Music & Concerts
Deep End Sessions
For over a decade as a house concert series on a 120 year old ranch outside of Santa Paula, Deep End Sessions hosted over 60 live music concerts. Our music genre is Roots Music from different regions of North America. We’ve featured Southern Old-time, Bluegrass, Early Country, Honkey Tonk, Cajun, Creole, Swamp Pop, Folk, Tex Mex, and Mexican music. Often the music comes with a good dose of storytelling offering a window into these rich traditions.
In 2026, we begin a new chapter of live music in partnership with the fabulous Hotel El Roblar, featuring the old world charm of Ojai, California, and the fabled Ojai valley. Hotel El Roblar, circa 1919, reopened this past July after several years of careful and inspired renovation. Hotel El Roblar shares many of the beautiful period features of the fabled Deep End Ranch farmhouse, circa 1908, where Deep End Sessions developed. The Hotel’s early California architecture, dark wood, warm period lighting, generous though intimate spaces, is the dream pad for the next decade of live music happenings.
We are thrilled to launch a new season with John Reischman & The Jaybirds. Hailing from the Pacific coastal region - everywhere from southern California to Chilliwack, British Columbia, we are honored to feature one of the best mandolin players on the planet and his incredible 5 piece bluegrass band (also featuring LA’s own hometown boy on guitar, Patrick Sauber! ). Prior to this performance at Deep End Sessions, Hotel El Roblar, John and the Jaybirds performed twice for us at Deep End Sessions, Santa Paula. Their unforgettable shows were filmed and may be found on our YouTubechannel: https://youtu.be/5RcFpTgYlWE?si=X0z_jKxmkwXMXqRc
