Terry Scott Taylor

7pm in the Collegium at Biola University

A prolific singer-songwriter with 30 years of experience making a living in music, Terry Scott Taylor is bringing his one-man show to Biola's Collegium by special invitation. During his long career, Terry has restlessly re-invented his musical style repeatedly: He was an important figure in the "Jesus music" movement of the 1970s, a boundary-breaking innovator throughout the 80s with his band Daniel Amos, and the front man for The Swirling Eddies and the Lost Dogs throughout the 90s. Still presiding over all three bands and maintaining a solo career, Terry also produces for other artists, records soundtracks for movies, TV shows and video games, and whistles on his way to the mailbox. How does he keep it all up? His lyrics are thoughtful, literary, and formed by his deep Christian faith. (Check him out at danielamos.com)

Who can describe a Terry Taylor solo performance? It's a mixture of a concert, stand-up comedy, story-telling, devotional meditations, goofy sing-alongs, tear-jerking ballads, news analysis, punch lines, plot twists, snide asides and prophetic words. He will use his magic powers to hypnotize you.

He may sing songs about the end of the world, the cross of Christ, or his cat. I can't really predict or control his repertoire. (On a personal note, let me say that if you don't like his music, you will only lower my opinion of you.)

I get to see him tonight. For Free. Its the end of a very long, and a little discouraging week. This is a highlight.
