Songwriter Sanctuary Announces 2025 Season Lineup

Bonjour, homies! I’m officially stateside, back from my two-week French artist residency which was très fantastique. Yes, my body has taken on the shape and texture of a croissant. No, I don’t want to talk about it. Here’s what I do want to talk about.

Songwriter Sanctuary in session!

The 2025 season of Songwriter Sanctuary is officially complete, and I am so excited to bring you 11 concerts featuring 33 stellar members of the San Diego (and San Diego-adjacent in a couple cases) songwriting community. We’ve got multi-SDMA winners, a SD Music Hall of Famer, and a Grammy winner in this mix! You are not going to want to miss any of these shows, which brings me to my next announcement:

For a short time, we will be offering a limited amount of 2025 Season Passes! Pre-selling season passes is a win for us because it will allow us to offer artist guarantees, which these fine creators more than deserve, don’t you think? And the pass is a win for you, because of benefits such as:

• Admission to all 2025 events (obviously)
• (1) complimentary beverage at each show
• (6) complimentary guest passes, to be redeemed at an 2025 concert
• Name/acknowledgement on the Songwriter Sanctuary website

Maybe it’s still the Paris in me, but I know San Diego can also be a city that reveres its vibrant artists and their work. So, I’m asking both performers and attendees and whoever is reading this to make a commitment to sustaining Songwriter Sanctuary in 2025. There are so many ways to show up; feel free to reach out and connect if you want to help grow this community! Otherwise, it’s not worth the time I spend away from my family. There, I said it. Maybe France turned me into a bit of an asshole. C’est comme ça.

Take a look at the 2025 lineup below, then hurry on over to get your season pass (or gift one to a friend) while supplies last; they will only be available until Thursday, January 30. Make sure to let all your music-loving friends know!
