From Appalachia to Laurel Canyon — the many voices of American music. "Americana" is a celebration of American music and the artists who shaped it. As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, this program reflects on the musical traditions that continue to define and connect us. Moving from gospel and spiritual traditions to bluegrass, folk, and the iconic singer-songwriters of the 20th century, this concert honors the roots of American music and the communities that carried these songs forward. You’ll hear the power of the Black church tradition in works by Moses Hogan and Roland Carter. The storytelling spirit of Bob Dylan. The intimate lyricism of Dolly Parton, Tom Petty, and James Taylor. The timeless poetry of Robert Frost. And the front-porch harmonies of traditional folk songs passed down the generations. Though these styles span regions and genres — from Appalachia to Laurel Canyon — they are deeply connected. Each grew from communities seeking expression, resilience, hope, and belonging. "Americana" reminds us that our musical heritage is layered and diverse — and that when we sing across traditions, we discover what unites us.

Held in OTC's Studio 219 (219 North Coast Highway), this is a space for all creatively-inclined people—artists, musicians, writers, and more—to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together. It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night—but it has elements of all of these. All are welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If you’d prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too. Visit: 'Resonance' Collaborative Open Mic Oceanside Theater Company on Instagram and Facebook

For the third year running, Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe-winning composer Michael Giacchino returns to host an intimate conversation with one of Hollywood’s most beloved filmmakers. Brad Bird is a two-time Academy Award winner whose films—"The Iron Giant," "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol," "Incredibles 2"—have a way of sneaking up on you emotionally no matter how many times you’ve seen them. Giacchino’s scores are inseparable from the worlds Bird creates; if you’ve felt your heart lift during the opening of "The Incredibles "or found yourself unexpectedly moved by a rat making soup in Paris, that’s Michael’s music doing its quiet, powerful work. Together, they trace the arc of a filmmaking life that began with a handmade short sent to Disney at age fourteen and has never stopped reaching for something extraordinary—and along the way, share stories from over two decades of creative partnership that you won’t have heard anywhere else. Funny, candid, and deeply felt, this is an evening for anyone who has ever loved a movie. ArtPower at UC San Diego on Facebook / Instagram
