The Garden Concert Series takes place in a picturesque setting in the hills above Soquel. It features world-acclaimed acoustic acts, coupled with wine tasting and hors devours provided by Seascape Foods — our favorite local gourmet market and deli. Currently in its fifth season, the Garden Concert Series is an outdoor, ticketed concert series that runs April through August — featuring one event per month.
The goal of The Series is to create unique, memorable events where family and friends can come together to a world-class experience in an impeccable outdoor environment, which makes for a refreshing alternative to traditional entertainment options.
The White Album Ensemble consistently attracts sold out crowds for their live recreations of classic Beatles albums. Not a look alike group, they are a group of seasoned professionals who share a deep love and respect for the music of the most popular group in history. Instead of featuring any one album, they select the most appropriate acoustic-based songs from the time period of 1966–1970, the period when the Beatles had stopped touring, saying the music they were making “couldn't be performed live.” Replicating the Fab Four's many overdubbed parts on the records requires eight top Santa Cruz and Monterey, California-based musicians and vocalists. The compositions are challenging and intricate, but the Ensemble effortlessly blends familiar melodies with well-crafted instrumentation.
