & Steve Taylor
Wed Mar 18, 2026 Door time: 6:30pm , Show time: 7:30pm - All Ages
Multiple Grammy and Dove Award-winners Russ Taff and Steve Taylor will appear in one
electrifying night together on the The Almost Farewell Tour. Taff will be both supported and
backed on all dates by his longtime friend and collaborator and his Some Band.
“Maya Angelou said ‘This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before,’” says Russ Taff.
“That’s the way I feel about this tour – it’s going to be so unique and different than any I’ve
done. Steve and I did a concert together several months ago and we blew the roof off the
place. Steve was stunningly good, it’s been years since I’ve had that much fun on stage! I’m so
grateful I get to tour with Steve, I’ve been a fan for a long time. In fact, I remember Mom
playing Steve Taylor records when I was like two-years-old. Ha ha ha, kidding Steve, ha ha
ha!”
“I’m mostly doing this tour as an excuse to hear Russ Taff sing every night,” says Steve Taylor.
“But I’m also looking forward to re-assembling Some Band and playing songs I haven’t
performed in a few decades.”
The Almost Farewell Tour follows the recent release of Taff’s acclaimed new album, Cover
Story.
Executive produced by Taylor (Sixpence None the Richer, Newsboys), produced by John Mark
Painter (Fleming & John, Ben Folds, Sevendust), and mixed by Matt Wallace (Faith No More,
The Replacements), Cover Story marks perhaps the most singularly special album in Taff’s
extraordinary four-decade career, chronicling his remarkable life’s journey with impassioned
performances of timeless songs by such masters as Bob Dylan, U2, Prince, Simon & Garfunkel,
and more. Highlights include renditions of Depeche Mode’s “People Are People,” Blind Willie
Johnson’s “Tear This Building Down,” and an intensely powerful take on The National’s
“Demons.”
