Melissa Etheridge, Steve Poltz Go Pro for Poway OnStage

Poway OnStage's Professional Performance Series runs from October 2019 to May 2020

It's the 29th year of Poway OnStage's one-night-only performances, and for the 2019-2020 season, the intimate North County venue is going pro.

From Friday, Oct. 4, to Sunday, May 17, 2020, Poway OnStage's Professional Performance Series will bring Melissa Etheridge, Steve Poltz & Jack Tempchin, Jake Shimabukuro and many more to the 800-seat theater.

With 12 performances in all spanning some eight months, there's plenty for everyone and for every schedule.

β€œWe are passionate about bringing powerful live performances to our patrons and our community,” Poway OnStage President and CEO Michael Rennie said in a press release.

β€œThe Poway Center is an intimate and accommodating venue in which to showcase an eclectic selection of outstanding talent, both known and emerging. It is a joy doing what we do,” he added.

Etheridge recently headlined San Diego Pride and Shimabukuro always makes the rounds at Humphreys, while Poltz is a Belly Up regular at this point. 

Tempchin, Poltz' opener on Nov. 2, co-wrote a number of Eagles' songs, including "Peaceful Easy Feeling."
