Is there a way to extract/print *just* the event month name (ex: January), and/or the event day individually?
The purpose being I want to create a custom layout of upcoming events and want to style and place separately the month and the day/date for each event.
I am using custom post types and a custom loop now to display the upcoming 5 events. I use the $event_date to display the date but it prints the entire string.
Is this possible?

If you are using the page_event_list.php template, look up at line 61, where the $event_date variable gets created:
$event_date = do_shortcode('[EVENT_TIME event_id="'.$event_id.'" type="start_date" format="l, F j, Y"]'); // change the date format if you so desire http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
You could put a couple lines in right after that to create $event_month and $event_day variables as well:
$event_month = do_shortcode('[EVENT_TIME event_id="'.$event_id.'" type="start_date" format="F"]');
$event_day = do_shortcode('[EVENT_TIME event_id="'.$event_id.'" type="start_date" format="j"]');
