The Santa Barbara Bowl offers a personable merchandise experience on any given show night. The Redding Family Tour Artist Shop is operated completely by local volunteers who come in early (before each show) to count the inventory and keep working late to settle up with the touring artists. The merchandising process is an important income source for any touring band, and these volunteers are happy to help them attain part of their financial goal. This system also allows for show attendees to have an enjoyable experience purchasing their concert memorabilia from these high-energy, bubbly, music-loving volunteers.
The merchandise they vend ranges from a small selection of SB Bowl gear to a wide variety of anything the artist has personally branded. From Rebelution professional bottle openers to Bob Dylan rain ponchos and Gotye jigsaw puzzles to Los Tigres Del Norte stuffed tigers, this merch crew has seen it all!
