\"Everclear<\/a>

Everclear at the Ventura Theater November 22, 2015.<\/p><\/div>\n

Everclear\u2019s 20th anniversary tour featuring their release, \u201cSparkle and Fade\u201d was well received Sunday, November 22 at the Ventura Theater; but with that being said, the crowd was extremely happy to hear other tunes as well from the band including the final songs of the night, \u201dFather of Mine\u201d and \u201cSanta Monica.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s time to confront the fact that the holidays are officially here. Bombay\u2019s will be inspiring people to get out the night before Thanksgiving by providing two stages of music: up front it\u2019s Tommy Marsh and the Session with a four hour blues jam being billed as biggest night in their four year history, and in the back room it\u2019s Shaky Feelin\u2019 and Nine Mile Skid.<\/p>\n

As for the night after you\u2019ve spent time with the family, you can work out the pent up frustrations at Sans Souci where you can find one hell of a punk show with F.S.K.D, Filios, We are the Underclass and Malice Thoughts.\u00a0 But on the off chance you\u2019re looking for something a little tamer (and perhaps you enjoyed the time with family) you might want to check out the Jim Hendrix Birthday tribute at Squashed Grapes.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to get into the Christmas spirit, then there\u2019s nothing like a Toy Drive for underprivileged kids coupled with an evening of great Blues to do the trick. The 15th annual 4 Kids 2 Kids Toy Drive will be held Sunday, December 6 at the Ventura Beach Club. $15 and an unwrapped toy gets you Deb Ryder, Kelly Zirbes, Donna Greene, Shari Puorto, and tons of other artists including honorary guest Nick St. Nicolas (Steppenwolf).<\/p>\n

There are two workshops worth mentioning for local musicians as they are most likely to sell out and both are being held at the Pierpont Inn in January.\u00a0 The first is \u201cDown to the Crossroads\u201d five-day Blues guitar and bass retreat January 19-23 (www.Down2TheCrossroads.com) and then it\u2019s Jon Gindick\u2019s Blues Harmonica Jam Camp which runs January 26 \u2013 30 (www.BluesHarmonicaJamCamp.com).\u00a0 You can step up your game and move up to the next level with intensive instruction in an inspiring environment!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, it\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to catch Kinky Friedman and his unique brand of storytelling in an intimate setting at the Livery (Ventura Improv Theater) on December 4.\u00a0 He\u2019ll be sharing songs from his latest CD, \u201cThe Loneliest Man I Ever Met.\u201d Ticket information at www.OnesToWatchProductions.com.<\/p>\n

And finally, one of my favorite events of the year, the Winter Wine Walk will once again shut down Main Street Downtown Ventura for what is touted as the World\u2019s Largest Wine Walk.\u00a0 Musical entertainment by The Road Brothers, SayReal, Paradium and the Bomb. Ticket information can be found at www.VenturaWinterWineWalk.com<\/p>\n
