Happy hour music will be provided by the student ensembles of The Nash, including the Nash Vocal Ensemble and the all-girls Nash Jazz DivAZ.

The evening will then commence with an amazing three-course dinner and will be followed by music from Grammy-nominated and venue namesake, Lewis Nash and his hand-picked band of jazz greats. This all-star lineup includes Nash Jazz Beacon Award Winner, Charles McPherson, six-time San Diego Jazz Artist of the Year, Gilbert Castellanos and the sultry voice of Sacha Boutros.
