Not many people get to realize their early dreams. Dave Nachmanoff has toured the world, both on his own, and as the guitarist and opening act for Al Stewart (“Year of the Cat”, “Time Passages”), at venues as far ranging as the Royal Albert Hall in London, to The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. From performing with folk legend Elizabeth “Libba” Cotten at the age of nine, to playing in a rock band with his two brothers, Dave went on to earn a PhD in Philosophy at UC Davis and slowly built a grassroots following touring all over the world. In addition, he writes and records custom songs for clients and uses his recording studio to produce other artists. For this special show, he will be joined by Mike Lindauer on bass and vocals and Nick Carvajal on drums and vocals. Local musician, Omar Musisko, will be opening for Dave Nachmanoff. Two-time San Diego Music Award nominee (with The Peripherals and The Spiritual Motels) Omar Musisko crafts genre-bending, eclectic indie-folk music that weaves vulnerability and dark humor into poetic songs that search for beauty in the hurt.

A drive of over 100 antique cars from the San Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park, through North Park and Mission Hills and over to Point Loma where the cars will take two laps of the 1915 road race route, followed by a 2 hour car show in Liberty Station. Cars participating are from 1906 to 1942 and a variety of makes including Rolls Royce, Pierce Arrow, Packard, National, Chalmers Detroit, Buick, Ford, Austin and more.
