More Than Just A Party Band

A personal view of what it means to be a cultural and musical icon in a community. Growing up in the idyllic 1970s Santa Barbara, a surfing-basketball-playing tango-dancing musician effortlessly achieves a flash of early fame, but is then forced to rewrite his definition of success when faced with a harsh music industry, unrelenting personal obstacles, and cultural shifts. The result is 40 years of his own enduring and quirky brand of music and entertainment style that some say sounds like the soul of Santa Barbara.
