festival that just had its
22nd year of wonderful
acoustic music from
around the world on 9/27.
Started by Mike Shobe,
(pronounced "Show-Bee")
an acoustic aficionado from
Santa Barbara, Mike put
together festivals with
Bruce Dragge, Chili Dave
and Liz & B.D. in Santa
Barbara, Carpinteria and Ojai.
 |
| Hani Naser Band |
They have included multiple
Grammy winners and local
favorites who donate their
time and talents freely to
keep the festival strumming
year after year... Shobe brought
attention to acoustic music on
the central coast long before
"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Mike passed away in 2011, but
his musical legacy lives on. As
he used to say, "Sounds Good!"
 |
| Honeysuckle Possums |
Peace, Love, Music and
Understanding are the words
of the day and Dave's Chili and
Paella fed the troops as talent
from around the world took
the stage for a foot stompin'
good time...

| Lefty and the Aces |
 |
| The line up... |
 |
| A happy Shobefester... |
Jumping at the opportunity to
help raise money for a great
cause, I am honored to have
created the image for this year's
t-shirt. Since there is no charge
to attend, annual support is
generated with the help of
imaginative designs by well
known local artists.
 |
| A big fan of Hope & Justin... |
 |
| Something about the ShobeFest gets people sweet... |
The "Air Uke" design raised a
lot of money for the event as
festival goers made generous
contributions towards their
favorite t-shirts, sweat shirts
and tote bags.
Thank you to everyone involved
in this year's ShobeFest, and to
those who came to enjoy and
reminisce about past Fests... to
NewbieFesters and especially
to Earthtrine Farm for the blessed
venue. "Sounded good!"

| Thank you BD & Liz for your generosity...! |
