Jeff Bridges at Discovery February 28, 2016<\/p><\/div>\n

Ventura\u2019s music community is not only comprised of talented artists, but the people who support live music are just as important to the scene.\u00a0 When we lost Chris Pinger of the band Malice Thoughts, his friends quickly pulled together a fundraiser to help Pinger\u2019s family with the cost of his funeral. The fundraising event will be held at Bombay\u2019s on Saturday, February 20, with a silent auction and other ways to make a donation.\u00a0 Bands on the bill include his former bandmates in Malice Thoughts, The Kane Gang, Grim, The NaVaNaX, and Civil Conflict.\u00a0 Chris lost his life while being driven by a drunk driver, a somber reminder to all of us to not drink and drive, to not get in the car with someone else who has been drinking, and to think ahead about alternative ways of getting home safely.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t want to miss an evening of music and conversation with Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges February 28 at Discovery.\u00a0 Seriously, how can you pass up an evening with \u201cThe Dude\u201d and in a bowling alley no less?<\/p>\n

Jerry Vivino, the bandleader for the Conan O\u2019Brien Show returns to the Squashed Grapes Saturday, February 20.<\/p>\n

Saturday, February 27 at the Garage on the east end of town will play host to one rockin\u2019 punk show featuring The Dickies with Ill Repute and Mothers of Dissension. You should remember the Dickies, \u201cStuck in a Pagoda with Tricia Toyota\u201d and other quirky punk tunes.<\/p>\n

If swing is your thing, then you\u2019ll want to dress up and be a part of the Speakeasy Swing Dance with The Barrelhouse Wailers on Saturday, February 20 at the Ventura Beach Club. The event will kick off with swing dance lessons with Kim Clever and David Frutos at 8 pm and then the band follows 9 to midnight.<\/p>\n

Dan Grimm\u2019s song, \u201cPeachy Keen\u201d was played on the \u201cNew Girl\u201d show staring Zooey Deschanel this month.<\/p>\n

Joy Burnworth who has been playing a number of gigs here in Ventura the past few months including one at Grapes and Hops recently received the fantastic news that she\u2019s the new lead singer for Jefferson Starship starting initially as a first sub for Cathy Richerdson who had apparently quit the band last year.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Ventura County Blues Society\u2019s Delgado Brothers for winning the Memphis challenge.\u00a0 The band took the top prize this past month beating out 250 other bands from all over the world.\u00a0 Last year our very own Crooked Eye Tommy made it to the semifinals.<\/p>\n

And speaking of Crooked Eye Tommy, the newest episode of Ventura Rocks on CAPS Media is now airing featuring Crooked Eye Tommy. There\u2019s a link to the show on VenturaRocks.com as well as being on the schedule this month on CAPS Media.<\/p>\n
