Join us for a collaborative event that features Soul Sunday hosted at MCASD. This is an all-ages, family friendly music event consisting of a live DJ set and the Soul Sunday band. Soul Sunday is an intimate concert event thoughtfully curated on a Sunday of every month in San Diego, and it showcases local neo-soul, funk, and jazz artists. They aim to give exposure and create a platform for local artists to showcase their talents while paying them to play instead of vice versa. This philosophy, coupled with supporting local non-profits, allows Soul Sunday to foster community and grow the diverse culture of our fine city.

Puma Blue is the alias of artist, producer & songwriter, Jacob Allen. Originally from South-London, currently based in Atlanta; Puma Blue first gained wider attention with his EPs "Swum Baby" (2017) & "Blood Loss" (2018). His debut album "In Praise Of Shadows" was released in 2021, followed by concert-film "A Late Night Special." Noted for a blend of sensuality, intimate fragility & haunting, nocturnal ambience, Puma Blue’s live shows feature a band of close friends, blending jazz-influenced improvisation with a vocal energy often likened to Jeff Buckley. His second album "Holy Waters," a darker, band-focused meditation on the acceptance of death, was released in 2023 & hailed a triumph. In 2025 it was followed by surprise album, "antichamber," announced mere hours before release, an ambient, stripped-back body of work featuring obscure, minimalist arrangements & field recordings. In October 2025, Puma Blue announced that new music was once again imminent, sharing fragments of new single "Desire". Puma Blue on Instagram / YouTube

Call it fluid art, liquid art, or acrylic pouring, there’s nothing more satisfying than creating abstract masterpieces by letting pigment run amok. This form of abstract art uses acrylics with a runny consistency to create psychedelic paintings. There are endless creative possibilities thanks to different ways to combine acrylic paints and there’s something so satisfying about watching it spill across a surface.

Cowboy gypsy bebop crawl with The Garners! This modern vintage duo embraces gypsy jazz, 1920s and 1930s jazz, blues, and folk. Raggedly sophisticated, The Garners’ mysterious sweetness will entrance even the most immovable listener. Lorelei, on vocals and ukulele, is a classically trained vocalist who fell in love with swing jazz and Americana. Jon, on vocals and guitar, is a certified jazz nerd having fallen in love with Billie Holiday, Lester Young, and Charlie Christian at the age of sixteen. With Lorelei on tenor uke, Jon on gypsy guitar, and both singing from the deep wells of their booming hearts, their music will transport you back when times were harder, but the good times were more colorful, vibrant, and bold.
