The Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla
The Acoustic Evenings with Jefferson Jay, Fall 2022 series at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library showcases some of the finest acoustic musicians in San Diego. Three acts fill each program and attentive audiences delight in the intimacy of unplugged storytelling.  BILLY GALEWOOD, JAMIE SHADOWLIGHT, AARON MARKLAND: Fri Oct. 7, 7:30pm Billy Galewood is a singer, songwriter, and rapper with an eclectic acoustic/hip-hop sound. Known for his freestyle skills on the microphone, Billy’s shows blend hip-hop, acoustic rock, funk, improvisation and comedy, and incorporate circus tricks such as hula hooping, fire breathing, face balancing, juggling, and balloon art. Violinist Jamie Shadowlight plays jazz and Latin-influenced music. Award-winning guitarist Aaron Markland has 5 full-length albums with a vast catalog of original and cover songs spanning a variety of styles, including beach rock, Cali- pop, reggae, funk, punk, blues, and acoustic roots.  TIM FLANNERY, WAX, JEFFERSON JAY: Fri Oct. 21, 7:30pm Tim Flannery has a voice as smooth as Kentucky bourbon and a heart worn on both sleeves; his performances ebb and flow with brilliant melodies and soaring harmonies. Wax’s songs display advanced, technical rap wordplay, heartfelt tales of struggle, and inspirational numbers containing optimistic advice and/or guidance. Jefferson Jay, long-time curator and host of Acoustic Evenings, is at home with the Athenaeum audience.  JIMMY PATTON & ENRIQUE PLATAS, GABY APARICIO, SHAKEDOWN STRING BAND: FRI Nov. 4, 7:30pm Guitarist Jimmy Patton and percussionist Enrique Platas’ musical collaboration has given creation to their unique, fiery world-music style. Gaby Aparicio experiments with sound in her solo bilingual appearances. Shakedown String Band’s core sound relies heavily on vocal harmonies and soaring melodies, with momentum powered by tight drums and percussion that leave no mistake about the groove.
