Performance: Jim Hill Art Works Opening Reception

I'm honored to be performing guitar at Jim Hill's art opening on Wednesday, February 10, 5:30-7:00 PM. His art is really incredible. Jim was an end of life counselor for a number of years at Hospice SB, and his art is reflective of that in a dark yet humorous way. It is very deep and brilliant work. He is also a close friend of mine and a former guitar student. So, there is a great musical and artistic connection that will drive the passion of my music performance. I highly recommend you visit the Leigh Block Gallery to view the exhibit (through April 29)- at, and proceeds benefit Hospice of Santa Barbara, 2050 Alameda Padre Serra, Suite 100, Santa Barbara 93103.

Santa Barbara International Film Festival Performance

SB Guitar Collective is excited to announce we will be doing a street performance this Thursday, February 4th, 12:00-3:00 PM near the corner of State and Carrillo Streets, on behalf of the Santa Barbara Downtown Organization. We will bring even more auditory excitement to the already bustling, and one of the most credible cultural film arts festivals on the West Coast, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF), happening February 3-13 in many downtown Santa Barbara locations. Perhaps Johnny Depp or Elizabeth Banks will sit in with us? Love & Mercy was a very inspiring flick... Although we don't specialize in vocals, we plan to achieve a level of guitar genius much like Brian Wilson.  Keep your eyes and ears open! For more info about the film festival, visit www.sbiff.org.  For more info about the SB Guitar Collective visit our website.
