Performer Bio's

The Legendary Chicago Six
Has been swinging away since it began in 1981. During the last 30 years, the band has performed primarily in jazz festivals throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, and in South America. The Chicago Six has recorded and produced 25 distinctive albums. Among these, tribute albums were dedicated to the music of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and jazz composer Dick Cary.

Eve Selis
Isn’t just a “singer” — she’s an emotion transducer who converts country, R&B, blues, folk, and rock ’n’ roll signals into a megawatt zap that galvanizes everyone in its path. And as with fellow femme-furnace frontwomen Bonnie Raitt, Joan Osborne, Maria McKee, Melissa Etheridge, and Lydia Pense, the cauterizing power of Selis’s voice can arc-weld material from almost any genre into a personal manifesto.

Mariachi Juvenil de San Diego
Is a non-profit organization that focuses on the importance of music education while providing a positive outlet for today’s youth. The organization was founded by Serafin Paredes in 2001, and is the first non-profit mariachi organization in the San Diego Area. Our mission is to encourage students to attend a University and pursue a career. It focuses on awarding college scholarships to each year's high school graduating class.

Mó Wasabi
Is a classic 60's beach party band out of North San Diego. Specializing in top Billboard hits from the early 60's and surf instrumentals, Mó Wasabi is a talented group of entertainers with years of combined experience and an unyielding love for music, Mó Wasabi is a group that makes the audience smile and dance, and other musicians want to join!

Navy Band Southwest Brass Quintet
The Brass Quintet’s musical repertoire includes ceremonial and chamber music, children’s favorites, as well as popular songs from the past and present. The group enjoys performing songs from popular Broadway musicals such as "West Side Story," as well as adding a bit of comical choreography to lighten up their show. Navy Band Southwest is one of the Navy’s finest and oldest continuing musical organizations. Now with over 80 years of support to the San Diego community.

Pint & Dale
Rank among North America's most exciting and acclaimed nautical performers. William Pint & Felicia Dale raise the humble sea chantey - the music of the sea to unexpected heights! Their music fits into the world of modern folk, rock and popular song, but it's rich with myth, narrative, rhythm & rhyme from the days of the traditional work songs sung aboard the tall ships to organize the labor of the crew. Be it with guitar, flute, or hurdy-gurdy, they have played on both sides of the pond.

Ronstadt Generations
Represents the multi-cultural roots America was founded upon. Dating back five generations in North America, Michael J. Ronstadt, younger brother of Linda Ronstadt, continues the family tradition with his sons, Michael G. and Petie. Enjoy music passed down through the generations as well as new compositions. Michael has been on stage with Los Lobos, Mariachi Cobre, The Gatlin Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, and the Dixie Hummingbirds.

The San Diego Shakespeare Society
Is dedicated to promoting the works of William Shakespeare in San Diego. Students from K-12 representing San Diego City and County schools, perform 10-minute scenes, sonnets, music, and/or dance from Shakespeare's plays. Truly a sight to behold and to enjoy.

The Sun Harbor Chorus
Established in 1946, is the San Diego's Oldest Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Performing four-part a cappella harmony in the Barbershop style. The Chorus has performed throughout the United States and Internationally. However, we are particularly focused on entertaining within the San Diego community.
