This year’s Feed the Funk welcomes all ages from 6:30-9:00 pm to enjoy dinner and teen entertainment. Be sure to make dinner reservations via Soho Music Club. Tables are filling fast!

The Jewish Federation’s Teen Comedy Club will kick off the event to warm up the crowd, featuring emcee Louise Palanker, and comedy headliner Tom Clark (@tomclarkcomedy) followed by the Cate School Jazz Band, and other great teen performances.

The Big Whoo (9:10-10:10pm): John Whoolilurie has founded several bands and released a live-loop duo record under the name of Whoolilicious. He currently works as composer and producer at Select Studio, performs and records as a freelance multi-instrumentalist, and has recently started a new band called The Big Whoo. A lover of all music, John’s group of talented Santa Barbara musicians plays funky, eclectic grooves that rock. Also, help us celebrate John's birthday at his The Big Whoo's Feed the Funk performance!

This year’s headlining act (10:15-11:45pm) with a new album releasing this Fall, Distant Cousins is multi-layered collaboration of three songwriters/producers/performers; cousin Ami, cousin Dov, and cousin Duvid. Feels like singing along with family! Based out of Los Angeles, Distant Cousins was the grand prize winner of the 2015 USA Songwriting Competition.

SBGC official SB Downtown Org. 1st Thursday street performance at State & Anapamu Streets - October 6th in front of Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Gypsy guitar started as street performance and SBGC will passionately be ripping in to some guitar for this unique setting...

Santa Barbara Guitar Collective:   Robbie and Mike, are the heart of the Santa Barbara Guitar Collective (SBGC). Their diverse backgrounds meld into one as they bring you the rich musical heritage that is World Music, offering everything from intricately arranged classical guitar ensemble pieces to upbeat, artistic expression of traditional, dance-rhythm music and masterful improvisations. Includes rumba, tango, gypsy, jazz, and more! 
Featuring original music in their repertoire, they bring formal classical guitar master works from Agustin Barrios to music you know and love from groups such as the Gipsy Kings, Buena Vista Social Club, and Santana.
