Ventura Music Guide

Ventura Calendar of Events

Live music in Ventura!

VenturaRocks.com is Ventura's online music entertainment guide. Be it live or Memorex, you'll find all things music for this amazing town featuring incredible artists and musicians. We list everything from Karaoke joints to punk shows to down and dirty blues as well as the finest jazz jams.

Here's the deal. We want to make this town the next Austin or Seattle. We have so much talent and an abundance of venues to see them in. It really isn't that far-fetched. All we really needed was a one-stop reference to see what's what. We have also vowed to never charge the artists and to never charge the venues to be listed on our website.

You'll want to stop by weekly to see what's going on and again check in the nights you'll be hitting the town as we're always adding more shows as they come in.

And just so you know, we love 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!
