Songwriter Sanctuary: Shea Givens, DevvLov, Anthony Cullins
Songwriter Sanctuary will host Shea Givens, DevvLove, and SDMA Artist of the Year Anthony Cullins performing original music in a Nashville-style round. The event is hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley in partnership with Normal Heights United. All donations collected go directly to artists, and no one is turned away for lack of funds. Shea Givens, a Missouri native now based in Southern California, is a musician known for her powerful live performances. With influences from R&B, Neo-Soul, Blues, Rock, and Country, she is unafraid to experiment with genre styles. Anthony Cullins, known as “The Fallbrook Kid,” fuses blues, funk, rock, and soul into a dazzling guitar style that’s earned him San Diego Music Awards for Best Blues Artist (2023) and Artist of the Year (2025). He has performed alongside icons including Frank Hannon, Greg Douglass, and Kid Ramos.
DevvLov delivers a unique blend of rhythm and soul, performing from his cajón while looping percussion and keys. His sound weaves influences from Alicia Keys, Damien Rice, Bon Iver, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson into something all his own.
