Slide into summer with Saturday Night Jive, an electric fundraiser fueling NAMBA’s mission to enrich our coastal community through the power of live performance. On Friday, July 12 at 7 p.m., Ventura’s most intimate arts hub transforms into a sonic playground led by three SoCal stand-outs: soulful showman Steve Apperson, funk-flavored crooner Nick Jay, and velvet-toned indie darling Emma Hamilton. They’re joined by an all-star cast of Listening Room favorites—Dr. Blues, Shirly Yunome, and Miles Better—ready to trade riffs, stories, and feel-good vibes.

With a suggested $10 donation, you’re not just scoring an evening of genre-bending roots, blues, and rock—you’re investing in the 805’s fearless cultural playground.
