Band Camp Music Festival took place at The San Diego Mission Bay Boat and Ski Club in PB.  Started in September of 2004, Band Camp Music Festival featured 21 bands on 3 stages outdoors by the bay plus food and full bar.  Tent camping and breakfast the next day with acoustic music from 10 to 2....only $10!  Canceled in 2008 due to issues with the City, we look forward to finding a new home for this family-friendly concert.  See who's played before!  CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE!
THE GAME - Inspired by our friend Jeff Berkley, The Game is a songwriter's get together and everyone is invited.  We give you a title and you write a song to it.  All skill levels and styles are welcome...spectators, too.  Solo or small ensemble (no drum kits or amps, please).  $5 suggested donation for performers and spectators alike, but no one is turned away.  21+.  Questions?  The next GAME happens at 4pm on 10/3 at DESI'S BAR AND GRILL in Point Loma.  The title is LOOKING UP.  Immediatly following the game we'll start Couch Sessions. 
COUCH SESSIONS - Completely interactive, Couch Sessions is a great way to hear your songs through the ears of others.  Bring your unplugged (there is no p.a.) stringed instruments, horns, small percussion toys (no hand drums, please) and voices.  Play along with featured acts or play a song of your own and hear others playing along.  Spectators are welcomed and encouraged.  The next event takes place on 10/3 after The Game at Desi N Friends in Point Loma, full bar and great menu.
