Go Dodgers! Thanks for indulging me; now on to taking a look at live music in and around Ventura, first focusing on Halloween. Yes, there were several parties this past weekend, and there will continue to be a few past the official day, but I don\u2019t hear any complaining and if you invested time and some expense in a costume, why not get your bang for the buck and wear it out more than once?<\/p>\n

The night before, Wednesday, October 30, the Ventura Music Factory will host a hardcore Halloween party with an EP release of Evil Dead, along with sets from Pito Pakeeto, Spider Baby and So Gnar.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s look at the official Halloween date, Thursday, October 31. As you should know by now, I cover live music, so if a venue is not listed, they\u2019ll most likely feature DJs or were sadly delinquent in promoting their event. So, in no particular order: Duke\u2019s Beach Grill has Dead Set featuring Grateful Dead covers; it\u2019s all reggae at Tony\u2019s Pizzeria featuring the Heavy Hitters; The Grape hosts Freda Ramey and House Arrest; it\u2019s the Monsters of Pop along with a special set from Wyldesnake at The Garage; and the Raven Tavern hosts Vinyl Gypsies.<\/p>\n

The party continues on Friday, November 1st at Ric\u2019s in Camarillo with Operation 90s and the Keynote Lodge welcomes Lowered Expectations on Saturday, November 2.<\/p>\n

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 or 2nd involving family and friends gathering to pay respects to those who have died. This year, it will be quite the celebration downtown Ventura on Saturday afternoon (11-6 pm) with Limon y Sal spearheading the effort featuring traditional dancers, mariachi bands and a car show.<\/p>\n

The Ventura Music Festival hosts The King\u2019s Singers at Ventura Center for Spiritual Living on Saturday, December 14. For over fifty years the group has garnered several accolades for a cappella performances around the world including two Grammy Awards and an Emmy. Yes, it\u2019s two months away, but I would be sorely remiss if you missed out because it sold out before you even heard about it. Tickets and more information available at VenturaMusicFestival.org.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: The Musical Box, a tribute to Genesis and Phil Collins lands at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center for a concert on Thursday, October 31; The Deer Lodge in Ojai hosts a Hurricane Relief concert benefit featuring Hot Rise on Friday, November 1; Maya Burns with her unique blend of folk, Ranchero, world music jazz, Bolero and classic rock plays an intimate show at Namba on Friday, November 1; and the Ojai Pops Concert offers a free family-friendly show at the Libbey Bowl on Sunday, November 3 featuring the Junction Jazz Band.<\/p>\n
