High at the top of my list of things to do over the next few weeks is the Topa Topa Folk Fest being held at the beautiful Libbey Bowl in Ojai on Saturday, October 1. Ticket sales have been brisk, which is great because I\u2019d love to see this one sell out as it also helps to benefit the Turning Point Foundation. Headlining the folk fest will be Jake Smith better known as The White Buffalo whose music has been featured on such TV shows as \u201cSons of Anarchy\u201d and \u201cCalifornication.\u201d I\u2019m also excited to see Grizfolk after watching local talent Brendon Willing share his adventures via social media after joining the band over a year ago. Actually, the whole lineup is pretty cool with Jaime Wyatt, Todd Hannigan, Shane Alexander, Lee Koch, Bryan Titus and so many more talented folks. Find out more at www.OnesToWatchProductions.com. You can help make a difference while enjoying a great day of music, hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

Another Turning Point Foundation fundraising was held at the Traveler\u2019s Caf\u00e9 on Thursday, September 22 when Shawn Jones entertained the room. It was the perfect opportunity for people to check out one of Ventura\u2019s newest restaurants offering up live acoustic music on select days. Shawn by the way heads back to Europe the first week in October for about a month with shows in Italy and Ireland.<\/p>\n

The highly anticipated return of Cirth Ungol (their first show in 25 years) is finally upon us as they headline Frost and Fire II at the Ventura Theater on October 8, and to sweeten the deal even further, Metal Blade Records released the band\u2019s classic \u201cParadise Lost\u201d on CD and vinyl. Frost and Fire II actually spans three days (October 7-9) and three venues (Bombay\u2019s, Sans Souci and the Ventura Theater). This heavy metal festival isn\u2019t for the light of heart and will most likely sell out (Day one already sold out at press time). To get the full line up of bands and schedules go to www.FrostAndFireFest.com.<\/p>\n

Plan B will be celebrating their 4th anniversary with their popular Second Sunday Supper for October (on the 9th), featuring The Vonettes. The venue is also working on Friday nights for live music on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Squashed Grapes is excited to welcome Ronnie Hudson on Saturday, October 8. Hudson is most notable for his hit song \u201cWest Coast Poplock\u201d which would later appear on Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur\u2019s song, \u201cCalifornia Love\u201d and Snoop Dogg\u2019s \u201cPoplock 2\u201d. Hudson also played bass on the legendary Grammy-winning soundtrack \u201cShaft\u201d by Isaac Hayes, and his work is featured in other films including \u201cThe Social Network\u201d, \u201cIron Man II\u201d and \u201cSouth Central.\u201d<\/p>\n
