2024 San Diego Music Awards Winner for Best Jazz Artist ” From the moment Mercedes Moore takes the stage you can’t look away. She welcomes you to the show, thanks you for coming, and the band rips into its opening chords. As dancers rush to the floor, the smile on Mercedes’ face grows more radiant; you’re in her world and nothing else matters. You might think she was destined to do this, but you’d be wrong. Moore grew up doubting her skills, “I didn’t think that I could sing.” She says. “I didn’t think it was possible.” That was then, this is now. Today, fronting her own band, Mercedes works hard to be more than a voice. She wants fans to feel the music, the way she feels the music. Watching faces in the crowd on this night, as Mercedes swings through an extensive playlist of ballads, blues, and soul shakers, it’s obvious she has them right where she wants them. Yet, the most remarkable aspect of this story, the woman has only been singing professionally for a little more than eight years. Eight years. Let there be no doubt, Mercedes Moore is making the most of her time. As a three-time San Diego Music Award nominee, Moore performs regularly with some of Southern California’s premier musicians. The list is endless–Taryn Donath, John Simons, Mark Campbell, Marc Ramos, Tracy Wiebeck, Kurt Kalker, Matt Taylor, Steve Wilcox, Scot Smart, Missy Andersen, Sharifah Muhammad, and Laura Chavez–to name but a few. When asked, Moore is straightforward about the multitude of players. “It just makes you a better singer.” She smiles. “And different people have different strengths. Plus, I want to learn, so I can be better.” It appears to be working. Mercedes Moore is currently juggling four major projects and her music can range from blues, gospel, and R&B to a boatload of classic rock and blue-eyed soul. This does not take into consideration the assortment of duo and trio sets, the occasional jazz venture, and an array of impromptu performances with local and visiting artists. “ …. read the rest at https://sandiegotroubadour.com/12256/ See More Events here For more information visit: bardicmanagement.com Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram

The Photographer’s Eye Gallery in Escondido will host an exhibition by Alanna Airitam, "New Histories: Where Present Meets Past", in which she addresses Black history by exploring society's racial past through a new lens. Airitam’s work has been recognized nationally and internationally, and her series, The Golden Age, challenged racial stereotypes by featuring Black figures in portraits done in the style of Dutch Renaissance Masters. Airitam said the work was inspired by visiting museums and being struck by the absence of Black faces in artwork by historic masters. “I made the work because I needed it for myself, for the ability to see blackness in a way that wasn’t so overwhelmingly stereotypical and negative,” Airitam said. The Photographer’s Eye exhibit will mark the first time that some of Airitam's art will be shown in San Diego, where she formerly lived and maintains close ties. Works on display will include “Dueling Dogs” from her Ghosts series, “Bananas” and “Watermelons” from her Colonized Foods series, and works from "The Golden Age."
