Event Details

Checked Out! is an annual celebration of eclectic music by local artists. Curated by Stay Strange, this adventurous FREE music program mixes unique genres of artists from San Diego and Los Angeles.

The themes for this year’s event are traditions, rituals and storytelling. Traditions through the cultural process of performing music, rituals by the sequence of the song, and storytelling through the movement of the music. For this year’s event, you can expect heavy percussive world and global music, mysterious folkloric instrumentals, and mesmerizing shadow play performances.

The fest kicks off at noon with a shadow puppet-making workshop with Armando de la Torre in the library's courtyard.

The music begins at 2:30pm in the Neil Morgan Auditorium with performances by:

Sean Conway - Spiritual hurdy-gurdy and voice 

The Sorcerer Family - Occult electric ukulele 

Dornob - Avant-garde Persian music

And will conclude with a musically enhanced shadow puppet performance
