Want to travel to exotic places without leaving Santa Barbara? Every Friday evening at Zaytoon (209 E. Canon Perdido St.) guitar and violin duo Vincent & Vedant create a mesmerizing and unique gypsy sound on the restaurant’s lovely outdoor patio.

The combination of percussive flamenco guitar and classically trained, haunting violin music pairs beautifully with Zaytoon’s fresh and tasty Lebanese cuisine. The place is truly a hidden oasis right here in downtown Santa Barbara.

Locals Vincent Zorn & Vedant Koppera have been wowing audiences at local festivals, weddings, and parties for the past few years. In fact, just this week you can hear them at the Pugaritaville benefit for Central Coast Pug Rescue on July 19, as well as opening for Benise at the Granada Theatre on July 20.
