Beth Bombara In The Friendly Listening Room

NEW! Our first Friendly Listening Room concert in the Friendly Community Room with Beth Bombara on Friday, May 15th. It speaks to the depth of her musicianship that Beth Bombara played guitar and percussion in one band, bass in another project, and keys in yet another. So, just in case you weren’t aware – Bombara has talent and ears way beyond those of your average singer-songwriter. On this tour Beth is performing solo acoustic, which is perfect for The Friendly Listening Room. Tickets start at $20. 100% of ticket/door sales are paid to the artist.
Doors open at 7 PM and music starts at 8 PM.
