This sculptural, audio-visual installation replicates a section of the US/Mexico International Border Wall composed of a faux concrete base containing hidden speakers and two projectors. The installation presents a looping 13-min audio of two violinists, one Mexican and one American with the border wall dividing them while they play the same original musical score, the music notes of which can be seen projected on the grey poles of the sculpture.

Join us on Friday, July 26 at Normal Heights United as Songwriter Sanctuary continues a stellar summer lineup featuring the finest songwriters in San Diego. This month, Aaron Bowen, Angel René Wilson, and Francis Blume will share original music performed in a Nashville-style round hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley. A full-time honors English major and law student at San Diego Mesa College, Angel René Wilson balances rigorous academics with his roles as a performer, writer, and founder of MARTYR, a local music and arts production company. He is currently working on his debut album, a book, and a short film, all set for release in 2025, while planning to transfer to UCLA in the fall. Aaron Bowen, a Southern California native, blends acoustic jazz and folk with a European flair, evoking Django Reinhardt and Paul Simon. With four generations of musicians in his family, Aaron's decade-long career as a songwriter and producer has flourished. Besides performing and producing, he builds unique electric guitars, inspired by his mentor at High Spirit Guitars in San Diego. Aaron's mission is to create and share authentic music and instruments, inspiring others to be true to themselves. Francis Blume, a singer/songwriter from Vista, CA, crafts a vintage sound that transports listeners to a nostalgic era. Drawing inspiration from icons like Roy Orbison and Elvis, his music blends heartfelt emotion with the charm of the 1950s and 60s. Known for his crooning style and evocative performances, Blume captures the essence of a bygone time, offering a refreshing and timeless musical experience.
