Ventura Mus\"Venturaic Scene<\/strong>
\nTo Another Rockin’ Year!

\n\"2017\"<\/a><\/span>Here we are ushering in another year. It\u2019s when we take time to reflect back and it\u2019s when we take time to look forward. If you know me at all, then you know that I\u2019m a \u201cglass-half-full\u201d sort of gal. So, I\u2019m looking forward to and postulating a year of growth, a year of success, a year of new music and a year of harmony for all.<\/p>\n

Before we hit the ground running in 2017, we have to send off 2016 with a bang! So here we go with New Year\u2019s Eve parties in and around Ventura. You\u2019ll want to do your own due diligence with reservations and keep in mind that a number of venues who typically don\u2019t, will be charging a cover for the night; most everyone will have specials and party favors. And if I may suggest, be sure to have a designated driver or a well-thought out exit plan on getting home safe.<\/p>\n

Amigos will feature the pop 80\u2019s band Wax Off; Caf\u00e9 Fiore has two bands in the front room, Big Adventure and Instone with Colette Lovejoy in the Treehouse; Chinaland in Oxnard has the Grooveline featuring Dora Sanchez and guest DJ Frank Ramirez; the Copa Cubana in the harbor will have Artis Ford; The Crown Plaza has their popular annual event with DJ Bruce Barrios; Discovery features One More Time, a Daft Punk tribute band; Gigi\u2019s has a Karaoke countdown; there will be a masquerade party at Grapes and Hops with the Shawn Jones trio; the Greek Mediterranean will have a Great Gatsby theme party with a DJ; The Hong Kong Inn has The Bomb; The Hut in Ojai has Wishbone with special guest Alastair Greene; there\u2019s definitely no cover at the Keynote Lounge with the Black Canyon Band; O\u2019Leary\u2019s has a Roaring 20\u2019s party with Live Band Karaoke; Paddy\u2019s has DJs with two dance floors all night; Rookees will also feature a masquerade theme with Wiz Kid at the helm; Saloon BBQ Co has DJ Acer; Brain Faith & Friends will be at the Sportsman in Camarillo. The Tavern has DJ Steeze Steve; and former LA Guns singer, Paul Mars Black will be at the Wine Rack.<\/p>\n

And finally, if you\u2019ll be ringing in the New Year anywhere near a television, then be sure to tune in to Dick Clark\u2019s New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve 2017 with Ryan Seacrest. I realize that\u2019s an odd recommendation from me, but you won\u2019t want to miss seeing the newly Grammy nominated Mike Posner Band with local artist, Jacob Scesney on saxophone in his band. I can\u2019t even express how proud I am of Jacob, he\u2019s truly living the dream!<\/p>\n
