This year we couldn’t be more proud to partner with Honor Flight Southland as our designated philanthropy, an organizaƟon I had been involved in for over a decade Being able to introduce the Nashville style singer songwriter rounds to our community has been a dream, but everyone knows free is not free. We’re honored that the Seal Beach Chamber stepped up as Ɵtle sponsor this year, and together, we plan to fill our venues to the brim. Thanks for joining us on our journey, we hope you’ll have as good of a Ɵme as we did working on this labor of love . Daren de Leon Founder
