Teens Sing for Santa Barbara

Message from Kenny: I’m sure by now you’re aware of the incredible disasters Santa Barbara, Ventura and Montecito have endured over the past 3 months. Almost all Montecito residents know someone deeply impacted by either the fires or the devastating mudslide, which so far has taken 21 lives, with two still missing.
The shock and loss has been traumatizing for our whole community, and especially difficult for the youth. When they asked if they could help in some way, the parents and authorities insisted they just stay away from the toxic cleanup efforts, that there’s nothing they can do. But rather than accept that answer, they decided to channel their shock, anger and grief into creativity.
A small group of talented teenagers led by Kiara Lin, Tali Ratcliffe and Jackson Gillies have organized a
benefit concert for the mudslide victims they’re calling
Teens Sing for Santa Barbara. These are some of the most talented kids in SB, and it’s a joy working with them. They’re fiercely dedicated to proving they too can make a difference, and they’re on fire, believing that if they can dream it, they can make it happen
