Kuumbwa Jazz & Santa Cruz MAH Present: Santa Cruz Guitar Company – The First 50 Years
Presented in conjunction with Santa Cruz MAH’s upcoming exhibit, highlighting fifty years of Santa Cruz Guitar Company’s history and impact.
Founded in 1976 by Richard Hoover, the Santa Cruz Guitar Company brought boutique guitar making to the forefront of the steel string guitar business. In his unassuming Santa Cruz shop, Hoover and his team of dedicated guitar making craftspeople–luthiers–continue the powerful and melodic legacy committed to sustainability of materials. Each guitar is a love note to its eventual owner and this area, inspiring other musicians and luthiers.
Join Kuumbwa Jazz, Santa Cruz MAH, and Santa Cruz Guitar Company to celebrate the guitar makers’ legacy and continued influence, through an evening of music, memories, and community. Artists to be announced shortly!
