James Durbin, finalist on American Idol in 2010, came up on stage at the White Album Ensemble concert in Santa Cruz. Durbin previously sang with the White Album Ensemble in 2008 and 2009 before making his appearance on American Idol.
Durbin joined the band for an encore of two songs: "A Little Help from My Friends" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Great to see Durbin taking time out of his schedule for an end of year concert. And as Durbin mentioned on stage, he's getting married in 2 days to his fiancée, Heidi, to whom he proposed to 3 years earlier after a White Album Ensemble concert. I managed to get both songs on video. I apologize in advance that some of video is a bit overexposed, but the sound quality is good.
There's another gig tomorrow night at the Rio theater in Santa Cruz covering Revolver and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Tickets are still available.
I'll post more videos from the rest of both shows on the weekend.
