\"Pam<\/a>Who called it?\u00a0 Yeah you got that right. I did when I speculated that the Doug Webb Group would be another one for the books because they absolutely killed it at Squashed Grapes Saturday, August 26 with special guest Danny Carey of Tool on drums.\u00a0\u00a0 Carey told me that he doesn\u2019t frequent Ventura all too often, but he recollected playing the Ventura Theater with Tool, and of course visiting his bud Terry Bozzio (Missing Persons) who lives nearby.\u00a0 He clearly was having a great time navigating through the jazz pieces Doug Webb had selected for the evening and even if I do say so myself, he nailed it. Carey goes out on tour with Primus next.\u00a0 Webb of course is no stranger to the Grape, and it\u2019s always a treat to have the guy who plays the saxophone of Lisa on The Simpsons<\/em> in the house.\u00a0 Plus having played with Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Clarke, Quincy Jones, and others to name but a few, is nothing to sneeze at. The house was comfortable sold out to capacity with a number of fans outside hoping to get a glimpse of Carey, and as the drummer is seated directly next to the front window, they weren\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n

And though school is back in session, Summer is far from over with several key events to look forward to including the Ventura Beach Party on September 6 and 7 down at the pier which has music both days and a Marathon which is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon.\u00a0 The following weekend, also down along the promenade is the Aloha Festival on the 13 and 14 with Dirty Rice performing on Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0 And then of course the ever popular California Beer Festival September 20 and 21 with Sunday featuring some killer blues acts such as Tab Benoit, Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds, and Michael John & the Bottom Line.<\/p>\n

Look for the annual Key to the Highway Blues Benefit for Khepera House Rehab and Recovery program at Bombay\u2019s on Sunday, September 7 with Tommy Marsh and Bad Dog, Brian Batchley & Friends, Guy Martin and 50 Sticks of Dynamite.\u00a0 I\u2019m also hearing there will be special guests showing up including Kelly Zires and Perry Robertson of Kelly\u2019s Lot.\u00a0 Kphepera House has been helping drug addicts and alcoholics and their family in Ventura County for over 30 years.<\/p>\n

The White Buffalo was no stranger to Zoey\u2019s and he even headlined Polly\u2019s benefit last year; but now he\u2019s stepping it up a notch (or five) with his appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show August 27\u00a0 and he\u2019ll be headlining the Ventura Theater on September 20 in support of his most recent release, Shadows, Greys & Evil Ways.<\/em><\/p>\n

And finally,on a very sad note, it is with a heavy heart we learned of the passing of Dan Wilson over the Labor Day weekend.\u00a0 Ventura’s music community has lost a true gem.<\/p>\n

This is a good time to give a gentle reminder to ALL musicians, fans, and media who support Ventura\u2019s music scene:\u00a0 we\u2019re all in this together.\u00a0\u00a0 Enough said.<\/p>\n
