Oh! Speaking of the fair, the Ventura County Fair Parade rolls down Main Street downtown Ventura Saturday, August 5 at 10 am. There\u2019s always plenty of music; I\u2019ll be hanging out on the Squashed Grapes float along with the Barrelhouse Wailers.<\/p>\n

And speaking of Squashed Grapes, they have quite the week lined up with Lett, Mancini & Dutt on Wednesday, August 2, followed by Nees Bees featuring Nee Sackey and friends on Thursday, then it\u2019s \u201cOrgantua\u201d on Friday with Karl Hunter, and Jimmy and Mario Calire followed up on Saturday, August 5, with Tia Brazda (from Vancouver) who has been touring all over the United States and Canada this Summer.<\/p>\n

Music Under the Stars is in full swing and it\u2019s as popular as ever. Coming up Saturday, August 5, it\u2019s Orquestra Charangoa and then Saturday, August 12, it\u2019s a celebration of the music of Joni Mitchell. It\u2019s better to get your tickets in advance, but if you can\u2019t, be sure to check before heading out to ensure tickets are still available on the City\u2019s website (www.CityofVentura.ca.gov).<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: The Golden China is hosting a Roots 805 Jam on Saturday, August 5th with Jah Mon Soul, Ras Rebel and Rising Son; The Queers along with The Ataris and Bad Samaritans play a pop punk show at Discovery on Sunday, August 6; Toad the Wet Sprocket is at the Libbey Bowl August 6; and The Museum of Ventura County\u2019s \u201cSpeaking Of\u201d lecture series will be featuring Fito de la Parra (Canned Heat Drummer) on Thursday, August 10.<\/p>\n

And finally, congratulations to Night Demon who landed themselves on the same bill as Ozzy Osborne, the Deftones and Prophets of Rage when they play Ozzfest this year, November 4 at Glen Helen Amphitheater. Now that freakin\u2019 rocks!!<\/p>\n
