\"\"<\/a>Are you ready for the Cajun & Blues Festival?\u00a0 It falls over Memorial Day weekend May 27-28th at Rancho Santa Susana Community Park in Simi Valley. This year\u2019s lineup looks pretty tasty with such notable acts at Doug Kershaw, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, The Yardbirds, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and the Robby Krieger Band as Krieger continues to celebrate 50 years of The Doors music. I\u2019m also looking forward to catching Kelly\u2019s Lot, the 44\u2019s and getting to know all the other acts on the bill.\u00a0 You can find ticket information at www.SimiCajun.org.<\/p>\n

The Ventura County fair has released most of their grandstand concert schedule for this summer\u2019s run.\u00a0 There will be Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray on Thursday, 8\/3; Huey Lewis and the News on Friday, 8\/4; KC and the Sunshine Band on Saturday, 8\/5; Dia de la Familia concert Sunday afternoon, 8\/6; Billy Currington on Monday, 8\/7; The Spinners on Tuesday afternoon, 8\/8; Shinedown on Wednesday, 8\/9; Gabriel Iglesias on Thursday, 8\/10; and Wynonna and the Big Noise on Friday, 8\/11.<\/p>\n

Speaking of music over the summer, several of the Music Under the Stars concerts at the historic Olivas Adobe have and will sell out.\u00a0 Several bands of note include WhosNext, The Swing Kings, Steely Jam, Celebration of Joni Mitchell, Dead Man\u2019s party, Fantastic Diamond and more. Call the City to order your tickets during regular business hours at (805) 658-4726.<\/p>\n

Reggae returns to Caf\u00e9 Fiore\u2019s Treehouse on Sunday afternoons with the Babylon Rockers taking the floor on Sunday, May 28. The band tells me they\u2019ll be offering up new takes on some well-known tunes, original reggae music as well as some lesser known gems. Music runs 6-10:30 pm.<\/p>\n

Hi Hat Entertainment is bringing back Billy Vera, but this time featuring his full band, Billy Vera and the Beaters on Friday, May 26. Enjoy their popular songs such as \u201cMillie make some chili\u201d and his #1 radio hit song, \u201cAt this Moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quick notes: The Pullmen are heading back to Europe (France and Italy) for another tour this time with only three members; Brothers Fortune is back in the studio working on a couple of songs; The Mighty Cash Cats just released their new CD called \u201cAlaska Boogie\u201d;Donna Lynn Caskey\u2019s CD release party for \u201cThe Love Still Shows\u201d will be at NAMBA on Saturday, May 27 and the San Francisco jazz trio, Charged Particles, return to Squashed Grapes Saturday, May 27.<\/p>\n

And finally, be sure to tune in for my \u201cmostly local\u201d music show on CAPS Media\u2019s KPPQ-LP at 104.1 FM on Tuesdays from 5 -6 pm. I\u2019m having a blast finding local music nuggets to share like vintage music from Ariel to the Missing 23rd, plus I\u2019m getting new music in from the likes of Ozomatli and Big Voodoo Daddy. CAPS hasn\u2019t launched their simulcast on the internet yet, so if you\u2019re local, be sure to tune and support!<\/p>\n
