The Abbey

The Abbey is a 100-person all-ages acoustic music venue and community space in downtown Santa Cruz at 350 Mission Street, a listening room in the truest sense where the music is the entire point. The programming focuses on acoustic performances and the community-first ethos that runs through the place creates an environment where performers and audience are genuinely present with each other. There is no pretense and no noise. Just a room, a musician, and the people who showed up to listen.
