My Rock Moment: Skip Taylor - Music Producer & Manager of Canned Heat

Pantheon - Home for Music Lovers

Skip Taylor's life and times are part of rock legend. He cut his teeth in the LA music scene in the 60s working with the who's who of rock at the time. However, Skip is best known as Canned Heat's manager and has been managing the band since the mid-60s, shortly after discovering them playing at a UCLA frat party. Also playing at that fateful frat party were The Doors, and he shares how he got both bands a record deal. Skip was in the center of it all at Woodstock and Monterey Pop, and recounts his adventures in opening Kaleidoscope, the hot nightclub in Hollywood that became a short-lived dream thanks to some greedy LA gangsters.

This interview is packed with great stories from a guy who was in the middle of some of the greatest rock moments of the time, so let’s get into it!
