We discuss the latest results from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors special election, as two South Bay mayors head to a July runoff. Then, we hear about the latest efforts at the state capital to reform California’s landmark environmental review law with the goal of boosting housing production.

The 2025 Tiny Desk Concert winner has been crowned, and San Diego had its own share of standout entries. We caught up with two of our local favorites — Aleah Discavage and The Neighborhood Kids — to hear the powerful stories behind their unforgettable songs.

Outdoor concert on Shelter Island at Humphreys Music by the Bay Guitar god Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of the fiercest young axmen of his generation, and he continues to blow audiences away every time he takes the stage. The self-taught virtuoso is a sight to behold in concert, where his furious fingers and flailing blonde locks serve as the perfect counterpoint to the precision and ease of his razor-sharp riffs. Whether he's playing bluesy originals from 2014's Goin' Home or covering legends like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, Shepherd always treats fans to electrifying performances that are as heavy on pure gusto as they are on musical chops. Bluesman Bobby Rush embodies the idea that you’re only as old as you feel. When he became more popular than ever in his eighties, he was consistently bringing his fans a live show - one as full of vitality as any you’d see from a performer a quarter his age. Rush doesn’t just stand there and sing, he really pulls out the stops for his ever-growing audience. When he’s not throwing emotion into his singing and harmonica playing, he’s cavorting with his female dancers, telling riveting stories and engaging in a give-and-take with the crowd that makes everybody in the room feel part of the evening’s event. With his crack band serving up Rush’s signature blend of funky grooves, soulful tunes and timeless blues, a Bobby Rush show isn’t just a concert, it’s an experience.
