Local musical group The Doublewide Kings and Friends will play a benefit concert for the Marjorie Luke Theatre, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Marjorie Luke, 721 E. Cota St., Santa Barbara.
The concert will celebrate the music of Neil Young.
The Doublewide Kings group, which just played a sold-out show called ‘Next Waltz’ with the Santa Barbara Symphony, is known for its unique take on big names in classic rock.
The Kings played five sold-out tribute shows at the Lobero and Granada theaters, which started with their Neil Young show in 2018, followed by Crosby, Stills & Nash in 2019, The Allman Brothers in 2021, Van Morrison (with the Santa Barbara Symphony) in 2023 and The Band (also with the Santa Barbara Symphony) in 2024.
The Kings are returning to their roots by celebrating the music of Neil Young again in 2025, this time with the help of some special guests.
Opening for the Kings will be Santa Barbara favorite Johnny Irion’s U.S. Elevator. Sitting in with The Kings will be local guitar star Jackson Gillies, Phil Salazar on fiddle, and Marc McKennon on Dobro.
