Good Vibes on the Greens: Jam in the Van Joins The Penmar Sunset Sessions

CAMPBELL WELLMAN PENMAR SUNSET SESSIONS JAM IN THE VAN

We are currently cruising through Season 6 of the legendary Sunset Sessions at The Penmar, and this week, the ultimate outdoor neighborhood ritual is leveling up. This Friday, the world-famous mobile recording studio and music discovery channel Jam in the Van is rolling onto the lush greens of the Venice/Mar Vista border for an absolute blockbuster of an evening.

If you've been waiting for the perfect excuse to round up your neighbors, throw down a picnic blanket, and watch the sun dip behind the Santa Monica Mountains, this is your sign.

The Itinerary: Live Recording Sessions Meet the Main Stage

This isn't your average backyard live music gig. Jam in the Van is turning the golf course into an active, open-air studio, blending intimate live tracking with a massive festival energy. Here is how the afternoon and evening map out:

  • The Van Sessions (Starting at 4:00 PM): Get to the fairway early to watch the magic happen. Jam in the Van will be hosting exclusive, live-recorded sessions featuring five unique artists inside the van throughout the afternoon.

  • The Main Stage Lineup: Once the golden hour hits, the focus shifts to the big stage on the lawn:

    • 6:00 PM: The soulful Americana and raw storytelling of Will Worden (@godspeedwarrior).

    • 7:30 PM: The high-energy, rock-infused grooves of Johnny Marfa & The Lights (@johnnymarfaandthelights).

An Elevated Touch: The Hampton Water Suite

For those looking to experience the evening with a premium upgrade, the event is featuring the Hampton Water Sunset Sessions Suite Entrance.

Access to this exclusive, dedicated space on the fairway is open to all Sunset Sessions Season Pass holders, or anyone who purchases a bottle of Hampton Water Rosé either online in advance or right at the suite door. It's the perfect crisp, seasonal pour to pair with a classic Westside sunset.

The Campbell Wellman Take

What makes The Penmar so special—and why it has become the true heartbeat of our local community—is its effortless ability to bring people together. It has completely reimagined how a public space can serve a neighborhood. Transitioning from a casual local golf course by day into a vibrant, family-friendly cultural hub by night is pure Westside magic.

 

Bringing a globally recognized brand like Jam in the Van onto our homegrown turf is a brilliant intersection of the creative culture Venice is known for. Grab a low-profile U-shaped chair, secure your tickets, and we'll see you on the green. (Tickets)
