BOHEMIA AT THE BEACH

Words and Photos by James O’Mahoney

Featured frontman, C.R. Stecyk III, whipped out one of his Clapton-esque riffs  at the Stalefish Cabaret and got the crowd on their toes for the first annual “Bohemia at the Beach” festival in Santa Barbara, CA, June 22, 2013.

This annual event follows the Summer Solstice parade, here in the “Funk Zone,” Santa Barbara’s last piece of Bohemia. Some 70,000 onlookers enjoyed the largest Solstice celebration in the United States. Mr. Stecyk also served as presenter of the first Miss Hula Santa Barbara award, won by Angelita Eller.
