Is there any Sacred Harp singing going on in the Santa Barbara area these days? I have met someone from there who is interested in checking it out. melissasteph@gmail.com

Melissa,
I know there has been interest in Sacred Harp in the SB area in the past, but I really don’t know the current situation, or even who to ask. Perhaps Prof. Tim Cooley at UCSB Ethnomusicology might know, or someone at the Unitarian Church on Santa Barbara Street. I believe there was a group doing that in San Diego, but again, I’m not current on that.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful — it’s a wonderful experience.
Hi Peter, I’ve been looking for a fiddle player to do casual gigs in SB. I’ve noticed there is a lack of any musician connection site in the SB area. Maybe an “Musicians Available to Play” section would be a good addition?
Hi Barry,
Nice to hear from you! I think that’s a good idea. Let me figure out a good way to incorporate that into my website to make it most useful. If you have any suggestions, do let me know.
Best,
-Peter
I’ll see what I can dig up in the way of a simple database that would allow easy access. Updates to follow my friend.
