Curently living in Los Angeles, James has just fiished producing the new CD by Emma's Revolution, previously scheduled to be the July performers at TB. He is, simply, a great guitar player, great singer & storyteller with a  musical history that reflects an expertise associated with  one who has lived life to the bone and can tell you about it-- and you'll want to hear it again.

Doug Clegg, Kate Wallace, James McVay and Peter Gallway are local award -winning singer/songwriters. Twice a year, Trinity Backstage presents these fine artists (as well as a few of their friends in the "pilgrim chair") by popular demand. Each has spent a multitude of years in music capitals writing songs, making recordings, producing other artists' recordings and each is well respected by their peers throughout the country. It's like four for the price of one. This weekend is generally Solstice Parade weekend in Santa Barbara and maybe it's just that these four still have some energy left when the confetti has hit the pavement for the last time....This is an in-the-round performance--not often presented in Santa Barbara so you won't want to miss it.

Eric Taylor is one of the few artists who has a greatness that wreathes about him as he takes the stage, no matter what size the venue. An audience instinctively knows to shut up and pay attention. This is a man who takes the art of songwriting – and the art of performance – seriously. And, at the end of the set, the audience will have been transported some place and back again. Eric Taylor doesn’t just make you feel the sun and taste the dust of Texas, he takes you places and puts you inside people’s minds. From prison inmates trying to fathom the jumble of their lives to little kids watching their family implode, Eric Taylor makes it real. Aspiring – and accomplished – songwriters leave Eric Taylor shows shaking their heads in awe. And well they should.
