Mark your calendars for Friday April 24, 2026! Songwriter Sanctuary is back for a night of original music (with ASL access!) featuring SD Music Hall of Famer Robin Henkel, Billboard charting multi-SDMA winner Whitney Shay with guitar virtuoso Aaron Lind, and emerging artist Jay Freed. Hosted by Jeff Berkley at Normal Heights United. Doors 6:30 p.m., Music 7 p.m. Our Pre-Show Pantry Jam will kick off at 5:30 p.m. for attendees who want to arrive early with unopened/unexpired food or gently used clothing for the community pantry, fridge, and closet. Unplugged pre-show entertainment will be provided on the “sidewalk stage” by Songwriter Sanctuary alumni artist Hailey Marea. About the Artists Robin Henkel performs blues with an intensity rarely seen in Southern California. Drawing from the styles of Robert Johnson, Fred McDowell and Elmore James, Robin has moulded his own intense and entertaining personal style. Robin’s performances often include stories and anecdotes regarding the history of the blues and the unique vintage instruments he performs with. He is a four time recipient of "Best Blues" at the San Diego Music Awards. Whitney Shay & Aaron Lind form a dynamic duo blending powerhouse blues, soul, and jazz influences with seasoned musicianship. Shay, an internationally touring vocalist, pairs her infectious energy with Lind’s masterful guitar work, shaped by decades of practice and performance across jazz, funk, and rock stages. Jay Freed is a singer-songwriter blending acoustic R&B and indie folk. Grounded in a mindset of steady growth and risk-taking, his work encourages listeners to move at their own pace and pursue what they love on their own terms.
