It's a big night for San Diego-bred artists. Little Hurricane is featured at Arts and Amps, a super cool series held every summer at the Karl Strauss Tasting Room in Pacific Beach. And a little further up the coast, our friends and multiple San Diego Music Award winners Trouble in the Wind celebrate an album release party at the Sunshine Brooks Theatre in Oceanside. At Lestat's, former San Diegan (now based in Amsterdam) Gayle Skidmore celebrates a homecoming show to kick off a massive tour. We have serious talents that have come out of San Diego, and it's always awesome when we can celebrate them, even if they no longer call this place home.
