Join us Friday, October 27 for Songwriter Sanctuary, an evening of music that celebrates the art of songwriting. Hosted by Jeff Berkley in partnership with Normal Heights United Church, Songwriter Sanctuary is a (mostly) monthly series featuring three local acts performing in-the-round in a dazzling historic sanctuary space. This month’s featured artists include Americana duo Shhhh (featuring Rheanna Downey and Molly Jenson), self-proclaimed “sad girl country” artist Lady July, and Cathryn Beeks & Nisha Catron of the band Calamity. About the Artists: Shhhhh (Folk/Americana): Shhhhh is a Southern California-based Americana/Folk duo made up of Rheanna Downey and Molly Jenson, both with 20 years of solo artist experience behind them. These two women write heartfelt songs in the style of old country and new folk with a twist of 90’s female singer-songwriter. The two have come together to form a supergroup that is sure to rattle at least a few cages. Shhhhh represents women in music especially in the second half of life. They stand for women supporting women, the dissolution of competition in the music industry, and the idea that there is room enough for everyone. It only takes listening to a song or going to a show to understand the importance of what these two are putting out into the world. Shhhhh may be in their infancy but they sure as shhhhhit aren’t a high school garage band. Lady July (Sad Girl Country): Hailing from San Diego, Calif., Lady July is a singer-songwriter whose main goal is to get everyone all up in their feels. Growing up on the farms and ranches of East County, Lady July was surrounded by music of all types growing up and first started performing her own original compositions when she was 15 years old. Since then she’s performed all over Southern California, at local stages, festivals and more. Her songs are emotive and raw, with her lyrics turning personal heartbreak, triumphs and stories into a universally understood feeling that tug at the hearts and souls of all who listen. Currently, Lady July is gearing up to release a handful of singles, culminating in her very first EP. To stay up to date on release dates, upcoming shows and tour information, be sure to follow Lady July on Instagram at @ladyjulymusic. Cathryn Beeks & Nisha Catron (Folk/Americana): Multi-hyphenate award-winning artists and two of the founding members of Folk/Americana band Calamity, Cathryn Beeks and Nisha Catron will present an intimate duo set featuring an array of tunes from their individual and collective bodies of work, all tied together with buttery harmonies and tender, loving care.
