Join us for the City of Rancho Santa Margarita's Annual New Year's Eve Event! This year, we're marking the 25th Birthday of this cherished tradition with an unforgettable evening of fun and community spirit featuring talented local musicians:


Blind Melody

Lily Gabora, also known as "Blind Melody," is a self-taught singer, songwriter, and pianist who has used music as a way to connect and inspire. Born blind due to a rare inherited eye disorder and living with epilepsy, she has channeled life's challenges into her art, creating songs that are both personal and relatable.

Music has been a constant in Lily's life, helping her express herself and share her story with others. She has performed the national anthem at Angels games four times, showcasing her talent and love for performing.

Through her voice and piano, Lily continues to share her passion for music and prove that creativity and determination can overcome any obstacle.

Tamsen Hughes

Known for her powerhouse vocals and performances alongside legends like Lita Ford and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Tamsen will take the stage for a special solo set backed by The 5150s.

The 5150s 

The 5150s are a band known for their soulful vocals, skilled musicianship, and entertaining stage presence. For over 15 years, they’ve been a staple in Rancho Santa Margarita, performing for the community and delivering shows that keep audiences coming back.

RSM resident Elliot Battle leads the band, one of Southern California’s top guitarists. Inspired by legends like Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and B.B. King, Elliot’s playing has been praised by Alligator Records as "exciting" and full of energy.

With their mix of great music and lively performances, The 5150s bring a fun and memorable experience to every stage they play.
