Doors Open @ 7PM

Mike Pinto is a true storyteller who captivates fans around the world with his undeniably distinct voice and exceptional songwriting. Born and raised in the outskirts of Philadelphia, Pinto has become a prominent fixture in the Southern California music scene after living in San Diego for the past ten years. His gritty East Coast perspective of life, blended with the laid-back California lifestyle, creates a dichotomy that is uniquely original. Pinto's newest album, Hotel Rendezvous, debuted at #4 on ITunes Singer-Songwriter charts, and was nominated as one of 2018’s Best World Music Albums by the San Diego Music Awards. It was his 6th release, while his previous records have topped the iTunes Reggae and Billboard Reggae charts, debuting at #1 and #2 respectively. Constantly evolving as an artist and songwriter, Pinto's songs are both deeply personal and widely relatable. His popularity spreads beyond the continental United States, with radio plays in Japan, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, and live performances in Guam, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. He has toured nationally with such bands as Iration, Black Uhuru, The Aggrolites, Long Beach Dub All Stars, and Ballyhoo! Mike is putting the finishing touches on a new record, tentatively called “Mischief Nite”, due out in early 2022.
