We can’t imagine there won’t be more future events like this because Blues at the Beach was a huge success! Players Casino, Roadshow Revival and Totally Local VC teamed up to bring a Blues festival to Ventura County and they pulled it off to a big win on November 2, 2013.
All the acts on the bill were outstanding with the 44’s opening, then the R&B Bombers, Guy Martin, Shawn Jones, James Harmon, The Mannish Boys and Elvin Bishop. Extra added treat was Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds joining both The Mannish Boys & Elvin Bishop for a number of songs.
We hope you enjoy some of the photos we took:

What a great event. I traveled to Ventura from Mission Viejo for a weekend of camping and Blues. I’ll definitely be back next year.
Thank you Ventura Rocks for being a part of our event and the great captures of the day.
