The Prime Time Band is a vibrant group of more than 60 amateur musicians with a mission to provide:

Entry points to music making for adults (age 40-90+), including those with no musical experience and those who have been inactive for a long time. Many PTB members who hadn’t played an instrument since high school—or ever—have rediscovered the joy of making music with an ensemble.

Free concerts for the greater Santa Barbara community, performing large public concerts, appearing in local parades and outdoor events and bringing musical joy to civic groups and retirement communities throughout the county. The band repertoire includes pop, classics, show tunes and marches.

Dynamic director Dr. Paul Mori brings enthusiasm, charisma and energy to the podium.  A Santa Barbara native gifted in conducting, Paul is passionate about music and its role in brightening lives in the local community.  Read more about Paul Mori

Founded in 1995 as a non-profit 501(c)3, the band has performed more than 175 free concerts and been declared by the City to be a “Santa Barbara Treasure”. PTB is part of New Horizons International Music Association, dedicated to enriching communities through the joy of music-making.

Felipe Esparza is a stand-up comedian and actor who’s come a long way since winning NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2010. While that may have opened doors and helped build his fan base around the country, his hard work and focus in more recent years has brought him longevity. With three successful stand-up specials on Netflix and HBO, his “What’s Up Fool? Podcast” holding steady as one of the top comedy podcasts for the last eight years, and his sold-out tour dates all over the country, Felipe is now at a point where he is moving more into TV and film. He has been a recurring favorite on TV Shows such as Superstore, The Eric Andre Show, Gentefied, and Victor and Valentino, as well as appearing in films including Guest House with Pauly Shore, 7th & Union with Omar Chaparro, Daddy Daughter Trip with Rob Schneider and You People with Eddie Murphy and Jonah Hill. Felipe is currently on tour and working on his fourth stand-up special.
