Gregory Page snagged Album of the Year and Best Pop Album at the 30th annual San Diego Music Awards this week.

His “One Hell of a Memory” disc received the dual honors, while Rebecca Jade won Song of the Year for her collaboration with Jason Mraz, Miki Vale and Veronica May on “Bad Wolves.”

Jade said she was “beyond humbled, grateful and thankful” in an Instagrm post following the show.

Organizers hosted the ceremony Tuesday on the outdoor concert stage at Humphreys by the Bay.

Proceeds from the event fund the San Diego Music Foundation’s Guitars for Schools program, which will receive almost $54,000 this year, organizers announced.
