American Songwriter Magazine generously described his music as “... brilliant songwriting, evoking that gentle, poignant place John Prine brought us to so often, merging the sorrow with some laughter...”, and his recently recorded song “Someone Can Fly” earned him an Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting Award at the 19th Annual Great American Song Contest. Born and raised in San Diego, Lauren Leigh is a professional vocalist and award-winning songwriter known for her unique and versatile voice and powerhouse soul. Lauren has been recognized with five nominations for the San Diego Music Awards and won Best Pop Song in 2022 for her original song “Trust Fall”. She recently paired with Will Stucky, a relative newcomer to San Diego to form the duo Stucky Leigh. Will’s musical background includes a music composition degree in Oklahoma. Now residing in California, he has continued to view music as the main source for experiencing joy, expressing grief, & connecting with good people. London born international performing songwriter Gregory Page spent much of his adult life as a working musician, writing, performing, and traveling the world with his catalog of songs that highlight his unique perspective on life. Page’s music has been featured on BBC, NPR, and film and television soundtracks. Page has also worked with an extensive list of amazing artists, most recently writing and touring with Jason Mraz, but also sharing the stage with other likeminded legends including John Prine, Bob Dylan, John Doe, Jewel, and John C.
