I have good news and bad news: The good news, The Violent Femmes will perform their 1983 debut album in its entirety at the Ventura Music Hall on Saturday, May 6; the bad news, it\u2019s already sold out. BUT WAIT!!!\u00a0 A second show has been added for May 5.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Medicine Hat just released their new single, \u201cShe Comes and She Goes\u201d and Anchor and Bear are back in the studio, so looking forward to new music from them.<\/p>\n

With St. Patrick\u2019s Day falling on a Friday this year, most venues are offering up Irish music and Irish specials to entice you into their doors. If you\u2019d like something a little tamer, but a feast for the senses, then consider Phil Salazar and the Kin Folk at Namba Arts Studio. Phil is a legend around these parts being a fiddle champ and having played with legends such as Bob Weir. Joining him will be Tom Corbett on mandolin and guitar, Bill Knopf on banjo, Rick Borella on bass and Bill flores on everything else including steel guitar, and accordion. The program will include several genres such as rock, blues, country, jazz pop, bluegrass and of course traditional Irish.<\/p>\n
