SUMMARY:Coat and Comfort Drive
DESCRIPTION:Share the warmth. Spread the comfort. \nCoats keep people warm. Blankets help people rest. And shoes… shoes carry people through the hardest parts of winter. \nCoats\, blankets and shoes make immediate impact. A warm coat protects someone from the cold. A clean blanket brings comfort at night. And shoes keep their feet warm and dry. Shelters and outreach teams hand them out constantly because people depend on them every day. \nShoes are the essential many people overlook during these colder months. They wear down fast for anyone spending hours outdoors or walking long distances to reach basic services. When a pair gives out\, there is no backup waiting in a closet. That is why suitable and durable shoes are one of the most requested items in colder months. \nThe Frontwave Give360 Coat and Comfort Drive helps meet these essential needs and reminds us how much we can do together. Join us from December 1 through January 16 and help keep our neighbors warm\, protected and cared for this winter. \nWhat We Need \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWARM COATS\n\n\n\nA warm\, everyday coat that keeps someone protected from the cold.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLEAN BLANKETS\n\n\n\nA clean blanket that provides warmth and simple comfort when it’s needed the most.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDURABLE SHOES\n\n\n\nPractical shoes built for real miles: sneakers\, walking shoes or sturdy boots.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Donate \n\nDrop off new or gently used coats\, blankets and shoes at any Frontwave branch.\nBring donations to Frontwave Arena on event days or to the box office Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.\nMake a tax-deductible financial donation online and we will purchase the items needed most.\n\nEasy ways to find what to donate: \n\nIf you haven’t worn it in a while or have been saving it for “someday\,” now is the moment to pass it on.\nCheck closets for outgrown kids’ coats or blankets you’ve replaced.\nTake advantage of seasonal sales to grab an extra coat or pair of shoes.\nChoose items that are clean and in good condition so they can be used right away.\n\nEverything you share helps someone stay warm\, protected and cared for this winter. \nWho Your Donation Supports \nThe Frontwave Give360 Coat and Comfort Drive teams up with nonprofit partners across San Diego\, Imperial\, Riverside and San Bernardino counties to help more people stay warm and cared for this winter.

SUMMARY:Taryn Donath
DESCRIPTION:An accomplished musician who has been performing professionally for over 25 years\, Taryn has an incredibly commanding performance style….each live performance is exciting and spontaneous. Her piano playing is tenacious and purposeful\, while her voice is smooth\, sultry\, and unique to her. Taryn lights up the stage every\ntime she plays. \nCurrently\, Taryn has been performing as a duo with a drummer… Fresh\, unique and exciting the two play anything from 60’s soul jazz\, funk\, jump/swing\, Latin\, and their own term of beatnik blues taking the listener on a musical adventure.

The two are not bound by rules\, but instead have a desire to express their own musical voice and deliver something captivating. \n“I look forward to creating something unique each time I play.”- Taryn

SUMMARY:José James presents 1978: Revenge of The Dragon
DESCRIPTION:Jose James\n\nJosé James is both conductor and conduit. Across 17 years as a singer\, songwriter\, bandleader\,\nand producer — not to mention co-head of the fearless Rainbow Blonde Records since 2018 —\nhe’s dived deep\, over and over again\, into genres\, eras\, scenes\, and songbooks\, exploring with\nthe verve of a reverent musicologist\, and then churning it all up with the confidence of a master\npractitioner. Blessed with a silken baritone that sounds classic against any backdrop\, James first\nturned heads on his 2008 debut The Dreamer by subtly swirling contemporary jazz with hip-hop\ninstrumentation. As it turned out\, mixing those two fluid\, frenetic\, and frequently time-travelling\nstrains set off a deeply soulful discography that knows no bounds. There was his stunning Blue\nNote breakthrough No Beginning No End (2013)\, recorded with fellow genre upsetters like Pino\nPalladino and Robert Glasper. There was an album of standards\, For All We Know (2010); the\nrock-addled While You Were Sleeping (2014); and that time he ditched the bands and became a\nmodern R&B star for Love in a Time of Madness (2017). He’s also taken a Method approach to\ncovers projects — even matching his wardrobe to his subjects’ worlds — like 2015’s Yesterday I\nHad the Blues (Billie Holiday)\, 2018’s Lean On Me (Bill Withers)\, and 2023’s On & On (Erykah\nBadu). He’s released dynamic live LPs\, a Christmas set\, and a four-album series inspired by\nhooky\, funky\, disco-dipped songcraft of the ’70s\, culminating in his latest\, 1978: Revenge of the\nDragon (2025). That last one is as immediate\, unpredictable\, and vibrant as anything James\nhas made\, affirming the mantra in the lead single’s title: “They Sleep\, We Grind.”
