On Friday, September 27, join us at the charming Normal Heights United Church for a spectacular evening of original music in the round featuring Shua, We the Commas, and Lauren Ong. Hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley. ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Lauren Ong blends genres with poetic lyrics and intricate arrangements, using music as a tool for self-discovery and connection. Trained as a harpist from age 6, she found her voice in songwriting to express emotions and tell stories beyond words. Her debut garnered over 500,000 Spotify streams, and her first album, "hillcrest," released in July 2023, opened doors to performances worldwide. After making her mark in the Singapore music scene, she is now based in San Diego, where she’s actively engaging with the local creative scene, including shows with Sofar Sounds. We The Commas is an emerging band from Southern California, made up of three brothers: Lenny, Jordy, and Cam. Growing up in a music-loving household in Carlsbad, the brothers naturally gravitated toward harmonies and instruments, shaping their unique alt-surf R&B sound. Inspired by legends like Bob Marley, John Mayer, and The Beach Boys, they blend beach culture with soulful melodies, bringing a fresh perspective to their hometown's vibe. Boasting collaborations with top producers like Rex Kudo and Charlie Handsome, We the Commas is poised to make waves in the music scene. Shua is a Southern California artist creating songs that explore heartbreak, hope, and the human experience. As a husband, father, and a follower of Jesus, he makes "companions to the soul" for those navigating loneliness. Music and art helped him find his way through life's fog, and he now creates to offer that same comfort to others.
