Go To Hale 420

by Genevieve Rhiger

January 30, 2018

Rock ‘n roll fan and music lover Hale Milgrim is back with the high-ly anticipated return of Quips & Clips! Hale (aka, the Trip Master) has mined his personal archives for rare concert footage and insider stories that celebrate 420, and–thanks to a little help from his friends–will lead a magical mystery tour of legendary artists from the 60’s to the present and share rarely heard rock ’n roll stories. While we cannot reveal who will be the subject of many of the clips you may (or may not) have seen before, don’t worry–you’re in for something completely different.

Milgrim’s musical journey started behind the counter at Isla Vista’s Discount Records and has spiraled upward through a succession of positions at major record labels, leading eventually to a stint as the President/CEO of Capitol Records. Since returning to Santa Barbara with his wife Anne, he has continued to work and support local music (including Sings Like Hell), and hosted a Sunday radio show, “Go to Hale,” which aired for over six years on KTYD.

Audiences can look forward to memorable insights, commentary and illumination from Hale–well, at least everything he remembers. Allow us to be blunt; this show is going to be a hit.

The presentation will begin at 6:57 PM sharp, and doors open at 6:27 PM. Seating is general admission, so be sure to get here beginning at 6:03 PM on the Esplanade for pre-show refreshments and memorabilia sale, and fun stuff from Lobero LIVE and KTYD.

Proceeds from these sales benefit live music at the Lobero Theatre.

SBVN – MUSIC is MEDICINE

by Genevieve Rhiger

January 29, 2018

Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care presents the 5^th Annual PHorum: Perspectives in Healthcare at the Lobero Theatre featuring “Music is Medicine: Comfort & Renewal After Loss” with a keynote performance by Gary Malkin, a multiple Emmy, Clio, and ASCAP award-winning recipient. Malkin’s work as a music and health innovator has redefined the roles that music and sound play in healthcare, education, and mindfulness programs. Music is the universal language of emotion. Music therapy offers emotional support and provides an outlet for reflection and expression of feelings, ultimately improving one’s quality of life. As our community continues to recover and rebuild from the fire and mudslides, VNHC offers this event in support of community healing. Thanks to the ongoing generosity and support of this community, admission is FREE with registration. Seating is limited; and open seating on a first-come, first-served basis. For more info go to www.vnhcsb.org/phorum.

Jay Farrar (Son Volt)

by Genevieve Rhiger

January 29, 2018

As a founder of alternative country pioneers Uncle Tupelo, a solo artist, and as the leader of Son Volt, Jay Farrar’s work often seeks out the ghosts of America’s discordant or forgotten past, converses at length with them, and writes songs that stake a claim to a better future. Most recently, Farrar has added the Son Volt album, Notes of Blue, to his long list of critically acclaimed albums.

From his earliest recordings in the 1990s as a founding member of Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar has been a keen observer of the American landscape: its beauties and its tragedies, salvations and poisons.

It’s a perspective that’s been hard-won by steady touring and travel through this nation, and Farrar’s two-decades as the leader of Son Volt (as well as impressive turns as an acclaimed solo artist and collaborator) have only deepened and sharpened his gift for capturing the sights and sounds of his American journey.

Johnny Irion

Best known for his folk explorations with his wife Sarah Lee Guthrie, including their recent Wassaic Way produced by Jeff Tweedy, and his latest rock venture with US ELEVATOR, which Will Hermes of Rolling Stone Magazine praised for its “songs that are hand crafted as lovingly as the jeans on the back of After the Goldrush,” Irion has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting artists across the folk-rock spectrum, from his uncannily Young-Nilsson-esque voice to his melodic and lyrical mettle.

Derek Douget

by Genevieve Rhiger

January 22, 2018

Derek Douget, a member of the Ellis Marsalis Quartet and the Director of the Heritage School of Music, finely mixes his Louisiana upbringing with his strong individualism and idiosyncratic voice. Playing the alto and soprano saxophones, Douget has performed with many notable musicians on the New Orleans scene, including the inaugural Louis Armstrong Quintet–a performing group of graduate students dedicated to teaching jazz in New Orleans area schools. Derek Douget has performed or worked with a veritable who’s who in the world of jazz, including Nicholas Payton, Ellis Marsalis, Dr. John, Terence Blanchard, Allen Toussaint, Branford Marsalis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Randy Brecker, Wyclef Jean, Jason Marsalis, Kermit Ruffins, Stefon Harris and many other excellent musicians.

On February 20-23, 2018 Derek will be in Santa Barbara to work with students from local high schools, colleges and non-profit organizations as he and his band spend quality time providing in-classroom instruction, working on charts with kids at Notes for Notes at the local Boys & Girls Clubs before capping off the week with a live performance with his quintet and friends. This collaboration is designed to inspire young jazz players, to celebrate Black History Month, and to help create the jazz audiences of the future.

Special thanks go out to the Bentson Kauth Family for supporting this unique residency. We also appreciate the support of the Santa Barbara Bowl and the many members of our Brubeck Society. Supporting music and other arts education is an important part of the Lobero’s mission, but we could not do it without the partnership of friends and funders who share our vision.

Due to flooding and road closures in Montecito, Camerata Pacifica’s concert originally scheduled for 7.30 p.m. Friday evening, January 12th, at the Music Academy of the West has relocated to the Lobero Theatre.

Together Camerata Pacifica and the Lobero Theatre will offer this as a community concert. Camerata Pacifica’s ticket holders will be transferred and reseated at the Lobero. The remaining tickets will be offered on a pay-as-you-wish basis, with all proceeds to benefit the United Way Thomas Fire and Flood Fund to support victims in Santa Barbara County following the dreadful events of recent days.

“Camerata Pacifica’s role in our community is to present music,” said Camerata Pacifica Artistic Director Adrian Spence, “and during this time of great challenge that is the best thing for us to do. For those who would like to join us we will play. This music speaks to each of us individually, and from it we each draw our own comfort.”

David Asbell, Lobero Theatre Executive Director echoes these sentiments. “The Lobero Theatre has always been a home to the community in times of need, and we’re proud to partner with Camerata Pacifica for a quality evening that reminds us of the healing power of the arts.”

Capitol Steps 2018

by Genevieve Rhiger

January 9, 2018

No one in the headlines is safe from the side-splitting satire of the Capitol Steps, the only group in Washington attempting to be funnier than Congress. This troupe of former Congressional staffers travels the country satirizing the very people and places that once employed them.

No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish. What more would you expect from the group that puts the “MOCK” in Democracy?!

“They’re the best. There’s no one like them, no one in their league.” — Larry King, CNN
“[Capitol Steps] brings chuckles…rave reviews…guffaws…and bipartisan grins all around.” —Wall Street Journal
“An oasis of good-natured ribbing in a fiercely partisan world” – Washington Post
