Indie rock band The Elements are honored to participate in Passport to Encinitas, Saturday, Aug. 22, in support of the local art community. A virtual event, it starts at 5 p.m., and The Elements perform at 6 p.m.

“We are supporting our local artists and businesses through the Passport to Encinitas event and would like The Elements to represent a younger audience,” said Encinitas Friends of the Arts founder Naimeh Woodward.

Hosted by The City of Encinitas and Encinitas Friends of the Arts, Passport to Encinitas is a fundraiser designed to raise awareness of the arts and celebrate the diversity in Encinitas and throughout San Diego County. This thoughtfully curated event will showcase live music, visual art and dance.

The Elements will debut their new song “Dazed” and play a combination of originals as well as covers. Their original music spans genres from alternative rock to indie pop. The Elements also play covers of songs from bands such as The Beatles, Talking Heads, and Fitz and the Tantrums. Their broad musical range is sure to appeal to all ages.

A 2019 graduate, singer/bassist Julian Boyer will be a sophomore at California Polytechnic State University, San Louis Obispo, Calif., where he is majoring in graphic communication, minoring in psychology, and a leader for Week of Welcome.
