Following January’s incredible full-house 2nd Anniversary show, Songwriter Sanctuary returns on Friday, February 28 with a new lineup featuring Rebecca Jade, Ash the Author, and Nubella Honey performing in the round. Songwriter Sanctuary is hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley and Normal Heights United. (4650 Mansfield St. Suggested Donation $10. All ages. Doors 6:30 p.m., Music 7 p.m.) About the Artists Rebecca Jade is an award-winning R&B, soul, and jazz artist whose accolades include multiple San Diego Music Awards and performances with legends like Sheila E. and Sir Elton John. Ash the Author paints true school golden age hip-hop lyrics and thoughtful musings over soulful and jazzy palates. The blend between airy crooning and gritty wordplay are a testament to his upbringing: his time in Chicago bringing out the clever, reflective and sometimes sensitive lyrics and his time in California allowing a funky, carefree side to surface. Get lost in the vibes and storytelling of a true author. (-SofarSounds) Nubella Honey is a Nigerian-born singer-songwriter whose rich, soulful vocals glide over funk-infused grooves. With notable appearances at Sofar Sounds and San Diego Pride, she brings a nostalgic yet fresh sound to every stage. Event Details Date: Friday, Feb. 28, 2025.
