Shawn, Shane and Paulo

Surf the soulful side of Southern California when NAMBA Performing Arts Center lights up downtown Ventura with a triple-bill that’s pure sonic sunshine. Roots-rock road warrior Shawn Jones rolls in fresh from 200-plus annual shows across the US and Europe, armed with the gritty guitar fireworks and honey-smoked vocals that have earned him stages alongside B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, and Robert Cray. Sharing the spotlight is honey-toned indie-folk storyteller Shane Alexander, whose cinematic melodies and intimate tenor have filled Red Rocks, The Ryman, and playlists worldwide (30 million streams and counting). Rounding out the night, Portugal-born, NYC-forged multi-instrumentalist Paulo Coelho channels globe-trotting funk-pop energy—refined on tours with Prince, George Clinton, and Maroon 5—into an uplifting set that turns every seat into a dance-floor. Three distinct voices, one intimate room: prepare for blistering solos, goose-bump harmonies, and West Coast vibes that remind us why NAMBA’s mission is “enriching community through the power of performance.” Grab your tickets, feel the Ventura sea breeze, and let the music carry you home.
