What is it about Big Sur that holds the secrets to the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ longevity?
Musicians Flea and Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers perform onstage during day 3 of the 2013 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Longtime visitors and residents of Big Sur, the group has spent time relaxing, performing and being a part of the community in the small Central Coast community.In other cities, it’s not every day a rock star is at the local library, but in Big Sur, it happens more often than not.
The lineup was notable that day: Josh Klinghoffer had replaced John Frusciante on guitar, and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco was behind the drum kit instead of the Chili Peppers’ usual tempo keeper Chad Smith.

The foursome even rolled out five tracks from their reunion album with producer Rick Rubin, “I’m With You,” along with some of the band’s standards, and encoring with the chaotic ’90s bop “SPIN magazine later reported that a “shirtless, blue-haired Flea joked at the beginning of the set: ‘Anybody who knows where I live, now’s a good time to rob me. Because, you know, I’m here.’”

Toren casually mentioned in a chat that several of the band members had a sort of compound, a creative respite, a getaway — a place to surf, recharge and be left to it. And that tradition is one other big acts have picked up on as well, one library spokesperson said.
