Spencer The Gardener
If you were to ask someone what Spencer The Gardener sounds like, the simplest answer would be, “Santa Barbara.“ STG is woven into the fabric of Santa Barbara and his music is a celebration of latin infused dance, punk, new wave, and rock. Young and old can find their groove and we are so happy to have him with us.

Postfontaine
The Hotel is happy to invite long-time guest Postfontaine to our roster. Emile Millar, Thom Flowers, Mick Flowers, Tim Cullen, and Ben Pringle brought a blend of raw melodic alternative rock, folk, and country to the LA and Santa Barbara area in the early 2000's. This band pumped out timeless songs and was romanced by every major label in the industry. After a year of broken deals and constant showcases, the band hung up their race bibs to focus on different projects. Digitally released 18 years later, when singer Emile Millar discovered their EP in an old box of tapes, Precious Time is now available on iTunes and Streaming sites. See their hypnotic video for the song Joy here: https://youtu.be/9uiRIIu0XoA
