Join us as we turn up the volume for David M. Mendoza, a legendary man who lived out loud and brightened everything he touched. This curated afternoon of music will spotlight Mendoza’s impact on Santa Barbara, celebrating both his contributions as a musician and his influence as an educator who inspired countless local students during his impressive career with the Santa Barbara School District. At the center of the event will be the 20-year reunion of Santa Barbara indie rock icons, The Hero and the Victor. The afternoon will also feature musical performances by artists who knew and loved Mendoza, including performances by The Lineup, Cactus Jerry and the Coyotes, Brasscals, and more.
Together, we’ll laugh, cry, and enjoy an afternoon of music and stories in remembrance of a truly remarkable man.
