Her music sits at the intersection of rock and pop without fully belonging to either. Her current single Morphine is out now = the third chapter in her Sleepwalking EP arc due later this year, exploring dissociation and the feeling of losing yourself completely.

SandollarArtist Sandollar is an award-winning San Diego beach rock and Cali reggae band known for blending reggae, surf rock, funk, hip-hop, pop, and Southern California soul into a sound rooted in coastal culture, good energy, and live musicianship. Formed in San Diego, Sandollar has built a loyal following through high-energy performances, genre-blending recordings, and a sound that reflects the beach, surf, skate, and live music culture of Southern California. The band describes its music as "beach rock," a natural fusion of classic rock, funk, hip-hop, and Cali reggae shaped by friendship, rhythm, and the laid-back spirit of San Diego. Led by frontman, songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist, and guitarist Baron Lunbeck, Sandollar features a tight-knit lineup of musicians whose chemistry dates back to their early days making music together. That long-standing connection remains central to the band's identity, giving their songs a sense of authenticity, movement, and shared history. Sandollar's music has reached audiences well beyond Southern California. The band's song "Up Up," originally released on their 2013 Pacific Records album Roller Coaster Ride, was prominently featured in the Netflix series Outer Banks, helping introduce Sandollar's beach rock sound to a wider global audience. Music from the same era also appeared on CBS's Magnum P.I., further establishing the band as a natural fit for film, television, and lifestyle-driven storytelling. The group's catalog includes multiple albums and singles that showcase its evolving sound, from early fan favorites to more recent releases that expand the band's blend of reggae, rock, funk, pop, and hip-hop influences. Their 2013 album Roller Coaster Ride entered the iTunes Reggae Albums chart at #7, while their 2023 album Under the Water won Best World Music Album at the San Diego Music Awards. The album's single "Warrior" was also nominated for Song of the Year, and Sandollar later received a San Diego Music Award nomination for Best World Music Artist.

Celina Rescott & The EmbersArtist Celina is originally from Upstate NY and has been living in San Diego for 4.5 years now. Music has always been apart of her life, starting with piano lessons in 2nd grade, she began singing alongside her playing. She found her way into musical theatre and singing the national anthem at sporting events as a means of performance. The musical theatre influences her style of singing and performance to this day. But she always sang other people's music, she never really tried writing anything, didn't feel she had anything to say. She started dabbling with writing some things here and there a few years ago and really started writing more routinely once she got immersed in the music scene here in San Diego. The beginning of her adult life was spent in the corporate world but once she found herself out here in San Diego, you could say she found herself a bit more and left the 9-5 world to pursue other creative ventures. She played her first show here solo on the keys and that was where she was first scouted to front a local rock band project. While doing that, she started to really discover herself as a rock artist. She began picking up more solo gigs on the keys over time and when she parted ways with that project, she had enough ideas of her own to begin her own project. That's when she gathered the group of musicians to back her, now known as The Embers. They had a breakout year in 2025, playing their first show in April here in San Diego, touring in the Northeast in July, dropping their debut EP, MIND GAMES in August and following it up with another single release, "I'm Not Me" in November. "Cigarette Kisses" was featured in a fan film released on YouTube, Halloween Aftermath. If you've seen them perform here in San Diego, you've come to know the shows as quite interactive and chaotic. She decided to call it a "pop rockera experience". This year they’re taking the project across the pond, [...]
