Music no Matter Your Age

Experience the Joy of Music no Matter Your Age

The joy of music comes to life with Santa Barbara’s Prime Time Band, a vibrant ensemble of more than sixty local amateur musicians performing at free concerts, parades and events throughout the community.

Dedicated to creating opportunities for music-making for players of all experience levels, the band is comprised of adults from age 40 to 90, many of whom hadn’t played an instrument since high school or learned to play during their retirement or semi-retirement.

Whether you want to experience the fun of creating live music, rekindle an interest in playing or simply enjoy a performance, Prime Time Band has something for you!
