Press Release
SANTA BARBARA, CA (November 22, 2011) – On Thursday, December 1, 2011, the Santa Barbara Chapter of Surfrider Foundation will celebrate its 20th anniversary with its “Annual Holiday Party” at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club in Santa Barbara. The local chapter wants to raise public awareness of the threats to the Gaviota Coast; and funds needed to continue SB Surfrider’s 10+year effort to stop development. SB Surfrider is committed to continue this effort for the long haul.
Santa Barbara favorites “Spencer the Gardener” will be joined in musical duties by “Blue Suns,” a young psych-rock band that recently placed in the finals of the “Downtown Sounds” battle of the bands competition, sponsored by New Noise Santa Barbara. Blue Suns describes themselves as “Indy/Brit Rock/Surf Rock/Pop British edge fused with Californian sun.” Spencer the Gardener, an anchor in the Santa Barbara music scene, will headline with their fun, crowd-pleasing, danceable mix of originals and reconfigured covers.
Both bands are genuinely excited to be playing with each other for the first time, and exposing each other’s crowds to their music. Given the young following of Blue Suns, this event is ALL AGES, as long as under age attendees have a dinner reservation (i.e., “bring your folks.”).
A raffle featuring a custom designed longboard by local shaper Tyler Anderson, a snowboard generously donated by Arbor Collective (just downstairs from SOhO), and various gift baskets will take place as well.
The Surfrider Foundation is a national, international and local non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s waves, oceans and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education. The Santa Barbara Chapter, founded in 1991, is made up of coastal enthusiasts, just like you, who care about our local coast and ocean.
