Live Oak, as it has become affectionately known, is more than just a music festival — it is an experience rooted in music and community. These two elements together create a three-day journey into a timeless place that is far removed from work and schedules. The festival features an aural collage of live music ranging from traditional, folk, bluegrass and gospel, to blues, jazz, classical and world music.
KCBX Public Radio was founded in 1975 and is a listener supported, non-profit organization, serving the County of San Luis Obispo with interests in classical music, jazz, alternative musical arts, and public affairs programs. KCBX also encourages an interest in and appreciation of fine arts and issue oriented news for the people of our community.
