UC Santa Cruz’s Quarry Amphitheater Gears Up for First Concert Since Extensive Renovation
UC Santa Cruz's Quarry Amphitheater welcomes Kevin Morby for its first concert since an extensive renovation.
On any given day, visitors to the University of California, Santa Cruz’s sprawling campus might stumble upon a grove of towering 150-foot-tall coastland redwood trees, a nesting white-tailed hawk, a handful of trailside yellow banana slugs or a full production concert attended by 2,800 music fans. The venue doesn’t have a PA system; tours bring their own sound or rely on third-party backline companies for amplification, which Reyes-Olivas points out is also the case at nearby Berkeley, Calif.’s Greek Theater and the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, Calif. Oakland company Ineffable manages a number of venues in Santa Cruz and coastal towns like Ventura and Monterey, while nearby Stanford University reopened its 8,000-capacity Frost Amphitheater in 2021.
