Carlos Olmeda is back in San Diego for this solo show. When he was living here he earned the respect of all who heard him with his beautiful voice, his artful, poignant, and often funny songwriting, and his marvelous guitar accompaniment. He toured with and performed alongside Jason Mraz and was one of San Diego’s premier performers. Puerto Rican by birth, he sings in both English and Spanish, but if you ask him for an Irish song he’ll break out the most perfect brogue you’ve ever heard. He’s sometimes been called Carlos O’Meda. Don’t miss this show.

“Singular” is the word that best describes Amy Steinberg.
Uplifting, enlightening and hilarious with a voice that can burn the house down, Amy Steinberg is singer, songwriter and storyteller like none other. She plays the piano and guitar with her own swingy rhythmic bounce, injecting shades of jazz, rock, hip hop, and poetry, all with a theatrical flair. Deeply soulful, with her power belt, she sings of self-love, open-mindedness, and the holiness of everything. Come by and share the energy that is Amy Steinberg and get a copy of her new CD, “Big Bang Breaks”.

Concert - Jan Garrett & JD Martin
2024-01-21 12:30 - 14:30 | Vision Mission Valley, 4780 MISSION GORGE PLACE, SUITE H, SAN DIEGO, CA, 92120, United States
Jan & JD love bringing things together: Musical styles, spiritual and philosophical perspectives, and most importantly, people. Both are consummate musicians, performers, and songwriters in their own right, with long and illustrious individual careers. The big magic happens when they come together.
Jan Garrett and JD Martin are multi-award-winning singer songwriters who live and create their music in the mountains of Colorado near Aspen. Both are seasoned performers and creative guides who teach with a twinkle, and inspire by example. They call their 27-year partnership “The Heart of Harmony” not only because they are happily married (to each other) but because they get to write, record, sing, and play their music for appreciative audiences around the country, and beyond. Their music is rich and intelligent, a velvet-hammer wake-up call as satisfying to the soul as it is to the ear…songs to open the heart and refresh the spirit.
Recordings: Together Jan & JD have produced 9 CDs of original songs. Their music is universally inclusive and uplifting, “A feast of musical endorphins, well-being made audible.” The songs are a soulful ride through light and shadow, musical styles and lyrical perspectives with depth and integrity, masterfully held together by the language and harmony of the heart. The songs are rich and intelligent, a velvet hammer wake-up call as satisfying to the soul as they are to the ear….Music to open the heart and refresh the spirit.
The Music: Stylistically their primarily piano-based music winds through pop and gospel, jazz, folk, soul and country…..but it’s the rich vocal harmonies, lyrical depth, and their comfortably compelling stage presence that define their magnetic appeal. Jan & JD are all about generosity of heart and soul, artfully wrapped up in musical excellence.
Awards: Both Jan and JD have been winners at the Positive Music Awards (Empower Music and Arts) for many years running. Their songs have received top honors in the Indie International Songwriting Competition, and their album “Already Home” was recently awarded the Seal of Excellence by the Positive Music Association.

Jan and JD are seasoned performers and creative guides who teach with a twinkle, and inspire by example.
