David Lindley

by Genevieve Rhiger
April 11, 2017

On record and in performance, David Lindley and Jackson Browne have a musical association reaching back almost 40 years. David’s legendary stringed-instrument virtuosity has been showcased on many of Browne’s albums, beginning with 1973’s For Everyman, and on classics such as Late For The Sky and The Pretender (the latter two both on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time). Browne also produced Lindley’s 1983 LP, the acclaimed El Rayo-X.

Throughout this long and distinguished career, David Lindley has been one of the world’s most in demand session musicians, lending his skills to the recorded works of Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Warren Zevon, Ben Harper and many others.

 

Beginning at 6pm on the Lobero Esplanade The Santa Barbara Acoustic Instrument Celebration will conduct a viewing, demonstration and auction of two fine guitars handmade in California. There will be free slack key music by Kimo West & Ken Emerson. Click here for more information about the guitar auction.

Leo Kottke

by Genevieve Rhiger
April 11, 2017

Famed acoustic player Leo Kottke is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on blues, jazz, and folk music, and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies. Kottke overcame a series of personal obstacles, including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand to emerge as a widely recognized master of his instrument. In concert, Kottke intersperses humorous and often bizarre monologues with vocal and instrumental selections from throughout his career, played solo on his 6- and 12- string guitars.

Come early and join us on the Lobero Esplanade for wine tasting sponsored by the SB Winery starting at 6:00 pm.  The film program starts promptly at 7:00 pm.

Directed by legendary Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura, Flamenco Flamenco is a musical journey through a dynamic and universal art form that reaches far beyond the borders of flamenco and Spanish culture. Beautifully photographed by famed Academy Award-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (Apocalpyse Now), Flamenco Flamenco showcases 21 powerful and dazzling performances by some of the greatest flamenco masters and young artists living today, including this year’s guest artist Patricia Guerrero.

Before the film, Cristina Venegas, Associate Professor UCSB Department of Film and Media Studies, will give a brief talk on the film and its director, Carlos Saura. After the film, Guerrero will make an appearance to talk about working with Carlos Saura and her show to be performed at the Lobero Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 30.

Flamenco Arts Festival Gala Performance 2017

by Genevieve Rhiger
April 7, 2017

The Flamenco Arts Festival presents a captivating offering from featured award-winning artist Patricia Guerrero in the U.S. Premiere of Upclose.  Ms. Guerrero has achieved tremendous success with her signature style, and has developed an intimate show that pays tribute to the three elements of flamenco: guitar, song, and dance.  Ms. Guerrero is stunning on stage and her choreography is unique and compelling. The Lobero Theatre is the perfect setting for a show that will be traditional in concept, but contemporary in its approach.  

 

Alberto Pizano Award for the Arts

Presented to David Asbell, Executive Director, Lobero Theatre

As part of the gala performance, Mr. Asbell will receive this award during a special on-stage presentation in recognition of a lifetime of dedication to the arts through leadership.  This award, formerly known as the Lifetime Achievement Award, has been renamed in honor of Alberto Pizano, co-founder and President of the Festival from 1999 – 2015. 

Since its inception in 1999, David Asbell has been a major influence and friend of the Flamenco Arts Festival.  He has freely and consistently offered professional advice and guidance on several topics that have added immeasurably to the success of the Festival over the last 18 years.  The FAF Board is truly grateful for his leadership and presents this award in appreciation to his commitment to the arts.

David Asbell joins previous recipients Cristina Hoyos (2003), Roberto Amaral (2004) and Juan Talavera (2009)

HUDSON

We regret to report that jazz supergroup HUDSON’s upcoming performance on Friday, June 9 has been cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. 

We apologize for any inconvenience surrounding this issue. 

Refunds will be issued automatically for any credit card sales.

Please contact the box office at 805.963.0761 if payment was made in cash, or if you have any questions regarding your purchase.

This all-star band calls themselves Hudson, named after the Hudson River Valley they each call home. Drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Larry Grenadier, keyboardist John Medeski, and guitarist John Scofield team up to celebrate their musical histories and Jack’s 75th birthday year in a tour de force of creative interplay. Fans know them as hard swinging jazz masters; deft and creative jam purveyors, rocking funky groove maestros, each musician at the top of his game. It’s rare that so impressive a group of individuals finds time away from their own projects to tour together.
