Back-to-Back Benefit Concerts at Alcazar Theatre in Carpinteria

CARPINTERIA, Calif. – The Alcazar Theatre is hosting a "Santa Barbara for Los Angeles" weekend with back-to-back benefit concerts.

A fundraiser for the Altadena music community will take place Saturday night.

On Sunday, the Carpinteria Dead Family will present the band Ladyfinger from 4:20 to 7 p.m. The performance will benefit the Pasadena Humane Society.

"Giving back is always part of our philosophy. It started with our local Dead Nights that we do monthly, and naturally, when this opportunity came up for us to participate in the Santa Barbara for L.A. weekend, it was an immediate yes for all of us," said Jon-Paul Harrison of Carpinteria Dead Family.

Ladyfinger's ukulele player, Trey Murphy, echoed that sentiment.

"We are all musicians and animal lovers, so playing a benefit show for the Pasadena Humane Society was a great fit for us," Murphy said.

The historic Alcazar Theatre has been refurbished and now features an RV that has been converted into a green room for musicians.
