Come join us at The Santa Barbara Wine Collective for some traditional and original folk tunes by local music artist Beau James Wilding. Beau has been playing guitar and writing songs since the age of fifteen. His intense emotional relationship with music was deepened after a disease left him “legally blind” at the age of eighteen on a backpacking trip through Europe. His influences range from punk and metal to the ballad traditions of Ireland and Scotland to blues and jazz. He is known for his passionate vocal delivery and has often been compared to such rugged songsters as Tom Waits, Hot Water Music and Louis Armstrong.
