THE WHO

MAKE THEIR FIRST EVER VISIT TO SANTA BARBARA, CA

LEGENDARY GROUP TO PERFORM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6


THE WHO have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964; they brought together four different personalities and in effect produced a musical hurricane. Each of them was a pioneer. Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the center with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl. Deep into their 50th year, the band is still going strong, winning rave reviews.

Don’t miss your chance to see the first ever performance by The Who with special guest Tal Wilkenfeld at the Santa Barbara Bowl
