Cash’d Out at the Belly Up
May 25
Cash’d Out is a Johnny Cash cover band that formed in late 2004 when singer Douglas Benson (who had only recently learned guitar) met guitarist Kevin Manuel through an ad in the Reader. The band strives to recreate music from Cash’s Columbia and Sun Records period, along with the famed live recordings Cash did at Folsom Prison and San Quentin. They’ve won multiple San Diego Music Awards as Best Cover Or Tribute Band and have performed with longtime Johnny Cash drummer W.S. Holland, as well as with John Carter Cash (Cash’s son) and Cindy Cash (Cash’s daughter).
May 27
El Cajon resident Nathan Raney began playing music in grade school, starting on the drums before picking up the bass and then guitar. While developing as a songwriter, he studied at Grossmont College and worked retail day jobs at businesses such as Costco. He was seen at his dad Jerry Raney's side when the elder Raney took home a lifetime achievement trophy at the 2021 San Diego Music Awards, as well as gigging around town with Manifold and his own self-named progressive hard tock band. The bill also features Kid Gruesome and Vanouhi.
Shea Givens at L’Auberge Del Mar
May 28
Born and raised in Missouri, indie-soul artist Shea Givens grew up singing, songwriting, playing the piano, and performing alongside her mother from a young age. She continued to perform all throughout college, which helped her to develop a unique mix of soul, pop, and R&B. She has collaborated with artists such as west coast multi-platinum producer and talkbox artist Fingazz, Lil Rob, Evan Palmer, Benni Ola, Karats Alexander, and David Francisco, and has performed with R&B songwriter and vocalist Allen Stone.
