\"Calire's<\/a>I seriously can\u2019t remember a year with more music bursting at the seams than this past year, and we\u2019re only about two thirds done! Coming events, and starting on the water, the Ventura Harbor is capitalizing on all this great weather by bringing back the popular Rock on the Dock series every Saturday in September. Still to come on the 20th is Smokey and Friends and the 27th The Hard Times Band.<\/p>\n

The 2014 California Beer Festival is finally upon us. I\u2019m looking forward to learning all about craft beer on Saturday the 20 while chillin\u2019 to Petty Theft, Dr. M and Rey Fresco; and then on Sunday, the 21, it\u2019s the Blues & BBQ Festival with Tab Benoit, Trampled Under Foot, Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds, Michael John & the Bottom Line as well as Jonathon Boogie Long. I\u2019ll be out selling Ventura Rocks t-shirts on Sunday, so be sure to swing by and hang a spell.<\/p>\n

A free family-friendly night of music featuring music from popular radio and Broadway will be held at the Ventura Theater on September 19 and 21 featuring Loanne Wullaert with vocal support from some of the county\u2019s best vocalists including Aaron Orbit and Marcella Tambouris. Look for numbers from Les Miserables, A Star is Born, Frozen, Dreamgirls and more. In between the two nights being called \u201cSeptember Song\u201d will be The White Buffalo on the 20th. See VenturaTheater.net for times.<\/p>\n

The good folks from Zoey\u2019s have officially kicked off their new music venture in the form of Ones to Watch Productions. Steve and Polly Hoganson continue their support of up and coming artists as they produce local showcases. The next one will be Friday, October 3, at Bombay Bar and Grill with The Lee Koch Band, Derek Jennings and Zeke Berkley. For more information see OnesToWatchProductions.com.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite blues singers with some serious spunk is Kelly Zirbes who has this never ending contagious energy about her. She\u2019s always there when a helping hand is needed and it\u2019s always a treat to see Kelly along with her husband Perry Robertson and their band Kelly\u2019s Lot perform. She\u2019s sure to make you laugh, but more than that, the band will get you up off your tush jamming to their special brand of rockin\u2019 blues. Kelly\u2019s Lot CD release party for their latest CD, \u201cDon\u2019t Give My Blues Away\u201d will be held on Friday, September 19, at Yolies with a $10 cover. If you\u2019re not able to make it, you\u2019ll want to add this one to your collection for sure. Visit KellysLot.com to pick one up today.<\/p>\n

And finally, just a quick little anecdote: While hanging out with Jimmy Calire the other night at Squashed Grapes, I knew the Hammond B3 organ he had brought in for the show that evening with Karl Hunter had some stories behind it, but none could be cooler than the one he share with me that evening where he would be jamming on it with his band, Raven at The Session in the Theater District in New York City and Jimi Hendrix would jump up on stage and join in the action. Seriously, how cool is that? This town has such an abundance of talent and history reinforcing what I\u2019ve always said, Ventura Rocks!<\/p>\n
