We’re excited to welcome Carbon City Lights to South SLO County Womenade’s first-ever Benefit Concert + Potluck Fundraiser on August 22nd starting at 3:30 PM in Arroyo Grande.
Carbon City Lights is a Central Coast indie alt-rock band blending atmospheric guitars, soaring vocals, and emotionally driven songwriting into powerful live performances rooted in warmth and connection. Fronted by singer-songwriter Michael Venia, the band moves between energetic alt-rock anthems and intimate, reflective moments — all with authenticity at the center of it all.
