The Acoustic Evenings series at the Athenaeum showcases some of the finest acoustic musicians in San Diego. Three acts fill each program and attentive audiences delight in the intimacy of the unplugged storytelling format. Refreshments are available at the intermission reception and post-concert meet-and-greet. San Diego Music Hall of Fame founder Jefferson Jay curates and hosts the concert series. The project advances the Athenaeum’s commitment to support diverse San Diego talent. Sue Palmer, San Diego’s Queen of Boogie Woogie, has amazed audiences all over the world with her unique style and phenomenal left hand for over 30 years. She was inducted into the San Diego Music Hall of Fame in 2018, had a day named after her by the city in 2008, and won numerous San Diego Music Awards for her bands and albums. She has recorded over 12 albums under her own name, securing local and international awards.
Rob Deez says, “I’m a comedic singer-songrhymer, which basically means that I can appeal to many different audiences. The comedic side fits in at comedy shows, the singer side works at coffee shops and bars, and the rhyming side does well at hip-hop shows.” A longtime vet of local musical theater, particularly at City College’s Saville Theatre, Deez delivers San Diego music like no other and cherishes each chance he gets to entertain Athenaeum members.
Jon Zampese, a high energy performer, writes a danceable blend of soul, pop, jazz, and R&B. Think George Benson’s “Give Me the Night” with mud on the boots. Zamp counts the San Diego Symphony Summer Pops Series pre-show stage for Ozomatli, the Divas of Disco, and the 1812 Tchaikovsky Spectacular as performance highlights. He is currently preparing a Spring 2022 EP release, BoUTIQUE SoUL.
