This month, Aaron Bowen, Angel René Wilson, and Francis Blume will share original music performed in a Nashville-style round hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley. A full-time honors English major and law student at San Diego Mesa College, Angel René Wilson balances rigorous academics with his roles as a performer, writer, and founder of MARTYR, a local music and arts production company. He is currently working on his debut album, a book, and a short film, all set for release in 2025, while planning to transfer to UCLA in the fall. Aaron Bowen, a Southern California native, blends acoustic jazz and folk with a European flair, evoking Django Reinhardt and Paul Simon.
