Creature Canyon at the Belly Up Tavern
June 19
The title track to Creature Canyon's early EP Life I Know was named the 91X Local Break song for March 2017. They went on to win a $2000 second-place prize at the 2017 San Diego County Fair’s battle-of-the bands contest before releasing a seven-song EP the following year, Did You Want That.They recently released a couple of new singles, “Cheap Vacation” and “Fall Into Place.” The Solana Beach bill includes Aviator Stash, founded in 2014 and based in Carlsbad. In August 2021, their full-length Psiyh took home a San Diego Music Award for Best Indie/Alternative Album.
June 20
The San Carlos space that formerly hosted Navajo Live is now called McGuffie’s Live, with a calendar that is quickly filling up with musical events. Several of the same bands who frequented the previous venue are making return appearances, including hard rock/heavy metal vets Nemesis. The band made its mark in the late seventies, becoming known on the local scene for its dual lead guitarists Mike Pfahler (from early 80s metal band Victim) and Kevin Gault.
Daring Greatly at the Belly Up Tavern
June 20
Daring Greatly relocated from Calgary in Alberta, Canada to San Diego in August 2015, fronted at the time by Dail Croome and his two sons, Patrick and Liam, who were brought up on stage with their father (the elder Croome is now retired from the group). The band was nominated Best Rock Artist at the 2022 San Diego Music Awards. They also won a 2023 Song of the Year SDMA trophy for the track “Never A Goodbye,” and a new guitarist named Jeff Starkey made his live debut with the band at the 2024 Encinitas Street Fair. Their newest album Let It Ride was released in January.
June 22
The Zeros, aka "the Mexican Ramones," formed in Chula Vista in 1976, debuting at a dance in Rosarito, Mexico. They would go on to become one of San Diego’s most well-known and respected early punk bands, playing venues such as The Masque and Whisky Au Go-Go in L.A., San Francisco's Mabuhay Gardens and Deaf Club, and CBGB's and Max's Kansas City in New York City. The group has since splintered and reformed in various incarnations. In essence, there are currently two bands now operating at The Zeros, each with two of the original key members. Robert Lopez founded The Zeros ’77 with Hector Penalosa in order to promote a recent Bomp Records reissue of the Zeros material, Don’t Push Me Around, which compiles all their early singles, some rare tracks (including the previously unreleased “Left to Right”) and songs from a 1978 concert. The show is headlined by The Avengers, with opening acts to include the Hector Penalosa Gang.
Manny Cepeda Orchestra at Otay Ranch Town Center
June 24
The vibrant sounds of Latin music will once again fill the air at this year’s Salsa Under the Stars Summer Series. Running from early June until late September, the series will feature the Manny Cepeda Orchestra quartet and offer energetic music and dancing for all ages. Based in Little Italy, the Orchestra was formed by Cepeda in April 2004 in order to present original and classic Salsa and Merengüe selections and Cuban music styles to Mexican and American audiences throughout the greater San Diego area. Among the group’s albums are popular releases such as Padre Querido and Roots/Raices.
