Feb 02, 2026February 12: Pop-Up at The 513!
Join us on February 12 for a special return engagement at The 513 as we feature Mile faves Ben Mulwana and Sam Ness along with very special guest Jessica Willis Fisher, a Gibson Music Hall fave! This event will be an “encore” of one of our top Mile of Music venues (as voted on by our festival attendees) — The 513 listening room stage — and will include the Mile Team teaming up with The 513 staff to share a very special evening of stories and song. Making things even more special for this “Halfway to The Mile Pop-Up” (well, halfway-ish) showcase is that we’ll experience a rare full-band, acoustic (largely unplugged) performance to finish the evening from Ben Mulwana & The Village. Sam Ness will host the evening along with our friend Scottie Stueck, whom you’ll recognize as the Venue Host at The 513 during Mile! Doors will open at 6 pm with show starting at 6:45 for this all-seated, all-listening show. Seating will be assigned based on the timing of tickets purchased, with upfront seating assigned by show staff to the first buyers. Premier Music-Makers receive a free ticket for this show, with Deluxe Music Makers receiving a $10 discount from the $20 general admission price. Learn more and grab your tickets today!
