An intimate evening of Roots Americana with The Odd Birds and special guest Doug Schmude.

The Odd Birds are two of the least cool rock stars you’ll ever meet (no really, they met doing musical theatre). They have been playing their blend of Americana/country/folk music for over a decade. They’ve toured and had radio play in both the US and Europe. Known for their vocal harmonies, they were named one of Metronome Boston’s Top 21 bands in 2021.

Prime Time Band is a vibrant group of more than seventy-five amateur musicians (ages 40-90+) with a mission to provide free concerts for the greater Santa Barbara community. Their FREE Spring Concert will kick off the band's 30th Anniversary Celebration year with surprise guests and memories of past performances. Immerse yourself in an afternoon of thrilling symphonic band classics from Gustav Holst and Sousa, to the upbeat swing of Dave Brubeck and the stirring music from the hit film Top Gun. Dynamic director Dr. Paul Mori brings enthusiasm, charisma and energy to the podium.
