Songwriter Sanctuary, the acclaimed monthly concert series featuring San Diego's finest songwriters, proudly announces its one-year anniversary show on Friday, January 26, 2024. The celebration will take place at Normal Heights United, located at 4650 Mansfield St, San Diego, CA 92116. Songwriter Sanctuary showcases three talented acts in a Nashville-style round, where artists share the stories and inspirations behind their beautiful songs. The concert series has become a staple in San Diego's music scene, providing a platform for local artists to connect with audiences in an intimate and meaningful way. The one-year anniversary lineup features: Eric Neilson: A San Diego based singer-songwriter, content creator, and music industry professional. Neilson's journey, from his University of New Haven music studies to his USS Boxer deployments, echoes the beatnik spirit. His music, illustrated through "The Hemingway EP" (2017) and "Medicine Man" (2023), captures stories from Boston's streets to Chicago's neon lights. Neilson continues to contribute to the local music community through his performances at venues like Tin Roof and Sycamore Den, as well as his work with Sofar Sounds and Writer's Round San Diego. Astra Kelly: A Chicago native with a pure talent for lyric-based, melodic sound and soaring vocals. Astra's music draws from her soulful Chicago roots fused with indie folk and Americana. As a career artist, she embarked upon “The Making Music Tour” in 2022, resulting in the album “Soul Fires,” reflecting spiritual/emotional healing and transformation. Astra's music has been described as "Folk Rock Bitten by the South." Dave Booda: A musician with a diverse and rich life journey, reflecting in his music. From Naval Academy graduate to a Navy Officer, a bicycle journey from London to Turkey, and living in a Tantra community in Bali, Dave's new album "Happy Accidents" is a collection of memories from a life well lived. Songwriter Sanctuary was founded in partnership with Normal Heights United Church by former San Diego residents and musicians Ben Grace Gilmore and Karyn Thurston Gilmore (of Story and Tune), as a sister event to their popular Writers Round San Diego series that takes place at the Ould Sod every Monday (now hosted by Lauren Leigh Martin with Eric Neilson’s AV support). Jeff Berkley, San Diego Music Awards 2023 Artist of the Year and San Diego Music Hall of Famer, stepped into the hosting role last September. Fellow local songwriter Lindsay White now handles booking and PR, while NHUnited’s Pastor Molly Lorden facilitates onsite logistics in the church's beautiful century-old sanctuary. Reflecting on Songwriter Sanctuary’s one year milestone, White said: "It truly takes a village to sustain community events like this, and our team is thrilled to continue doing our part to nurture this beautiful musical garden Ben and Karyn planted. From Jeff and Molly, to our sound tech and sponsors, to our faithful fans, everyone is working together to give due attention to San Diego's vibrant songwriter scene and show our featured artists gratitude for all the ways they fill our hearts and enrich our community. We hope you’ll join us!"

Architectural Salvage, a pioneer in San Diego's vintage and reclaimed interior scene, announces its planned closure after 28 years with a Celebration Sale on Jan. 12 – 14, 2024. Founded by artist and historic preservationist Elizabeth Scalice, this beloved store has been a treasure trove for adventurous homeowners, restoration enthusiasts, and designers, offering an array of unique, reclaimed vintage pieces for homes, restaurants, and gardens. "For 28 years, we've been an integral part of San Diego's story, helping to restore pieces of its heart and soul,” reflects owner Elizabeth Scalice. “Saying goodbye is bittersweet, but I'm filled with pride and gratitude for our community's support. This upcoming sale is our way of expressing thanks and celebrating everything we've cherished together." From its inception, Architectural Salvage has championed reuse, with Scalice’s artistic background and environmentalist passion shaping its mission. The journey began with a tiny house in Encinitas, built using alternatively sourced materials, inspiring the retail store's opening in Little Italy in 1996. Architectural Salvage quickly became a community cornerstone, fulfilling a growing need for sustainable, reclaimed materials and historic preservation. Architectural Salvage's eclectic inventory includes everything from windows and bathtubs to doorknobs and light fixtures, sourced from locales as varied as abandoned nunneries, the streets of Egypt, and the markets of Budapest. The store's commitment to environmental stewardship and landfill diversion was recognized with the San Diego Earth Award in 2004. Gaining a diverse following over the years, the store has attracted everyone from first-time homeowners to celebrities like Barbara Streisand, Bill Murray, and Tom Waites, and has been featured in The New York Times, Departures, and numerous regional publications. Cohn Restaurant Group has been a frequent client, with reclaimed pieces from the store featured in San Diego foodie hotspots like Craft & Commerce. Scalice's mission at Architectural Salvage went beyond retail; it was about promoting the strongest form of environmental consumerism through reuse. The store has also been a vital part of the historic preservation movement in San Diego, helping countless homeowners restore and maintain the city's architectural heritage. This commitment was exemplified in her own home renovation project, the William and Ida Cook House in Mission Hills, a notable endeavor that won her a SOHO People in Preservation Award in 2011. Inspired by her experience completing the Thames Swim Marathon in London last year, Scalice realized her desire to explore life beyond the store. “The main goal now is to honor the legacy of Architectural Salvage. It's been a beacon of positivity and a source of joy for so many, and I love hearing the stories of homes that have been restored as a result of the shop. I look forward to seeing its legacy continue even after our doors close in March.” From January 12 to 14, Architectural Salvage invites the San Diego community to a final sale and celebration of its legacy. The three-day event will include slices of cake for visitors, deep discounts on inventory, and an opportunity to reflect on the store’s legacy with owner Elizabeth Scalice. Patrons are invited to bring in photos of their cherished finds, especially those of Patina the cat, a beloved early fixture of the store from its early days at the corner of Grape & India Streets, to create a shared memory board. Architectural Salvage will host its Celebration Sale on January 12 and 13 from 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and on January 14 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 2401 Kettner Blvd, in Little Italy.
