Emily Afton is a California-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, DJ, and performer known for her signature blend of “queer emo-pop” — a sound NPR calls “wonderful, wonderful electro-pop that’s weary of life, but still positive.” With roots in both Oakland and San Diego, Afton channels a wide range of influences from Fiona Apple and Frank Ocean to Robyn and Elliott Smith, weaving together emotion, grit, and lush production. Her breakout feminist anthem “The Veil” earned her a performance slot at the San Francisco Women’s March and placements on TV shows including The CW’s Batwoman and Riverdale. Emily is born and raised in Encinitas and we are excited to have her back to the listening lounge.

*Performing Upstairs in Haven (note that the upstairs farm to table restaurant is closed on Tuesday nights, and instead the bar is open with free live music and multiple food options downstairs available. Huerta Tacos has a special for 3 tacos and a beer for $20 and the new Fox Point Pizza option is incredible. Fresh salads and sandwiches also available in the Harvest Market)
