We have a couple of music festivals lined up over the next week or two taking us from one end of the spectrum to the other, specifically punk to country, and from one end of town to the other, meaning, Ventura to Simi Valley. First, it\u2019s Punk in the Park on Saturday, May 25 with Pennywise, Suicidal Tendancies, Strung Out, Fear, manic Hispanic and more at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, and then its Round Up Music Festival on Saturday, April 1, with Sawyer Brown, Aaron Goodvin, Justin Honsinger and more at Rancho Susana Park. Both of these are ticketed events.<\/p>\n

I have more good news and more bad news: The good news, The Violent Femmes added a second performance of their 1983 debut album in its entirety at the Ventura Music Hall on Friday, May 5; the bad news, it\u2019s already sold out too.<\/p>\n

Actor Danny Trejo launched a label a few years ago to help emerging artists, and now he has a compilation album dropping March 24, \u201cTrejo\u2019s Music Presents, Souldiez are Forever Volume I\u201d with tracks from Cota & the Vibes, Pepe Marquez, Tarah New, Amoraa, Raquel and more\u2026but hang on! Trejo\u2019s Music Concert Series will make a stop at the Fillmore Towne Theater on Saturday, March 25 with live performances from those same artists and it\u2019s hosted by Jimmy Reyes & Danny Trejo. Tickets available through Event Brite.<\/p>\n

The official Libbey Bowl website hasn\u2019t quite gotten around to posting upcoming events, but a couple of ticket outlets are already promoting and selling tickets for a number of them including: Beth Hart (solo) on May 6, Oingo Boingo (former members) on May 7, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on May 20, the rescheduled Judy Collins & Sophie B Hawkins on June 3, Missing Persons on June 3, Gin Blossoms on July 1, and Lyle Lovette on July 7. Beware: all ticket outlets do not charge the same, so shop around, I found tickets on Ticket Center, StubHub and Axs.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>The Grape never disappoints. I\u2019m loving the new venue location, its d\u00e9cor, full bar, staff, and stellar entertainment. If you haven\u2019t yet done so, I highly recommend getting on their weekly email list where they highlight upcoming shows. Case in point, they wrote, \u201cEver heard of a working musician named Paul McCartney? Well, he won’t be able to make it, but this Wednesday (March 22) Denny Seiwell of Paul McCartney and Wings will be taking the stage with John Chiodini on guitar and Carey Frank on B3 Organ. I’m talking world class musicianship on out humble little stage in Ventura California. Life is good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spring Winter Wine Walk & Vendor Fair is Saturday, April 1, downtown Ventura. The wine walk is a ticketed event, but everything else is free to take part of at this event.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: Reggae Thursday nights continue at Tony\u2019s Pizzaria with Morie & the Heavy Hitters on March 23; Decent Criminal plays Gigi\u2019s on Sunday, March 26 (tickets at TicketWeb); Alyse Korn and Robert Kyle CD release performance will be held at Beatrice Wood Center in Ojai on Sunday, March 26; Roman\u2019s Weirdos, Birdbrain and Professional Americans play El Rey Cantina in Camarillo on Sunday, March 26; Cadillac Zack brings Canned Heat to Cantara Cellars on Friday, March 31; and Duane Betts (son of Dickey Betts of the Alman Brothers Band) plays the Ventura Music Hall on Sunday, April 2.<\/p>\n
