Vintage soul with a psychedelic heartbeat.

With a vintage soul and a psychedelic heartbeat, Seapoodle channels the golden era of surf rock through a modern San Diego lens. Born during the 2021 lockdown just steps from Windansea Beach, the band began as a guitar duo and has since evolved into an eight-piece collective, often joined by an extended family of guest musicians who bring new textures to their ever-shifting sound.

Their music blends 60s and 70s rock, Latin grooves, layered percussion, and reverb-soaked tones, designed to move like a wave, building, curling, and breaking with hypnotic energy. In 2024, they scored the surf film Confluence, further cementing their role in the evolving culture of California surf psychedelia.

From beachside jams to packed stages, Seapoodle delivers a live experience that flows between meditative and explosive, always grounded in rhythm.

Pocket Change is a San Diego–based jazz fusion trio built on a foundation of keys, bass and drums. Rooted in jazz but restless by design, the group draws from neo-soul, funk and hip hop to electronic, Latin, Afrobeat and world music, and its compositions are treated as living pieces that take new forms each time they're played. That openness extends to the stage: the trio regularly welcomes a rotating cast of guest percussionists, horn players and vocalists, making every performance a collaboration. Its members also bring experience from across the local scene.
What began as an experiment composing short-form pieces for social media in a backyard has grown into a project that continues to push its members, its listeners and itself. The band has appeared at festivals including Same Same But Different, held residencies at some of San Diego's top clubs and restaurants, and established a partnership with the education program at Studio West. In 2026, Pocket Change played two shows at Belly Up, including an opening slot for the Soul Rebels, and made its Music Box debut as part of the Summer LaunchPad Series showcasing local San Diego artists.
