Talk about musical diversity! Let\u2019s start with something altogether different, how about a Disc-o-town Hoedown at Discovery on Saturday January 23 with karaoke, a western outfit contest, a mechanical bull and then live country music from Moonridge. It\u2019s all ages with a $10 cover charge and I\u2019m pretty sure line dancing will be involved.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d heard the rumblings of live music coming to Ven Tiki (701 E. Main where Bernadette\u2019s use to be located) and it looks like it\u2019s true because the venue received special permission from the City for a one-time chance to have the world famous Surfer Joe from Italy play downtown; there will be no reservations. We hope they pull this one off to a big win so they may be granted a more permanent entertainment permit.<\/p>\n

And speaking of having music more often, we\u2019re pleased that you can find more music at the Harbor as the Boatyard Caf\u00e9 has been offering up more music including the Bluegrass Jam on Thursdays 6-9 and then there\u2019s the Copa Cubana\u2019s opening pending City approval; Andy who also owns 805 Bar and Grilled Cheese, expects no further delays, and we\u2019re hoping by the time of the next Breeze issue, we\u2019ll be reporting on their grand opening.<\/p>\n

After taking over ownership a few months ago Bill Kracht, formerly of Player\u2019s Casino, has brought live music to O\u2019Leary\u2019s with O\u2019Leary\u2019s East End Blues Band performing every Saturday night headed up by harmonica blues master, RJ Mischo, Jerry McWorter, Franck Goldwasser,and Brent Harding; it also won\u2019t be unusual to see guest players sit in from time to time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those special events at Squashed Grapes that lovers of jazz won\u2019t want to miss; Sergio Bellotti\u2019s Groove Experience comes to town on Wednesday, January 27. Bellotti will also hold a drum clinic earlier in the evening in conjunction with Pulse Drumming.<\/p>\n

Hi Hat Entertainment brings James Intveld to the Ventura Beach Club on Friday, January 22, and Paul Oscher Band on the 29th.<\/p>\n

After having sold the building last Fall, Saana at Peirano\u2019s has decided to close the restaurant doors on January 24. We\u2019re not sure where the tango crew will land, but we know their Thursday night dance club will continue, and we\u2019ll let you know where. In fact, it\u2019s not completely out of the realm of possibilities that someone else will come along and reopen Peirano\u2019s in the future.<\/p>\n

And if hard rock is your game, then you\u2019ll want to be at Bombay\u2019s for the Gygax record release party on Friday, January 29.<\/p>\n

Finally, our condolences go out to the family and friends of Michael DiMauro who passed away December 31. DiMauro\u2019s most recent project was the Iron Butterfly All Star Band. Services were held at San Buenaventura Mission on January 8.<\/p>\n
