\"blogs\"<\/a>As we quickly approach 2014, we can’t help but reflect on 2013 and how there have been so many changes for VenturaRocks.com over the past year.\u00a0 For almost three and a half years we only posted on our website.\u00a0 We took photos from time to time and did some editorials and stories about Ventura’s music scene, but we mostly were behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

But this past year, we became proactive by going out and introducing ourselves and finding out what is needed and wanted. We meet venue owners, many of which have become great friends.\u00a0 We’ve gotten to know many of the bands and solo artists listening to their concerns. We attended meetings and council member forums to help keep our finger on the pulse of Ventura’s music scene.<\/p>\n
