A Songwriter’s Open Mic
Hosted by Ventura’s beloved troubadour, Henry Stewart
Join us for an enchanting evening of acoustic melodies and lyrical storytelling at NAMBA’s Listening Room! This special event shines the spotlight on both local and visiting talent, offering songwriters a professional yet intimate stage to share their original work—and perhaps one cherished cover song—in front of an appreciative, attentive audience.
Doors open at 6 PM, giving you plenty of time to mingle, relax, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of our community. At 6:45 PM, Ventura’s own Henry Stewart, known for his heartfelt and evocative songwriting, kicks things off and sets the perfect mood for a night of musical inspiration.
Each performer gets 10 minutes in the spotlight, supported by NAMBA’s exceptional sound system, microphones, direct-in jacks, monitors, and our beautiful house grand piano. Drinks will be available for purchase, adding to the warmth and camaraderie of the evening.
This event is a community fundraiser, and donations are gratefully accepted to support NAMBA Performing Arts Space.
Bring your songs, your heart, and your ears—experience the magic of authentic music. Please consider a $10 donation.
