Music has the power to move us—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. For SunSquabi—Kevin Donohue [guitar, keys, production], Josh Fairman [bass, synth], and Scotty Zwang [drums]—that power lives in the unspoken language they share on stage and in the studio. With millions of streams and high-energy performances at venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, they’ve carved out a space where electronic production, jam-band freedom, and funk-rooted grooves collide.

Now, the Colorado-based trio turns the page with their most defining release yet: a self-titled album that reintroduces SunSquabi in their purest form. More than a record, SunSquabi is a creative reset—a declaration of who they are now, and where they're headed next.

“This is the most honest version of us,” says Donohue. “It felt right to make it self-titled, because we’ve grown into something new—and we wanted to mark that.”

The album follows a strong run of EPs (Cloudburst and Grind) that saw the band evolving through collaboration, improvisation, and reinvention. Tracks often began as live jams—many from their livestream sessions during the pandemic—and grew into fully fleshed-out songs that reflect both discipline and spontaneity.

Ring in the Season will feature traditional Christmas and Hannuka songs as well as songs from around the world.

Journey Through the Chakras ~
Join us for a journey toward wholeness, vitality, and deep inner peace. Each of us carries a quiet map within — a pathway of energy centers that shape and influence the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our lives: how we feel, move, connect, and grow. The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means ‘wheel’, as the chakras are seen as spinning wheels of energy within our bodies that can be influenced by how we live our lives. Our Chakra Flow Sound Journey Series has explored these inner landscapes, one by one — from root to crown — through simple, integrative practices to — help you understand the strengths, signals, and what helps bring them into balance.

Tonight, for our last class in the Chakra Flow Series, we will journey through each of the 7 Chakras and beyond - into the celestial realm of the Soul Star Chakra, the 8th Chakra.

Learn and experience simple and effective ways to realign, restore, and sustain your inner flow and balance for optimal well-being.

NAMBA is excited to welcome back one of Ventura’s most beloved holiday traditions! Join us for a joyful reunion, revival, and rebirth of Clara Cries Nuts, the Nutcracker-inspired parody that has delighted audiences for over two decades.

This special event features a curated screening of clips spanning all eight versions of Clara Cries Nuts; libations and sweet treats to celebrate the season; a full showing of Nocturnal Episode #8 — the final iteration performed during NAMBA’s very first holiday season in 2015.

Episode #8 includes memorable performances such as:
