A Songwriter’s Serenade features an evening blend of acoustic singer/songwriter talent Friday, August 2nd from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. performing at the Maritime Museum of San Diego aboard the elegant Victorian-era 1898 steam ferryboat Berkeley. The audience will enjoy an evening of Pop, Folk, Alternative and Americana music genre performances featuring longtime Maritime Museum of San Diego leader, curator, muse and master songwriter Mark Montijo, professional and songwriting power duo Stucky Leigh and international performing songwriter, maker of movies and music Gregory Page. Mark will be accompanied by multi-instrumental artist Lenny Bole. Mark Montijo, former Maritime Museum Curator, Chief Administrator, and Vice President, now spends much of his time writing and performing original music, a career he abandoned in his youth. 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. Reilly. For more information visit: sdmaritime.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram

The Athenaeum Art Center and Bread & Salt co-present a special concert at 1955 Julian Avenue in Logan Heights, on Saturday, August 17. A longtime friend of the Athenaeum jazz program, the Brazilian vocalist, composer, pianist, and percussionist Claudia Villela is joined by Romero Lubambo on guitar for a program celebrating her latest CD release, Cartas ao Vento, a collection of original compositions that was listed as one of DownBeat’s Best Albums in 2023. Villela sings mostly in Portuguese, interpreting lyrics with keen emotional insight and supple rhythmic command. DownBeat noted her “unwavering commitment to the highest level of improvisation,” adding: “All discussions about Villela’s singing and songwriting necessarily start with a nod to the dizzying scope and depth of her improvisatory skill. In one tune, she’ll run through several registers, shift vocal qualities, allude to familiar riffs and keep unswerving time. Oh, and improvise a full set of lyrics in Portuguese. It must be said, hardly anybody can do this.” The New York Times celebrated her “remarkable, beautiful, towering voice,” and banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck commented, “She is pure music!” Lubambo is known to Athenaeum audiences for performances with Chico Pinheiro, Luciana Souza, and Trio Da Paz. He has performed and recorded with many of the outstanding artists of our time, from Dianne Reeves, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, and Gal Costa to Yo-Yo Ma, Kathleen Battle, and Billie Eilish. Jazziz wrote, “Guitarist Romero Lubambo may be the best practitioner of his craft in the world today ... [his] facility, creativity, and energy are in a class all their own.” DownBeat commented, “Lubambo is by himself the equivalent of an entire samba band … He tosses melodies, bass lines, and rhythms in the air like juggling clubs.” For more information visit: ljathenaeum.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
