Santa Barbara Vacation Rental’s Top Reasons to Explore Local Burgeoning Music Scene
By: Graham Farrar
Posted: Oct 29, 2010
Music lovers return to their Santa Barbara vacation rentals year after year because music of all kinds is deeply embedded in the local culture. And no matter what your musical tastes are, there’s a good chance our music scene can cater to them.
It takes a very cosmopolitan community to equally support such divergent endeavors as the Music Academy of the West which supports and molds classically talented youths, and the New Noise Music Conference & Festival that introduces and encourages up and coming popular music talents and has been deemed the West Coast’s answer to Austin’s south by southwest.
Additionally, as our fair city is located in between Los Angeles and San Francisco, many artists who are poised for greatness make our music scene one of their stops before heading for the bright lights of the big city. Both locals and vacation rental guests alike enjoy supporting the burgeoning music scene. In fact, many people flock from all over the country to book a vacation rental so that they can catch their favorite artist or group in performance at an intimate local venue.
Here are our top reasons for exploring the local music scene, designed to help music lovers get the most out of their vacation rental stay.
Reason #1 to Enjoy Our Burgeoning Music Scene: Santa Barbara natives are all over the Top-40 charts.
Gone but not forgotten are the hometown artists who have hit the big time. Toad the Wet Sprocket, Katy Perry and Hawaiian surfing singer and eco-friendly pop artist Jack Johnson are some of the local kids who have made good.
For those who want to catch the next big thing, the local paper the Santa Barbara Independent regularly asks readers to name their favorite local bands, including everything from 2 Faced to Zach Madden in 31 different genres from acoustic to world.
Reason #2 to Enjoy Our Burgeoning Music Scene: There’s something for everyone.
In addition to sporting gorgeous vacation rentals, our city is home to dozens of clubs offering jazz, pop, rock, house, hip-hop, etc. There’s definitely something for everyone close to your vacation rental. Remember, we’re a college town, and the kids in Goleta have a low boredom threshold, so they all flock to State Street on the weekend.

If you’re looking for a young and hip scene with fresh performers, you might want to check out Live Culture in the Paseo Nuevo mall. If you’re seeking a more laid-back and grown up atmosphere, try SOhO. If jazz is your raison d’être, keep an eye out for the UCSB Arts and Lectures Jazz Series, which has featured gifted luminaries like Wynton Marsalis and Ornette Coleman.
Check the local entertainment listings or ask your hotel or vacation rental concierge to help you find the perfect venue for you.
Reason #3 to Enjoy Our Burgeoning Music Scene: We are a world-class classical music destination.
Our music scene has a reputation as being southern California’s premier locale to find stellar classical talent. No matter whether your senses soar to the sounds of Verdi or Vivaldi, there are many venues to choose from and many vacation rentals close by.
The Community Arts Music Association offers two series of classical concerts, the International Series at the Granada Theatre and the Masterseries at the Lobero. The Lobero also has a wide variety of entertainment with music concerts and jazz.
The Music Academy of the West is an intensive training workshop for classical artists. They offer student concerts throughout the summer in opera, orchestra and chamber music.
Camerata Pacifica is a chamber music group that performs monthly concerts of old favorites and new pieces.
The Santa Barbara Opera has three performances a year, and does music education for children in the community.
The Santa Barbara Choral Society offers several outstanding concerts a year and some overseas performances.
The Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra offers five concerts during the season with world-class soloists on different instruments.
The Granada Theater is the home of The Santa Barbara Symphony and its many diverse concerts, behind-the-scenes talks and performances. The SB Youth Symphony also offers concerts at The Lobero.
Reason #4 to Enjoy Our Burgeoning Music Scene: All of the up and coming popular artists stop here.
The crème de la crème always make sure a stop at our music scene is on their tour schedule. Most established hot acts can be caught at the Bowl. Those on the upswing can often be found perfecting their gigs at one of the many clubs downtown.
Reason #5 to Enjoy Our Burgeoning Music Scene: We have a wide variety of international cultural music.
The Bowl, the Granada and Arlington offer cultural performances and concerts. But the best places to catch these acts are the smaller clubs. You can find anything from Taiko drumming to Tango music to while away your evening hours. If you get a vacation rental near downtown, you can enjoy clubbing without having to worry about needing a car to get back to your Santa Barbara vacation rental.
UCSB also offers a lot of performances (many of them free) of both local and visiting talent with an international bent.
Reason #6 to Enjoy Our Burgeoning Music Scene: You can find the very best in musical theater here.
The Arlington Theater offers traveling musicals, opera simulcasts, spoken word entertainment, and some concerts. There are also smaller local dinner theaters that offer fun and inventive theater.
There is so much to see and listen to in Santa Barbara. The possibilities are endless. No one visit can possibly cover all of the musical outlets, so it is imperative that you plan ahead. As soon as you’ve booked your vacation rental, check out a local events calendar to start planning your musical journey. Whether you’re in town to hear Puccini, The Black Crowes or a Brazilian dance band, you’ll find something to wow you, and lure you back for more.
