Keep the Beat Radiothon
In an effort to support public school music programs, 99.9 KTYD Morning Mojo’s Lin Aubuchon and Bill Pesso broadcasted live for two days to ask for cash donations and instruments for Santa Barbara’s students. In 2018, the Keep the Beat Radiothon brought in over 120 instruments and $12,000 to help fix and maintain the donated music makers.
Pianos on State
A favorite event in Santa Barbara, Pianos on State is a collaborative and interactive musical experience that takes place during Arts and Humanities month in October. Each piano becomes its own piece of art as local Santa Barbara artists create individual looks.
