I\u2019m loving the effort to liven up downtown with businesses staying open later during May and holding special events like a Mom\u2019s night out or a pub crawl. Kudos to the merchants! But of course, you know nothing livens up a place like live music, and you know who has been doing right? Just take a look at the venues in the Ventura Harbor! The Boatyard Pub is officially providing live music seven days a week so between the Boatyard, 805 Wine Bar, the Copa Cubana, Margarita Villa (also seven days a week), and even the Ventura Comedy Club where Tom Scott and LA Express plays time to time, the place is about as lively as you can get!<\/p>\n

Nothing goes with warmer weather like a cold brewski, so you won\u2019t want to miss Surf n\u2019 Suds, the beer festival with a surf twist, on Saturday, May 19, at San Buenaventura State Beach. The daylong event not only has over 50 craft breweries, ciders and wine, but they\u2019ll have entertainment from Crosscut 805, DJ Hecktik and After the Smoke.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always a treat when Hi Hat Entertainment brings Billy Vera and the Beaters to town so you\u2019ll want to get your tickets in advance at HiHatEntertainment.com for Friday, May 11, at the Hong Kong Inn. They\u2019ll perform their #1 hit tune, \u201cAt this Moment\u201d along with \u201cMillie make some Chili\u201d and other favorites.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s awesome that the Museum of Ventura County is offering more live music. On Friday, May 11, it\u2019s \u201cOut of the Ashes: Healing in Story and Song\u201d; the chamber music ensemble, Camerata Pacifica, performs on Sunday, May 13; the weekly Munch series continues Thursdays afternoons where local artists perform at lunch time; and two-time Grammy winner Laurence Juber (lead guitarist for Paul McCartney\u2019s Wings) headlines a fundraiser for the Ventura County Library Foundation on May 19. For more information and tickets, visit VenturaMuseum.org.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: cool shows at The Garage include the New Candys from Venice, Italy, on Thursday, May 10, and Jason Steady and the Soft Ponies from Omaha, NE, on Friday, May 11; Topa Mountain Winery in Ojai is hosting a Rose Soiree Event with music from The Salty Suites and The Dales on Saturday, May 12; Grapes and Hops hosts an earlier show on Mother\u2019s day, Sunday, May 13 at 11 am with Stephen Inglis who will perform, \u201cCut the Dead some Slack\u201d then it\u2019s Dive Bar Steve and Friends at 3 pm; Caught Red Handed plays Plan B Wine Cellars on Sunday, May 13; Oxnard\u2019s Strawberry Festival is over the weekend of May 19-20, and on the Main stage will be Hollywood U2, Highway Starr, Professional Americans, 40oz to Freedom and more; and finally, the Outlaws will be at Discovery on Sunday, May 20 with Crooked Eye Tommy opening.<\/p>\n
