This event has been cancelled - and may be rescheduled Gráinne Hunt is an extraordinary performer with a captivating voice, who enchants audiences with her heart-melting vocals. She has shared stages with renowned musicians like Glen Hansard and U2, and has opened for Mary Black, Declan O’Rourke, Eagle Eye Cherry, and Kane Brown. Notably, she had the honor of opening for Gladys Knight in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre over four nights, and performed at the Cambridge Folk Festival in the United Kingdom. Gráinne’s powerful voice blends huskiness with vulnerability, making her a standout among Ireland’s female vocalists and songwriters. Comparisons have been drawn to Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, and Dolores O’Riordan. Her albums Firing Pin (2015) and This Secret (2019) delve into personal experiences, evoking pain, longing, and the complexities of relationships. Jules Stewart, stalwart drummer of the San Diego indie music scene, and Amy Day, half of the Spiritual Motels, will join Gráinne, reprising their collaboration at this year’s Folk Alliance showcase. Stucky Leigh, a cool new San Diego collaboration with Will Stucky and Lauren Leigh, will open the evening. www.grainnehunt.com www.stuckyleigh.bandcamp.com Grainne Hunt on Instagram and Facebook

Walk with Us to Cure Lupus is the Lupus Research Alliance’s signature national fundraising program devoted to finding a cure for lupus. All are welcome. No limits. No tickets required. Registration is recommended. This event will include inspiring speakers, light grab & go refreshments during the walk, a t-shirt contest, and a variety of activity booths. Free to participate in this event, but donations are appreciated. 100% of all donations go directly to lupus research programs. Lupus is a chronic and complex autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. More than 90 percent of people with lupus are women, and lupus disproportionately affects women of color. In lupus, the immune system, which is designed to protect against infection, creates antibodies that can attack any part of the body including the kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, blood, skin, and joints. Registration opens at 9 a.m. PDT / Start time: 10 a.m. PDT For more information on the event visit https://give.lupusresearch.org/event/2024-san-diego-walk-with-us-to-cure-lupus/e587905 Contact Joanne Golombos at 732-610-2267 or jgolombos@lupusresearch.org Lupus Research Alliance on Instagram and Facebook

This lecture dives into the complex identities of Mexicans, exploring the terms Hispanic, Latino, Chicano, and Native with Grace Sesma. We will reflect on the profound impacts of colonization, including the loss of culture, tribal identity, land, and community. Through historical narratives and personal stories, we will examine how these identities have evolved, and the struggles faced in maintaining cultural heritage. We will highlight the resilience of the communities in reclaiming traditions, language, and land, and discuss the significance of self-identification and the ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate the culture.
