Singer Songwriter Showcase
Saturday, Feb. 13, 2026⋅7:00 – 9:00pm
An evening of original music and storytelling brings accomplished Southern California songwriters together for the
Singer Songwriter Showcase. The event offers an opportunity to hear songs directly from the people who wrote them and experience the stories, experiences, and ideas behind the music.
Jeff Berkley
San Diego native Jeff Berkley is a songwriter, musician, guitarist, and producer whose career spans decades. He has collaborated with artists including Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Ben Harper, Indigo Girls, Bob Weir, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Steve Poltz, and Tim Flannery.
Berkley won the
Kerrville New Folk Songwriters Award in 1999 and has earned multiple San Diego Music Awards with Berkley Hart and Jeff Berkley & The Banned, including Artist of the Year in 2023. He has also been inducted into the San Diego Music Hall of Fame.
Scott & Rosebud Ireland — Bug Guts
Scott and Rosebud Ireland, known as Bug Guts, first met while fronting San Diego punk bands during the city's underground punk scene. An acoustic jam revealed a different musical connection, and after a serious accident temporarily paralyzed Scott, the two eventually returned to music as a primarily acoustic duo.
Bug Guts has released five albums, and Scott and Rosebud have received numerous songwriting awards. Their performances combine harmonies, distinctive lyrics, intricate guitar work, and a playful live energy.
Tony Feathers
Originally from East Tennessee and raised in Southern California, Tony Feathers has turned a lifetime of experiences into songs. He has written more than 100 songs, recorded two albums, and performed at venues, charitable events, and on the radio.
His songwriting also took him to MerleFest after he placed third in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition. Feathers continues to write and occasionally perform, keeping storytelling at the center of his music.
An Evening Built Around the Song
The Singer Songwriter Showcase puts original songwriting at the center of the evening. Rather than simply hearing the music, audiences get to experience the individual voices and stories of the artists who created it.
It’s a chance to hear three distinctive songwriting perspectives brought together for one live performance.
