Thea the band, led by musician Thea Tochihara, performed a set of original songs at a Pacific View Sessions event at the Pacific View Arts Center in Encinitas. The program, hosted by DJ Rube of Not So Serious Radio, is a City of Encinitas series designed to showcase artists from the local music scene.

"This is DJ Rube, and I'm the host of Not So Serious Radio on KKSM out of Palomar College," the host said while opening the session. The evening included an extended opening performance and several songs introduced by Tochihara, including an unreleased track and a set drawn from her growing catalog. Thea described songwriting as a way to make listeners "feel they have a little more confidence" and to turn personal heartache into something connective.

Tochihara drew from varied influences in the set and introduced songs with brief remarks about their themes, from dealing with regret to reframing unmet expectations. The event closed with thanks and a note that Thea would continue performing across the local circuit.
