\"Jim<\/a>

Fundraiser for Jim Monahan Sunday, March 22, at Bombay’s.<\/p><\/div>\n

With spring upon us the Ventura Harbor Village brings back music to the Carousel stage; look for Unkle Monkey on March 22 and Smokey & Friends on March 29.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the Harbor, we got wind that Andre (805 Wine and Grill Cheese fame) has snatch up more space and will be opening an Ameri-Cubano restaurant featuring live musical entertainment most days of the week.\u00a0 We\u2019ll keep you posted, but we hear the ETA is early summer.<\/p>\n

Tickets are on sale now for Aaron Carter at Discovery Ventura for Friday, April 24th<\/sup>.\u00a0 There are a limited number of VIP Meet & Greet tickets as well.<\/p>\n

The Bluegrass jam which originally started at Zoey\u2019s over twelve years ago, then migrated to Milano\u2019s for the past year has landed at Golden China on the 2nd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> Wednesdays of the month.\u00a0 Gene Rubin told me, \u201cPhil Salazar and I are usually there and the rest is any combination of the 400 who might show up to jam. Typically we get 20 to 30 musicians at any jam, which means they usually break up into 2 or three jam circles. Summers are always even busier.”<\/p>\n

Winchesters Grill will host a fundraiser, donating 20% of food sales to Ventura Music Week on Tuesday, March 31.\u00a0\u00a0 Get out and support!<\/p>\n

Brothers Fortune is the new project from Kyle Hunt.\u00a0 I reached out to Kyle to find out more and he told me, \u201cI began working on this project over a year ago and it’s been a slow process. Life gets in the way sometimes and it’s taken a long time to say that a new full length album is just round the corner! March 28th (at Bombay\u2019s) will be our first show with a permanent full line up including Jayce Flauding, Marco Perez, John Sagar, Sean Tauber and myself. We’ve only been playing as a whole for a short while, but I’m really looking forward to gigging with these guys!\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh! Just a quick follow up after hanging with the crew on their Squashed Grapes float for the St. Patrick\u2019s Day parade on March 14th<\/sup>; we took two trophies, Best in Category and Best in Show!!\u00a0 The band rocked it with Trey O\u2019Toole, Franklin Murphy, Rj Root, Jacob Scesney and Guil Juliao (who saved the day), but I can\u2019t help to think us dancers helped as well (wink wink).<\/p>\n

And finally, The Have a Heart Fundraiser for local musician Jim Monahan will be held at Bombay\u2019s on Sunday, March 22, to help pay for the overwhelming medical bills as he recuperates from cancer and cardiovascular surgery.\u00a0 Just a few of the musicians on hand to help out will be: the Jimmy Calire Trio, the Vonettes, National Cat, Restless Hillfillies, Alan Thornhill and Martin Young, Solimar, J Peter Boles & Friends and Fishfry.<\/p>\n
