James Taylor
Drummer and Concert Promoter living in the Twin Cities.
About Me
James Taylor is a born and bred Texan now living in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. As the operating partner and general manager of Holy Mountain, a live music venue and bar in Austin, he hosted hundreds of bands across all genres. After moving to Minneapolis to escape the Austin heat, James joined the booking team at First Avenue, one of Pollstar’s Top 50 Promoters. As a touring drummer, he’s performed nationally and internationally and loves to get lost in a new city. His new projects, LAAMAR and Unstables Shapes, both celebrate the release of new albums in Spring 2025. Co-curator of the monthly jazz vinyl night Call it Anything at Japanese whiskey bar Gori Gori Peku, James knows the best places to dig for vinyl, catch an up-and-coming live band, or relax with a cocktail and a lakeside view. He’s still searching for the perfect breakfast taco.
