\"Kevin<\/a><\/p>\n

It was pretty cool catching the Numbskull Show on a rainy Wednesday night in the backroom at Bombay\u2019s with Kevin Seconds from 7 Seconds sharing an acoustic evening with Steve Soto (Agent Orange and The Adolescents) and Russ Rankin (Good Riddance).\u00a0 Kevin\u2019s three-week tour in support of his new release, Off Stockton, kicked off in Ventura.\u00a0 Rankin told me he\u2019ll be performing the first four dates and the last three dates with Kevin. The night had the three as solo performers – just the artist and their acoustic guitar – and though there were some missteps from Soto, it was pretty cool when he just laughed it off like the true punk rocker he is.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking forward to catching Karl Hunter of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy as he returns to Squashed Grapes for another show on Saturday, March 22.\u00a0 In what is being called the Karl Hunter Organ\u2019ic Quartet, Karl will have the legendary Jimmy Calire who toured for several years with America on keyboards, Mario Calire from the Wallflowers and Ozomatli on drums and guitar player extraordinaire Hans Ottsen will round out the quartet.\u00a0 Tickets are $10 and you should get them in advance at the Grape as this one is sure to sell out fast.<\/p>\n

Technicolor Tone Factory out of Boulder, CO, will be making their debut in Southern California area with a free show at Green Art People on Wednesday, March 12.\u00a0 According to Taylor Frederick, TTF isn\u2019t a jam band that rocks, but rather a rock band that jams.\u00a0 I took a listen on SoundCloud, and trust me, the band rocks.<\/p>\n

St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations officially kick off with the City\u2019s annual parade on Saturday, March 15.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019ll be hitching a ride on Kat Merrick\u2019s Totally Local VC float where Dan Grimm and other artists will be performing live along with Jon Reese of Amigos on air guitar, as we cruise down Main Street.\u00a0 Give us a shout out when we pass by!<\/p>\n

And of course you are officially invited to help Ventura Rocks celebrate our 5th Anniversary with a huge St. Patrick\u2019s Day party at Bombay\u2019s on the 17th with first Irish music from the Lousy Drunken Uncles at 6:00, then it will Rey Fresco making this the hottest party in town.
