Nash Nites:Santa Barbara Songwriter Series To Feature Sarah Buxton, Luke Dick, More

/by

“Nash Nites:Santa Barbara,” an intimate new songwriter series at the newly reimagined The Ellwood at Goleta Beach will take place Aug. 22 and Oct. 3.

Created by the team behind the Sac Song & Wine Series, “Nash Nites” expands that concept, taking it to other regions and destination cities, bringing audiences closer to the music through an intimate listening-room type experience. At Nash Nites:Santa Barbara, guests will enjoy a unique evening of live music, storytelling, coastal hospitality, and breathtaking ocean views in one of Santa Barbara County’s most spectacular settings, The Break at The Ellwood.

Aug. 22 will feature acclaimed songwriters Marv Green and Sarah Buxton. Green’s catalog includes hits such as “Amazed” by Lonestar, “Wasted” by Carrie Underwood, “True” by George Strait and “Who I Am With You” by Chris Young. Buxton has written songs including “Stupid Boy” by Keith Urban, “Sun Daze” by Florida Georgia Line, “That’s Why I Pray” by Big & Rich and “Pieces” by Gary Allan. Together, they will bring an evening filled with hits, stories from the road, and a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process that transforms ideas into chart-topping records.

On Oct. 3 Ben Williams and Luke Dick are set to perform. Williams has penned songs including “Tennessee Orange” and “6 Months Later” by Megan Moroney, as well as cuts by Kenny Chesney, Ed Sheeran, Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert. Among other cuts, Dick was a co-writer on Ella Langley’s ACM Award-winning hit “Choosin’ Texas,” which was recognized as both Song of the Year and Single of the Year at the 2026 ACM Awards. Known for his wit, storytelling, and catalog, he brings an unforgettable blend of humor, heart, and behind-the-scenes insight to every performance. California based singer-songwriter Ava Lynn will be opening both shows.

Tickets will go on sale July 6 here.
