Tales from Tales from the Tavern -

A Five Year Multimedia Retrospective

Season tickets are available now.

All tickets will be held at Will Call.



It starts with a love for music,

An appreciation of words,

and passionate communication,

and creative expression,

and the experience

of having been inspired,

Of having felt the magic that sometimes

gets created in live performance,

In the place where artists and audience

come together.

It grows – out of and into

a sense of purpose,

To advocate on behalf of art, and spirit

and the inspirational quality,

and with that comes a pledge –

To place and re-place the emphasis on

Essence and content

And to create opportunities

and environments that are richly

rewarding.

Through the power of community,

and the energy of trust,

and a belief in the work and the vision

and with the strength of stamina,

and the force of fulfillment.

It continues to expand.

STEVE POLTZ

LIVE AT TALES FROM THE TAVERN -

This is a clip from the feature documentray film, "Steve Poltz Live at Tales from the Tavern." The song, "Sewing Machine," was written by Steve Poltz (words) and AJ Croce (music.) It was recorded live, Oct. 10, 2007 at Tales from the Tavern, at The Maverick Saloon in Santa Ynez. It illustrates how awesomely entertaining Poltz was on that night, and is on this DVD.

This footage was shot live at Tales from the Tavern, 10-10-07 by Henry Diltz, Gary Strobl and Rob Dafoe. It was edited by Rob Dafoe - with sound mixing by Terry Albrecht and Bob Helman, and live sound by Tyson Leonard. Graphics by Lively and Motch, and Rob Dafoe.

TALES FROM THE TAVERN RADIO

Works best with Internet Explorer 7.
If you receive an error message you may
need to allow pop-ups.

If it's your first time tuning in you'll probably have to push a few buttons to begin the broadcast, but it's worth it. The"Buy" button feature is not yet connected, so disregard that. We will be updating and changing the programming often so keep tuning in!

One of our favorite things about Tales from the Tavern are the Interviews we conduct with each of the artists following the concerts here in the Santa Ynez Valley and other locations near the central coast of California. For interesting excerpts from these interviews, check out our "He Said She Said" page. Like the radio program above, we will be updating this section often, so check back frequently to see what these artists had to say.
