Glen Phillips live in Santa Barbara

Experience Glen Phillips live on October 6th

Glen Phillips will be performing at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara, California on October 6, 2026. Phillips is best known as the lead singer and songwriter for the alternative folk-rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket, achieving prominence in the 1990s with hits like “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean.” His solo work expands upon this foundation, incorporating elements of indie folk, Americana, and introspective songwriting. Expect a performance centered around acoustic instrumentation and lyrical depth, often characterized by thoughtful narratives and melodic complexity. He frequently tours solo, performing both original material and reimagined versions of Toad the Wet Sprocket songs.

The Lobero Theatre itself has a rich history within Santa Barbara’s cultural landscape. Originally opened in 1873 as a social hall, it transitioned into a performance venue shortly after. The current building, a Spanish Colonial Revival style structure designed by George Washington Smith, was completed in 1924 following a fire that destroyed the original. Throughout its existence, the Lobero has hosted a diverse array of performances including vaudeville acts, film screenings, and musical concerts.
