For the last few years, Santa Barbara-based singer/songwriter Will Breman has made a name for himself as a prominent Central Coast music staple. 2019 started with his release of his debut Santa Barbara Soul Music EP, and culminated with his performing as a semifinalist on Season 17 of NBC’s The Voice. Breman’s style is as eclectic as his background. His musical upbringing began with voice lessons from his mother and teaching himself guitar. Since then, Will has tried everything from screaming in metal bands to serenading at coffee shops and touring across the nation. Will’s live performance has evolved over the years, and he currently uses a technique called “live looping” - a process where he records and plays back multiple instrument parts in real time, creating a “one man band” ‘effect. As a songwriter, Will’s goal has consistently been to channel deep emotions that cannot be expressed through any other medium. He has taught himself multiple instruments to achieve this, and aspires to create songs that bear his soul and tell engaging stories.

The SLOpickers are a 4-piece bluegrass string band based out of San Luis Obispo, CA. They perform a grassy array of repertoire ranging from traditional tried-and-true bluegrass standards to more contemporary original compositions. Founding members, Joel Demir (guitar) and Justin Martinez (mandolin) got their start on the scene by booking private events as an instrumental bluegrass duo and eventually grew to add banjo (Scott Conroy), upright bass (Scott Morris), and three-part vocal harmonies. The band’s original works hint at the founders’ classical training background while keeping that foot-tapping bluegrass feel. At their shows, the SLOpickers carry on the bluegrass tradition of performing around a single microphone, which makes for an entertaining “stage dance” harkening back to classic bluegrass performances at the grand ole opry in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
