About the Musicians

Calman Hart, born in Woods Cross City, Utah, began his musical journey in high school, eventually making San Diego his home. With acclaimed albums like "Red-Eyed & Blue" and "Train in the Distance," he's been a staple in the city's music scene for decades as a solo artist and alongside Jeff Berkley as part of acclaimed duo Berkley Hart.

Bug Guts, (rosebud and Scott Ireland) met during San Diego's punk scene heyday. After a transformative acoustic jam session, they embarked on a musical journey, releasing over a dozen albums. With a blend of Alternative, Folk, Punk, and Americana influences, their live performances are known for their infectious and playfully provocative energy.

Missy Alcazar is a professional dueling pianist known for her dynamic performances. She's the first resident female dueling pianist at Disneyland's "Showdown At The Golden Horseshoe" and has had her songs featured on TV shows like "90 Day Fiance." Active in philanthropy, Missy is working on establishing The Melba Foundation to provide free music lessons and instruments to under-resourced communities.
