W20 at the top of The Watermark played host Thursday, May 8, for a special invite only Rixton concert.\u00a0 About 30 lucky 105.5 radio contest winners attended the intimate noon time show.\u00a0 The British pop rock R&B band have been getting traction with their first single, \u201cMe and My Broken Heart.\u201d\u00a0 You may have caught them performing it in the past month on both the Voice and the Ellen DeGeneres Show.<\/p>\n

How cool is it that Nathan McEuen can be found playing at Amigos for Happy Hour on Tuesdays; and how cool is it that his Nitty Gritty Dirt Band dad, John McEuen, stopped by to sit in for a few songs on Tuesday, May 6?\u00a0\u00a0 VERY COOL.<\/p>\n

The headliner for the Roadshow Revival:\u00a0 a Tribute to the Music of Johnny Cash will be Grammy Award Winners, Los Lobos.\u00a0 Other acts on the bill for the all day festival June 14 at the Fairgrounds will be The Paladins, Dale Watson, James Intveld, and much more.\u00a0 See www.RoadshowRevival.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s out with the old and in with the new as The Chaotic Knights retire their name as they welcome their new lead singer, David Cunningham on board. They\u2019re renaming the band Whiskey Stone.<\/p>\n

By the way, Martha Davis of the Motels never sounded better when she headlined the Ventura Beach Festival May 3; the Surfaris kicked some serious butt as well.<\/p>\n

Hi-Hat Entertainment welcomes Kim Wilson (Fabulous Thunderbirds) to Yolie\u2019s on Friday, May 16; Reverend Horton Heat will be at the Majestic Ventura Theater on May 23, the Green on the 26th and Against Me! on the 27th.\u00a0 And not only is the restaurant back, but the Hong Kong Inn is offering late night music on most weekends again.<\/p>\n

Discovery has been ramping up getting ready to offer music on a more consistent basis.\u00a0 Look for Wailing Souls and Prezident Brown on May 23, and Hollywood U2 (tribute band) on May 25.\u00a0 Ticket information can be found on their website www.DiscoveryVentura.com<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re also looking for local bands to showcase throughout the summer, just so you know.<\/p>\n

Special guest, Doug Webb, will join Tico Trio later this month at Squashed Grapes on Saturday, May 31.\u00a0 Webb has been featured on over 500 recordings for hundreds of artists including Quincy Jones, Freddie Hubbard, and Stanley Clarke; he also has recorded for hundreds of movies and television shows including The Family Guy orchestra.<\/p>\n

And finally, work continues for Ventura Music Week; mark it on your calendar now for June 6 \u2013 June 15th with the official kickoff party on Thursday, June 5; details coming soon.<\/p>\n
