"Backyard Wilderness" will surprise and entertain viewers with the unexpected wonders of nature that are right under our noses - in our own backyards. Spanning a seasonal year around a suburban home, the film displays a stunning array of unique wildlife images and behavior–all captured by cameras mounted inside dens and nests, and moving along the forest floor and pond bottom, to reveal its inhabitants in rare and breathtaking intimacy. We follow Katie, a young girl, and her modern family living next to the woods who are blind to the real-life spectacle around them, absorbed by an array of electronic devices in their busy lives. Katie gradually discovers the intricate secrets that nature has hidden so close to her front door and we experience the joy she finds in her interactions with this new world. The film reminds us that Wi-Fi is not the only connection that matters and that sometimes in ordinary places, you can uncover extraordinary things that could transform you forever–you just need to step outside.

San Diego, OHANA The island vibes are calling and we’re answering. Holo Holo Music Festival is bringing the energy, the culture, and the music you love to Waterfront Park on July 18, 2026. This is more than a festival. It’s a full-day escape filled with live island and reggae sounds, nonstop good energy, and that unmistakable Holo Holo feeling—when the music hits, the ocean breeze rolls in, and the whole crowd moves together. Holo Holo Music Festival San Diego – Waterfront Park July 18, 2026 Gates 12 p.m. // Music 1 p.m. Mahalo tickets are on sale now Best pricing won’t last. If you know, you know. Grab your crew and lock it in. We’ll see you by the water Holo Holo Music Festival was born from a love of island and reggae music—genres deeply rooted in connection, culture, and movement. The festival first set sail in 2022 at Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University, bringing together fans to celebrate the vibrant sounds of the islands. With the spirit of holo holo—meaning “to travel, to sail, to move”—the event quickly expanded to new shores, including Las Vegas and Sacramento. As the journey continued, Holo Holo became known for creating spaces where music, community, and culture come together naturally—by the water, under open skies, and surrounded by people who feel the music as much as they hear it. San Diego has become a meaningful stop on that journey, and 2026 brings the festival back to the waterfront for another unforgettable chapter. For Good Vibez Presents co-owner Dan Sheehan, Holo Holo is more than a festival—it’s personal. “Growing up in Ewa Beach, O‘ahu, island music and reggae were the soundtracks of my childhood. These styles—the heartbeat of the islands—are the backbone of my work as a festival producer and venue owner. A big part of Good Vibez Presents is about discovery, and I’m honored to showcase and celebrate these artists at Holo Holo Festivals.” For over 25 years, Good Vibez Presents has produced hundreds of immersive concerts and festivals across the West Coast, Hawaii, Arizona, North Carolina, and Mexico. They are the driving force behind the California Roots Music & Arts Festival in Monterey, the largest reggae-rock festival in the country. With a deep commitment to supporting nonprofits, small businesses, and creatives, Good Vibez Presents continues to build events that foster community, uplift artists, and spread positivity. Holo Holo Music Festival is more than just a gathering—it’s a journey. And in 2026, we can’t wait to holo holo with you.

On June 30, Sound Praxis presents an evening of electronic and electroacoustic music by Mike Nigro, Matthew D. Gantt, Ess Whiteley, and Jonathan Piper. This presentation is generously hosted by Brown Building in City Heights! **Mike Nigro** is an electronic musician and label operator based in Sydney, Australia (previously Brooklyn, NY and Newark, Delaware). His solo practice and collaborations draw inspiration from the minimalists, early synthesizer pioneers, and contemporary experimental underground. His work explores the spaces between musicality and noise; movement and stasis; synthetics and organics. **Matthew D. Gantt** is an artist, composer, and educator focused on sound in virtual spaces, generative systems facilitated by idiosyncratic technology, and digital production presets as sonic readymades. He worked as a studio assistant to electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick, and has been an active participant in the international creative community, presenting or performing at spaces such as Pioneer Works, Issue Project Room, Roulette, Babycastles, SVA Visible Futures Lab, Panoply Performance Laboratory, EMPAC, the Wrong Biennale, and countless DIY venues across North America. **Ess Whiteley** is a composer, performer, sound, & intermedia artist. Their work combines electronics with acoustic instruments, multimedia, repurposed technological objects, and sonic artifacts to produce audible worlds that explore temporal elasticity, living memory, haunted presents, and strange posthuman mutations. Sometimes hyperreal and maximal, other times hypnotic and meditative, their work plays with perceptual ambiguity, reference, technological agency, and absurdity, generating entangled, synthetic-organic architectures that shift between moving states of entropy, periodicity, and stasis. **Jonathan Piper** is a San Diego-based tubist and technologist. His work as a tubist centers on the exploration of sonic and gestural possibilities found at the limits of both the instrument and the performing body. Supported by extended techniques and live electronic processing, he combines elements of drone, doom, noise, free jazz, and contemporary idioms. Jonathan performs as a soloist and in collaboration with musicians including Ryan Ebaugh, Michelle Lou, Stevie Richards, Nathan Hubbard, Nathan Berlinguette, Meghann Welsh, and Nick Lesley. He has presented work at Oracle Egg's BROILER Residency Series, Drone Not Drones, High Desert Soundings, Project [BLANK]'s Working Title, Sudden Somethings From Nothing, and Vernacular New Music.
