It will be a pleasure to play music again at ROY… one of our favorite spots in Santa Barbara. ROY has been a big supporter of independent music in SB, and the venue was the nexus of a vibrant Santa Barbara Music scene for many years. Claude Hopper will be hosting an acoustic singer/songwriter night with special out-of-town talent joining the show. Dave Gleason will be coming up from Ventura after playing a bevy of shows in LA, Joshua Tree and other SOCAL locals. Dave has just released a glorious new CD that is getting rave reviews. He will showcase his fine songwriting and guitar playing skills. Texas songwriter David Martinez will be coming in Corpus Christi–via LA, where he will be playing at the Viper Room and gearing up for new recording projects.

About Claude Hopper

“Central to Claude Hopper's rustic take on roots music is singer -songwriter David Cowan. Having played with a number of different bands across the years, it was when Cowan wanted to place the focus on his own material and project it through the author's voice that Claude Hopper came into being. The moniker might offer a little ambiguity as to exactly who is behind the music, but it perfectly encapsulates Cowan and Co's rough-edge sound. And, while the influences upon the Claude Hopper sound are varied and many, they all echo the finest traditions of American songwriting.”

– Brett Leigh Dicks, MUSIC! - The Sounds of Santa Barbara

About Dave Gleason

“Since his 2007 relocation from San Francisco to Southern California, Dave Gleason has assumed nearly-instantaneous Most Valuable Player status on the Los Angeles country music scene. With three strong albums already to his credit, Dave has proven himself in every category, as a strong singer, a solid, tradition-savvy songwriter, and a guitarist of nearly unsurpassable gifts. Add to this his winning and humble personality, his profound knowledge and understanding of music, and his immense capacity for work at any time of the day or night, and you have an invaluable, one-of-a-kind player. No bout a-doubt it: Dave Gleason's a champ.”

--Chris Morris, host, "Watusi Rodeo," Indie 103.1/Los Angeles
