Pride season has arrived, and Songwriter Sanctuary San Diego is celebrating on Friday, June 26 with their annual LGBTQ+ Pride edition. For this year’s event, the monthly music series (recently recognized by San Diego Pride with the Spirit of Stonewall Larry T. Baza Arts and Culture award) presents a lineup of local acts from Raspberry Management, a queer-forward artist collective supporting some of the best rising talent in San Diego and beyond. This Nashville-style songwriter’s round will be guest-hosted by Raspberry artist and Songwriter Sanctuary board member Rachel Hall (aka Mariela), featuring stripped-down versions of original music from Saint Misty, The Dimes, and Daddy. Julian Forest will start off the evening at 6 p.m. with an unplugged busking set on the sidewalk stage to accompany Songwriter Sanctuary’s community care initiative called the “Pre Show Pantry Jam," which encourages attendees to arrive a little early with unopened/unexpired donations for the venue’s community fridge, pantry, and closet. Thanks to sponsorship from Ability Central, ASL services will be provided by Deaf Community Services of San Diego for music in the sanctuary. About the Artists Saint Misty is a synth-pop artist whose sticky-sweet hooks wrap around songs that reckon with identity and escape, tracing her journey from radical Christian cult to lesbian icon in the making. The Dimes are a 6-piece nonsense rock band known for their high-energy sets that swing from riot grrrl to queer yearning to absurdism. The Dimes are here to make you feel something. Anything! Daddy is the intoxicating and sparkly indie glitter rock project of vocalist/guitarist Brooke Patterson and bassist Jessica Muchnick—two high school acquaintances turned best friends. (Pantry Jam artist) Julian Forest is a songwriter, lyricist and musician who floats between genres with ease, telling stories laced with imagery and themes of empowerment.
