The Acoustic Evenings series at the Athenaeum showcases some of the finest acoustic musicians in San Diego. Three acts fill each program and attentive audiences delight in the intimacy of the unplugged storytelling format. Refreshments are available at the intermission reception and post-concert meet-and-greet. San Diego Music Hall of Fame founder Jefferson Jay curates and hosts the concert series. The project advances the Athenaeum’s commitment to support diverse San Diego talent. Acoustic Evenings is an unforgettable and personal experience for San Diego music lovers.
On Friday, April 29, sit back and listen to singer-songwriter Lisa Sanders, who was signed in 1998 by MCA Records and whose debut album Isn’t Life Fine was produced by Steve Poltz; violinist Yale Strom (with bassist Jeff Pekarek), a klezmer performer, who, in addition to recording 15 CDs of klezmer music, one of which (Shimmering Lights—X SH6.45) is in the Athenaeum circulating collection, is a documentary filmmaker and ethnographer; and singer-songwriter Sutton James, whose most recent efforts within the indie-folk/alt-country genres belie the spirit of rock ’n’ roll that will always be alive and well in his songwriting.
The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. These events will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of each concert.
