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.

County Chairwoman Nora Vargas is encouraging San Diegans who want to help people and families impacted by last week’s devastating storms to participate in a “Day of Service” Wednesday, Jan. 31. Nine separate community groups are joining with County representatives at three locations to collect much-needed donations. The public can help in a few ways: They can sign up to help in person to collect and sort donations and put together kits to distribute to flood survivors. They can drop off donations to help people and families recovering from the rains and floods―items ranging from rain boots, towels, and plastic storage bins to laundry detergent, bottled water, diapers and pet food. All donated items should be new and unused. See the full list of needed items below. In addition to the Day of Service people can also support rain and flood victims by making financial donations to the flood response fund that County and San Diego Foundation created. The foundation will match donations up to $100,000. The community groups working with the County include Pillars of the Community; the Jackie Robinson YMCA; The Positive Movement Foundation; the Hip Hop Health and Wellness 5K and Festival; the Harvey Family Foundation; the Urban Collaborative Project; the Emo Brown Foundation; the Sherman Heights Community Center; and Exhaling Justice.
