The series continues Friday, September 20, with Tom Griesgraber, Billy Galewood, and Steve Bulman. Billy Galewood is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper from Cleveland who ended up in California, where he continued to hone his eclectic acoustic/hip-hop sound. His shows blend hip-hop, acoustic rock, funk, improvisation, and comedy.
Multi-instrumentalist-composer Tom Griesgraber is known for many roles, including behind the scenes, in the music industry, but the Berklee College of Music graduate is best known onstage for his mastery of the unusual Chapman Stick. The relatively narrow instrument produces music that to the uninitiated listener sounds like an ensemble. Those who have seen Griesgraber perform live, however, know that the sonorous music produced comes from the magic of a unique virtuoso.
A seasoned guitar player of 30 years, Stephen Bulman specializes in percussive fingerstyle music. Known for his distinctive use of harmonics and pitch bending, his tranquil compositions create a soothing auditory experience.
Athenaeum Music & Arts Library
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, located in the heart of La Jolla, Calif., in San Diego County, is one of only 16 nonprofit membership libraries in the United States. This rare cultural institution, an important one to the greater San Diego area, offers a depth and accessibility of resources and programs found nowhere else in the region. The library, devoted exclusively to music and art, has an outstanding and ever-expanding collection of books, periodicals, reference material, compact discs, videocassettes, DVDs, sheet music and librettos, as well as one of the most significant collections of artists' books in Southern California. The library is open to the public five days a week and members can check out materials for a modest annual fee. The Athenaeum also presents an eclectic, year-round schedule of art exhibitions, concerts (classical, jazz and new music), lectures, studio art classes through its School of the Arts, tours and special events.

Books may be checked out for four weeks and all CDs, videos and DVDs for two weeks. Materials may be reserved in advance.
