  • Stucky Leigh
    Will Stucky and Lauren Leigh, who are accomplished and award-winning songwriters in their own right, teamed up to write and release their first song, Feel This Way, in December 2023. They have since been writing and harmonizing new songs about the nuanced ups and downs of life in a cheeky indie-folk fashion. They have made a splash in the local indie music scene since releasing their debut duo single last year. Opening the concert will be Aaron Bowen, an acoustic jazz/folk artist with a European flair—Django Reinhardt meets Paul Simon. A Southern California native and the son of four generations of musicians, Aaron has been a student of music and, in particular, a student of the guitar, from an early age. Touring extensively in Europe has gained Aaron a record contract with a Parisian label Seventh Crow Records.
