Don’t miss a rare live performance from Midtown Modern, a Ventura-grown indie band whose songs shimmer with emotion, grit, and grace. Featuring Henry Stewart (guitar, vocals), Michelle Bird (bass, guitar), Erin Kim (keyboards), and Michael Fink (drums), this four-piece delivers a layered, soul-stirring sound that’s as delightful as it is devastating.
From haunting ballads about broken hearts and promises, to groove-driven meditations on distance and longing, Midtown Modern weaves poetic lyrics with dynamic instrumentation. Stewart’s songwriting—sometimes solo, sometimes in partnership with Bird—is the heart of the band’s emotional palette, with each member adding texture and mood in their own way.
Expect songs that are hopeful, wistful, and raw—performed in the intimate acoustics of one of Ventura’s most cherished venues.
This special show is part of a community fundraiser to support the continued magic of Namba Performing Arts Space. Come out, hear something beautiful, and be part of keeping the arts alive downtown.
