Jeff Bridges is coming to Central Coast wine country — for 2 intimate concerts

The Dude abides — and sometimes he strums a guitar.

Oscar winner Jeff Bridges is coming to the Central Coast this summer for a pair of intimate concerts.

The “Big Lewbowski” star will take the stage Aug. 16 at Presqu’ile Winery in Santa Maria, then head north for an Aug. 17 concert at Austin Hope & Treana Tasting Cellar in Paso Robles.

He’ll be joined at both outdoor shows by San Luis Obispo singer-songwriter Derek Senn.

Bridges, who earned an Academy Award for his role as a down-and-out country star in “Crazy Heart,” is no stranger to the Central Coast. He recently put his Montecito home on the market for nearly $8 million.

Bridges and his band, The Abiders, played SLO Brew in San Luis Obispo in 2012 and 2014 and performed at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo in 2015.
