Gary Wilson, Borrego Springs Music Fest, Deaf Club, Lee Coulter, SDMA Nominees
Live Five, March 20-26, 2025
March 20
The documentary film You Think You Really Know Me: The Gary Wilson Story, details the life of Gary Wilson, the eccentric indie-punk pioneer best known for his highly sought 1977 LP You Think You Really Know Me. Beck mentioned his name in 1996’s “Where It’s At” (“Passin’ the dutchie from coast to coast, like my man Gary Wilson rocks the most”). When New York’s Motel Records sought to rerelease Wilson’s seminal LP and hired a private detective to find him, he was rediscovered working at College Grove’s Jolar porn shop, and has since restarted his career. He just released a new album last May via Cleopatra Records, A Beautiful Bliss.
Borrego Springs Music Festival at Christmas Circle Community Park
March 22 and March 23
Taking place over three days, the Borrego Springs Music Festival offers free concert performances — rock, country, classical, Americana, and Latin music — along with food trucks and vendors. Saturday’s lineup features Disturbing the Piece, Cory Wilkins, Salinas Road, Les Allen, and Farm Truck. On Sunday, catch Mariachi Mi Mexico, Elizabeth Hernandez, Joel & Lupe Torres, and Los Villaños. Friday's event takes place on the Mall Steps.
Deaf Club at the Whistle Stop Bar
March 23
Co-founded by Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Deaf Club says they “approach music as an opportunity to confront our collective sicknesses.” They recently returned from a UK and European tour to promote their Productive Disruption full-length with a new guitarist, Sweatband Records co-founder Tommy Meehan (The Manx). You can welcome them home in Little Italy with a bill that includes Help and Machine Country.
Lee Coulter at L’Auberge Del Mar
March 26
Based in Encinitas, singer/guitarist Lee Coulter is a soulful troubadour along the lines of Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and local ladies man Michael Tiernan. Coulter makes ends meet “with performances at corporate and private events and bread-and-butter gigs around town. As Lee Coulter’s Perfect Wav, I produce other artists. And there’s royalties, but that’s a fraction of what I hope it will be someday.” At the 2021 San Diego Music Awards, Coulter took home the trophy for Best Folk or Acoustic Song: “Look Away.”
SDMA Nominee Showcase at the Belly Up Tavern
March 26
Several of this year’s San Diego Music Award nominees will perform in Solana Beach. Kimmi Bitter is centered around the vein of old-school country with a cosmic west coast twist. The Brothers Burns influences run the gamut of old school hip hop, funk, Motown, and R&B to classic rock, classical, electronic, and more. Jesse Ray Smith was raised in the artistic, small-town suburbs of Marin County, which is reflected in his music. Matthew Phillips pairs electronic elements with cinematic soundscapes and classic hook-filled lyrics. Safety Orange has been playing their laid-back, reggae-tinged approach to rock around the U.S. since 1995. The bill includes The Croome Bros (of Daring Greatly).
