Ventura Mus\"Venturaic Scene<\/strong>
\nIt’s a Wrap!

\"Crooked<\/a>We\u2019re wrapping up 2014 and hoping for big things to come in 2015 for Ventura\u2019s music scene.\u00a0 First things first, let\u2019s take a look at our options for closing out the year.\u00a0 So many venues are pulling out the stops for New Year\u2019s Eve beckoning patrons with some great music lined up.\u00a0 Discovery has Crooked-Eye Tommy and Guy Martin with Spencer from The Vibe keeping the dancing going; Bombay Bar and Grill will have crowd favorites Mandex, Shaky Feelin\u2019 and Rising Son along with two DJs Carlism and Darko; W20 at the Watermark will offer music from Dr M and ADD; and Shawn Jones will rock in the New Year at Grapes and Hops. All the aforementioned venues have a cover and offer special beverages and food.\u00a0 Reservations are highly recommended to ensure admittance.<\/p>\n

More venues offering music to bring in the New Year include Peirano\u2019s with the Mighty Cash Cats, Gigi\u2019s with Cynthia Manley, Keynote with Red Rhythm, the Wine Rack has Mark Heyes, Caf\u00e9 Fiore with Mojo Box and of course Jonny Reese at Amigos has Toni Jannotta with some sexy jazz to warm up the evening at 6 and then the Iron Butterfly Experience will keep the party going until 1 am.<\/p>\n

Play it safe and don\u2019t drink and drive.\u00a0 Cabs will be out in abundance; have their phone number handy or better yet arrange for a designated driver who you will shower with gifts for taking the bullet this time around.<\/p>\n

Kudos to Josh and Adam at Squashed Grapes for bringing the talent this year.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be closing their doors after a Tillford Jackson Christmas special on Tuesday, December 23, until the end of the year, but they\u2019ll be back January 2 with even more amazing jazz for 2015; Doug Webb with Danny Carey of Tool returns on January 9, they\u2019ll have the Jim Calire Piano Trio on the 15, Karl Hunter\u2019s Quartet on the 24 and so many cool jazz cats in-between.\u00a0 Please, I beseech you; if you haven\u2019t been in to check out this cool venue, make it a point to do so in 2015.<\/p>\n

Jan and Jerry of Hi-Hat Entertainment has really been bringing amazing shows and artists to Ventura for quite some time now and 2015 looks to be a stellar year for them at their new venue, the Ventura Beach Club.\u00a0 You won\u2019t want to miss Albert Lee\u2019s return to the stage along with Carl Sonny Leyland on January 2, and then on the 16th, it\u2019s none other than Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown one of the earliest British blues bands touring since the mid Seventies.<\/p>\n

I wish you love, joy and music for the New Year! Thanks for reading about Ventura\u2019s music scene, much more to come in 2015.<\/p>\n
