Ventura Music Guide

Ventura Calendar of Events

Live music in Ventura!
 

We're into VenturaRocks.com's FOURTH year online. 
Thank you for your continued support!!! 
Let us know how we're doing.

Ventura now has an online resource for an easy to find music entertainment guide.
It's time that the Ventura community has a one-stop online resource for finding where music can be found, be live or Memorex.  Ventura Rocks features live music from the Ventura Theatre to Karaoke at Billy O's to DJs spinning the tunes at Bombay Bar and Grill.  Stop by weekly to VenturaRocks.com to see what's going on in our city. 
Ventura Rocks does not charge bands or the these venues to be listed on our website. We want to help make a difference in our community by promoting music and...as a result, our local economy. 
Ventura Rocks covers all music genres from jazz to punk rock.
Local artists from Ventura to Santa Barbara are welcomed to submit their itineraries for the city of Ventura gigs. We know fans want to support their favorite bands! Contact us for more information.  We'll also post links to your official website.
Ventura venues will also be highlighted. You may find a new place to try out or perhaps rediscover an old stomping ground. Did we miss one? Let us know!
And, Ventura Rocks loves to help make a difference. When we hear of a fundraising event - involving music - we'll make an extra effort to give it an extra push. If you know of an event coming up, give us a head's up
