Launched in 2021, Santa Barbara Records is a small, independent record label that was founded for the purpose of developing, curating and promoting regional singer/ songwriters, primarily in the Folk music genre. Our strategy is threefold — exporting the Central Coast’s folk musicians to a global audience via recorded music; providing resources, strategic support and informational content to  those regional artists; and promoting merchandise from local makers that support our mission. Our vision is to build a platform that helps deliver professional sustainability for artists, positively impacts the local creative economy and helps lead Santa Barbara's recognition as a music destination.
