Rachael & Vilray live in Santa Barbara

Experience Rachael & Vilray live on November 20th

Rachael & Vilray are scheduled to perform at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara, California on November 20, 2026. The duo crafts music rooted in mid-20th century American songbook traditions, often described as a blend of jazz, country, and Tin Pan Alley pop. Their arrangements feature close vocal harmonies and instrumentation reminiscent of classic vocal groups and early jazz ensembles. They frequently draw inspiration from lesser-known songwriters and arrangements of the 1920s through 1960s, presenting a nostalgic yet fresh sound.

The Lobero Theatre, located on State Street in Santa Barbara, opened in 1873 as a venue for various performances including operas, vaudeville shows, and lectures. Originally named the Lobero Hall after its benefactor José Lobero, it has undergone several renovations throughout its history. A significant restoration completed in 1922 gave the theatre its current Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. It’s recognized as a significant landmark within Santa Barbara’s cultural landscape and continues to host a diverse range of events including concerts, dance performances, film screenings and theatrical productions.
