Lionfish San Diego’s James Beard Smart Catch Leader JoJo Ruiz is teaming up with WILDCOAST — an international non-profit started right here in San Diego whose mission is to conserve coastal and marine ecosystems — to bring together the worlds of sustainability and seafood for a culinary experience rooted in conservation in honor of World Oceans Day. With a four-course prix-fixe menu sourced from local purveyors, guests will have the chance to indulge in dishes that speak to the future of sustainable seafood. Think: "no-kill" caviar, line-caught tuna, Baja oysters and Santa Barbara black cod. Founder of PureFish, Shahin Mobine, will be joining the feast to discuss the importance of sourcing sustainable seafood, in conjunction with WILDCOAST co-founder and Executive Director, Serge Dedina, Ph.D., who will be speaking about WILDCOAST's conservation efforts. 20% of ticket sales will be donated directly to WILDCOAST's ocean conservation programs.

Aussie trio Chase Atlantic is coming to San Diego for their brand new Cold Nights Tour! Confidence crystallizes over time. A diligent and dedicated grind continues to propel Chase Atlantic forward. Formed in 2011, the Australia-born and Los Angeles-based trio—Mitchel Cave, Clinton Cave, and Christian Anthony—have quietly carved out their own corner of popular music. Representing the missing link between anesthetized woozy trap, nocturnal R&B, and psychedelically-spun alternative, the boys blur boundaries between genres through fearless experimentation and innate melodic inclinations. Amassing over 200 million streams and receiving acclaim from Billboard, OnesToWatch, mxdwn, PopCrush, Alternative Press, Substream Magazine, and Rock Sound of which they graced the cover, they boldly push forward again on their forthcoming debut for Fearless Records. See them live at Soma on Friday, August 19 at 8:00p.m.

Ancient feuds. Misty moors. Highland spirits. Bagpipes. Fiddles. Magic. Scottish legends have all that and more with a special storytelling show to kick off the annual San Diego Highland Games. Enjoy live storytelling as some of San Diego’s most acclaimed storytellers take the stage to recount tales from this ancient and storied land. Back by popular demand -- James Nelson-Lucas, Aunt Li-Anne, Mindy Donner, and Marilyn McPhie will entertain with traditional tales and legends from the highlands and isles of Scotland. New to this stage is Lissette Ryan, who couples her tales with tunes on her harp. Also joining in the evening’s entertainment is another well-loved favorite – Rachel Amov, the Gypsy Fiddler, weaving her music around (and sometimes through) the stories. Organizer Marilyn McPhie says, "I fell once again under the spell of Scotland's stories on a visit to this ancient land. These tales will fill listeners with wonder, delight – and perhaps a few shivers. No one is ever too young or too old for a good story." Marilyn McPhie and Aunt Li-Anne will also be sharing stories at the games on Saturday and Sunday at 11:00 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. in the children's area. The storytelling show will be held on the Beer Garden stage at the Highland Games venue, Brengle Terrace Park, 1200 Vale Terrace Drive, Vista, CA. 6/24 event is designed for ages 12 and up. Tickets available at Eventbrite or at the door. $20 for adults; under 12, free. More information: 858-337-0990 or www.storytellersofsandiego.org

The Roustabouts Theatre Co. presents Rona Munro’s "IRON," a deeply moving psychological drama. Convicted for life for a brutal murder, Fay has served 15 years of her sentence without a single visitor when her daughter Josie suddenly turns up to visit. Raised by her grandmother, Josie has no memory of the incident that led to her mother’s imprisonment, and has come to uncover the past – a past Fay wishes to forget. Transfixing and disturbing in equal measure, "IRON" focuses on fractured family, criminal justice, and the mother/daughter bond, and will be performed by real-life mother/daughter team Rosina Reynolds and Kate Rose Reynolds.
