An amazing show at an amazing location. The Santa Margarita Ranch dates back two centuries, an antiquated venue not lost on this performer. Will Oldham taps into a sound that pulls more influence from Appalachian old-time tunes than modern folk troubadours. He’s been covered by Johnny Cash , been in one of the best Kanye West videos, and even notched up a New Yorker article. Tickets are on sale at www.folkyeah.com and will be available at the door. Write this date down, and don’t miss this show!!!

CONTEST: Stone Temple Pilots & BRMC at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Wednesday, October 27th!
We’re offering you a mid-week rock out with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS w/ BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB!!
Grammy Award winning rockers Stone Temple Pilots will return to the Santa Barbara Bowl with special guests Black Rebel Motorcycle on Wednesday, October 27th. Stone Temple Pilots dominated the ‘90s from start to finish, racking up 16 Billboard Top Ten Singles and selling more that 40 million albums worldwide. STP’s sustained commercial success earned the band greater critical acclaim with each of their five releases before taking a hiatus in 2001. Despite the presence of the greatest hits album, Thank You in 2003, there was a generation that had never witnessed the live rock power of vocalist Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz live in concert, a situation that was remedied as the band announced a long-awaited, highly-anticipated reunion and massive summer tour in 2008. STP is in the driver’s seat for their sixth album, the self-titled Stone Temple Pilots, which was released in May of this year. For the first time in a decade, the band buckled down to handle the production and recording themselves and the result is a highly diverse selection of new music showcasing the band’s incredible chemistry. With Stone Temple Pilots, the band has taken their performance, lyrically and musically, to the next level while giving fans what they love to hear – some good ol’ rock n roll.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC) is known for its unique hybrid brand of garage rock, blues and folk and has cemented their sound and style over the course of their five albums; including the critically acclaimed Howl (2005). In March 2010, the band released Beat the Devil’s Tattoo, which broke the top 5 on the US Independent Albums chart.

CONTEST: Still Time on October 22nd at SLO Brew’s Relaunch!!
Korie and Todd Newman raised the bar of incoming concerts since they took over SLO Brew some years back. We’ve seen more national acts come through (Vampire Weekend, Leon Russell) on a monthly basis, as well as a commitment to keeping a space that consistently welcomes an all-ages audience, which can be pretty rare in America. This Friday, October 22nd marks the re-opening of Downtown Brew upstairs, as well as a return back to its original name, SLO Brew. Coinciding with the relaunch, local act Still Time will take the stage to celebrate the grand re-opening. Doors open at 7:30pm. We’ve had a glimpse of the work in progress upstairs. The renovations look marvelous! Here’s a chance to win a pair of tickets to this event. It should be memorable. Opening act Central Currency will get things started at 8pm.
