In its 14th outstanding season on stage at The Lobero, The ADDERLEY School Advanced Conservatory, is delighted to be performing, the Broadway classic and Tony award winning production, Oliver!

Bringing Charles Dickens’ beloved novel to life, Lionel Bart’s Oliver! takes audiences on a captivating adventure through England. Orphaned Oliver Twist navigates London’s underworld of theft and brutality, searching for a home, a family, and – most importantly – for love. When Oliver is picked up on the street by a boy named the Artful Dodger, he is welcomed into a gang of child pickpockets led by the conniving, but charismatic, Fagin. When Oliver is falsely accused of a theft he didn’t commit, he is rescued by a kind and wealthy gentleman, to the dismay of Fagin’s violent sidekick, Bill Sykes. Caught in the middle is the warm-hearted Nancy, who is trapped under Bill’s thumb, but desperate to help Oliver, with tragic results. With spirited, timeless songs like “As Long as He Needs Me,” “Food, Glorious Food,” and “Where is Love,” Oliver! is a musical classic not to be missed!

An Evening with Los Lobos

by Cecilia Martini-Muth
November 11, 2019

Los Lobos, comprised of David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, and Steve Berlin, has sold millions of records, won prestigious awards, and made fans around the world. Their music embodies the idea of America as a cultural melting pot; styles like son jarocho, norteño, Tejano, folk, country, doo-wop, soul, R&B, rock ’n’ roll, and punk all come together to create a new sound that’s greater than the sum of its parts. The GRAMMY® Award-winning group has prided itself on never covering the same ground twice while making music for nearly five decades. Their debut for the New West label, Native Sons, is due out July 30.

Nancy Sanchez, songwriter, performer and award-winning Jazz vocalist, represents a new voice in the world of ranchera music, providing a first-person, woman’s perspective within a historically male-dominated genre. Born in Toluca, Mexico, then making her home in the United States, Nancy reflects both cultures by combining elements of Mexican Folkloric, Jazz, Latin Alternative and pop in her live set.

 

 

 

The Lobero is delighted to welcome author/photographer Patricia Houghton Clarke to showcase her new book, Facing Ourselves: Reckoning, which will be available for purchase at the event. All net proceeds will be donated to Storyteller Children’s Center https://www.storytellercenter.org/. To learn more, please visit her website at: https://www.facingourselves.org/reckoning

 

 

 

 

Storyteller is a year-round therapeutic preschool program serving Santa Barbara County’s most vulnerable children and families. In our programs, we collaborate with CALM, FSA, Communify, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, Wilderness Youth Project, Transition House, and many others – collaboration is key to effecting positive change and community dollars are critical in driving this collective effort.

A letter from Brian Culbertson:

Hi there,

While we all had hopes that 2021 would bring good news, it seems that it isn’t here yet, at least on the music touring front. Due to the ongoing restrictions by the US, State, and Local governments, the majority of our venues are still not allowed to have live events. Therefore, The XX Tour has officially been canceled.

There is some bright news…

Until we see each other again in real life, I’ll keep streaming “The Hang with Brian Culbertson” every Friday night at 5P/8E on Facebook LIVE with encore on YouTube!

Thanks for your continued patience and understanding while we all navigate the current times. Be healthy and I’ll see you soon!

Cheers my friends,

Brian

LUTAH

by Cecilia Martini-Muth
October 31, 2019

LUTAH explores the life of a little known architect who left a big legacy. She designed iconic buildings such as the Lobero Theatre, Vedanta Temple, and the Botanic Garden and was integral to rebuilding a damaged Santa Barbara after the 1925 earthquake. Lutah designed exquisite homes in many styles for some of Santa Barbara’s greatest philanthropists and spent hundreds of volunteer hours laying the foundation for the Santa Barbara Landmarks Commission. She did all of this as an independent woman at the turn of the 20th century.

This is the untold story of Lutah Maria Riggs.

Lutah navigated her way through the male-centric world of architecture and brought a fresh take to the established architectural styles of Southern California. From Spanish Colonial Revival to Art Deco, to Modernist and back to Traditionalism, Riggs mastered the art of experimentation. Her attention to detail, use of new materials, environmental concerns, and love of the natural landscape brought a unique and specific quality to her work. As one of her contemporaries said, “With Lutah, there was no such thing as impossible; it just took a little bit longer.”

For 60 years Lutah blazed a trail for architects and women, relying on the courage of her convictions and a hint of eccentricity. In a time when most women’s highest expectation was marriage Riggs pursued her passion and created a life of independence, an exceptional choice for a woman at that time. In addition to her buildings, Lutah also left a legacy: She was a self-made woman who boldly overcame barrier after barrier.

LUTAH offers never before seen photos and journal entries from Riggs’ personal collection, and candid interviews reveal the woman behind the drafting table. With stunning footage of some of Santa Barbara’s most iconic structures and a rare glimpse of private homes, LUTAH sheds light on true Santa Barbara treasures.

Electric Hot Tuna

by Cecilia Martini-Muth
October 28, 2019

The name Hot Tuna invokes as many different moods and reactions as there are Hot Tuna fans — millions of them. To some, Hot Tuna is a reminder of some wild and happy times. To others, that name will forever be linked to their own discovery of the power and depth of American blues and roots music. To newer fans, Hot Tuna is a tight, masterful duo that is on the cutting edge of great music.

All of those things are correct, and more. For more than four decades, Hot Tuna has played, toured, and recorded some of the best and most memorable acoustic and electric music ever. And Hot Tuna is still going strong — some would say stronger than ever.

For Americana godfather David Bromberg, it all began with the blues.

Bromberg’s incredible journey spans five-and-a-half decades, and includes – but is not limited to – adventures with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, and music and life lessons from seminal blues guitarist Reverend Gary Davis, who claimed the young Bromberg as a son. A musician’s musician, Bromberg’s mastery of several stringed instruments (guitar, fiddle, Dobro, mandolin), and multiple styles is legendary, leading Dr. John to declare him an American icon. In producing John Hartford’s hugely influential Aereo-Plain LP, Bromberg even co-invented a genre: Newgrass.
