We began simply enough: a tracklist scrawled on the back of a receipt at a restaurant in New York City for our first album. But the journey from receipt to reality was anything but simple.

unCLASSIFIED is kicking off an epic summer road trip across the US! We want to introduce you to some of the best cities, music, food, and people around! We packed up the van and headed west. 2 hours and 100 miles west up the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH in local speak) lies Santa Barbara; the “Riviera of the West,” as they call it. With pristine, white sand beaches, vineyards, and quality shopping & dining, Santa Barbara is sure to have something for everyone. A perfect day trip from LA, we think it bears investigation! Technically a resident of Houston, Texas, clarinetist Richie Hawley is a Santa Barbara native.
