Etana takes her tour to smaller venues, returning to California to perform at Deja Blue.
Etana’s story began in a place she considers a breeding ground for musicians: Kingston, Jamaica. Born there as Shauna McKenzie, her 2008 debut album The Strong One is a proclamation of who she is and who she no longer is, and her works have continued to express life’s changes. There is an inner strength and resilience throughout.

Top Chefs in San Jose
San Francisco’s Top Chefs have figured out how to make hip-hop, jazz, R&B and soul coexist without anyone getting into an argument about what genre they’re actually playing.
