About Russ Taff and Steve Taylor: The (Almost) Farewell Tour
Russ Taff is one of the most decorated vocalists in the history of Christian music — a five-time Grammy Award winner whose voice has been described, without exaggeration, as one of the most powerful instruments in American gospel and contemporary Christian music. From his early years with the Imperials to a solo career that produced classics like We Will Stand and I Still Believe, Taff defined what it meant to sing with both technical mastery and raw spiritual conviction. His story is inseparable from the story of Christian music itself.
Steve Taylor occupies an equally singular place in that history, though he arrived from a different direction entirely. A provocateur, satirist, and genuine rock artist, Taylor's work in the 1980s and early 1990s — albums like Meltdown and I Predict 1990 — challenged Christian audiences in ways that were genuinely disruptive. His wit was sharp, his production was sophisticated, and his willingness to push boundaries made him a cult figure who never quite fit any easy category. Taylor later turned to film, producing the faith-based hit Blue Like Jazz, before returning to music with his band Chagall Guevara and subsequent solo work.
Together, Taff and Taylor represent two distinct but complementary strains of Christian creative excellence — one rooted in soulful, gospel-drenched sincerity, the other in intelligent, genre-defying artistry. The (Almost) Farewell Tour brings those two worlds together for a night that functions as both celebration and send-off. The name itself signals the tone: self-aware, a little playful, and honest about the weight of the moment. These are not artists who do things casually, and a tour billed as a farewell — even an "almost" one — carries real emotional stakes for fans who have followed their careers for thirty or forty years.
Atlanta audiences who have followed Christian music through its most creatively fertile era have a specific connection to both artists. The Atlanta metro area has long been a stronghold for gospel, contemporary Christian, and faith-based entertainment, and a show of this caliber at an intimate venue like Buckhead Theatre is precisely the kind of event that sells out well before the date arrives.
