Saturday, March 29, 7:30 PM – Cabrillo Samper Recital Hall
APTOS, CA – Cabrillo College’s Visual and Performing Arts division presents American Idol star James Durbin in “Conversations With Creative Heroes” live on stage with Wallace Baine at the Cabrillo Samper Recital Hall, Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 PM. Doors open at 7:00 PM for first-come, first-served seating.
Santa Cruz Sentinel arts writer Wallace Baine, known for his witty banter and inspiring insights, will hold a live, onstage interview with Santa Cruz native singer-songwriter James Durbin. The event, held in the intimate Samper Recital Hall, will give attendees the opportunity to hear Durbin in conversation about his life, his rise to stardom on American Idol and his creative processes. A Q&A will follow the rare one-on-one live interview with the audience and some extra surprises!
Santa Cruz native James Durbin has come a long way since rocking the stage of the10th season of American Idol every week with his signature hard-rock vocals. His debut album Memories of a Beautiful Disaster hit the Billboard Top 10 and sold over 120,000 copies. While the album cemented Durbin¹s rock status (with Revolver Magazine naming him one of the 100 Greatest Living Rock Stars), Durbin felt that the album was not a true representation of his artistry, unable to let all of his talents be fully expressed. Durbin¹s new album, Celebrate, set for release on April 8, featuring his latest single “Parachute” allowed him to take creative control over writing and production, resulting in a true mix of his musical influences. James has written 10 of the 11 songs on the new album.
Cabrillo College hopes this event will potentially blossom into an ongoing series with Wallace Baine, celebrating Santa Cruz County¹s creative heroes in a wide range of genres.
