Santa Cruz Music History Film All Access

00:00 /

An “all access pass” in the music world means backstage and access to musicians and their friends. That’s the front-row seat that filmmaker Michele Benson had as a music journalist for decades in the Santa Cruz and San Francisco Bay Area during the heyday of many seminal bands. She has gathered an archive of over 200 interviews and archival materials for her upcoming film, All Access. In this interview, we hear about the project and the bands, such as The Doobie Brothers, Camper Van Beethoven, and The Ducks who all had ties to and were inspired by the Santa Cruz music scene.
