Ventura Music Scene<\/strong>

\n<\/span>Pam@VenturaRocks.com<\/span>\"artwork\"<\/a>We have two huge events landing on the same day, Saturday, October 21, celebrating two different municipalities. Both offer up great live music, so it\u2019s going to be tough deciding which camp you want to hang out with. First, it\u2019s Ventura County\u2019s 150th anniversary with a free family festival followed up with a ticketed event (EventBrite) at Santa Paula Veterans Park with Big Bad Voodoo headlining along with Rey Fresco, Mariachi Camarillo, Whiskey Business and the Charles Law Band.<\/p>\n

Then across the hills it\u2019s Ojai Day with live music 11 am to 10 pm featuring Buck Moon, Spencer the Gardener, Beau Red & the Tailor Maide, Those Darn Amigos, Sick Boy, Van Allen Twins, Virtual Nobodies, Dylan Cunningham and Dan Grimm. May the best camp win!<\/p>\n

Once you have this special weekend chocked full of live music choices behind you, it\u2019s time to look ahead at Halloween, Tuesday, October 31, and the week leading up to it. I\u2019ve been seeing costume parties pop up as far ahead as the week before, so it\u2019s best to map out your choices and where you\u2019ll be meeting up with friends. I recommend (as always), going to VenturaRocks.com and use the calendar to search \u201cHalloween\u201d for all events leading up to the big day, currently there are 18 listed.<\/p>\n

Head\u2019s up for this one, the Ventura Harbor\u2019s Thriller Zombie Dance Flash Mob will be held on the main lawn around 2:15 pm on Sunday, October 29. I\u2019m thinking \u201cflash mob\u201d implies it\u2019s a seemingly random act\u2026but if it\u2019s being publicized\u2026then it\u2019s just a performance. In any case, you\u2019re welcome to join in, if you\u2019re dressed up in costume.<\/p>\n

Studio Channel Islands in Camarillo will host The Black Market Trust on Saturday, October 28. The band features world class musicians and will perform material from the Great American Songbook infused with a romantic and virtuosic flavor, added with some intricate vocal harmonies and a dash of Rat Pack-style comedy. Find out more at StudioChannelIslands.org.<\/p>\n

I saw a \u201cSave the Date\u201d post on social media for Skull and Roses 2024 which will return to the Ventura County Fairground April 19 \u2013 21. Plenty of advance notice so you don\u2019t plan a vacation that same weekend.<\/p>\n

Tickets are on sale now for the next Chick Singer Night returning to the Sound Palace in Oxnard for a show on Saturday, November 4. This time they\u2019ll feature Erinn Alissa, Jess Bush, Rachael Lynda, Lois Mahalva and Elyia Frantz.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: Namba has a punk show with Frequency Within, Intenable and Promotive on Friday, October 20; there\u2019s a free Ojai Pops Orchestra show at Libbey Bowl with Miriam Dance on Sunday, October 22; Dead Kennedys play the Ventura Music Hall on Saturday, October 28; and Tony Ybarra plays a intimate concert at Logan House at Beatice Wood Center for the Arts on Sunday afternoon, October 29;<\/p>\n
