Downtown Santa Barbara Love

It is great to be a part of the flourishing Santa Barbara Arts community! Thanks to the new 10 West Gallery on 10 West Anapamu Street for having GuitarWitt as part of the Downtown Santa Barbara Organization’s DSB Live Art Wine community event, not to mention countless fun 1st Thursday receptions. For the DSB Live Art Wine Event, 10 West Gallery also featured live art from the local reputable abstract artist, Rick Doehring, and amazing poetry by Molly, as seen in the image. Culinary arts - catered by many a local and our faves – Brasil Arts Café. Of course, some great local Santa Barbara County Wines were enjoyed. Due to the nature of the event, Brazilian classical and jazz, among other upbeat instrumental pieces were performed. GuitarWitt Brazilian repertoire includes works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Paulo Bellinati, Garoto, Jobim and more. The event was a great success and we look forward to doing it again! For more repertoire and audio samples, visit the GuitarWitt wedding repertoire page or our new Gigmasters profile and/or ask about the Santa Barbara Guitar Collective duo. 

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.
