While I\u2019m not going to guarantee an opening date for the Grape, they are oh so very close to opening their doors to what I\u2019m sure will be the hottest jazz club in the County. I got the grand tour and the place is amazing!!!\"The<\/a>We\u2019ve been very fortunate to have Will Breman performing at local venues downtown Ventura (Winchesters and Grapes and Hops with a Twist) having been a semifinalist on NBC\u2019s the Voice just a couple years ago (season 17). His mentor from the show, John Legend, just did a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl last week and Legend brought Will on stage to perform Joe Cocker\u2019s version of \u201cWith a Little Help from my Friends.\u201d I spoke to Will about it and he told me, \u201cSinging with John was literally the most perfect timing. Before the pandemic, I had bought tickets for my mom, because she was celebrating her 50th birthday. Ultimately my entire family got to go, which was wonderful. Mom and dad had zero clue [he\u2019d be performing], and I could see them freaking out from their floor seats. Working with John in any respect has been straightforward and easy. At this point it was like catching up with a dear friend. I didn\u2019t expect the nerves I got in the moment, but it had also been the first time in two years that I ever sang for an audience that big.\u201d Freakin\u2019 awesome, right?!! Will was kind enough to do an episode of VenturaRockSpot with me earlier this year, you can view it at VenturaRockSpot.com (along with dozens of other interviews). Will Breman will also be featured at the Topa Mountain Music 2021 Benefit Concert coming up at Ojai\u2019s Libbey Bowl on October 9. Headlining the show will be the White Buffalo along with performances from Bryan Titus Trio, Lee Koch Band, Jems and more. Go to TopaMountainMusic.org for ticket information.<\/p>\n

Social Distortion (including long-time band member and well-known musician in numerous bands around town, Brent Harding) just got added to the list of concerts for October at the Majestic Ventura Theater playing a date on Wednesday, October 6. Other shows include Drakeo the Ruler on October 1, Black Label Society on October 2, Yung Blue on October 5, two Pennywise shows, the one with the Dead Kennedys on October 7 and the one with Strung Out on October 8, and then it\u2019s Elefante, Inspector on October 15. The venue is now requiring a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of the event you\u2019re attending or proof of vaccination for entry. Masks are also required at all times except while actively eating or drinking.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also happy to report there will be live music at Bombay\u2019s on Saturday, September 25, starting at 6 pm in the back room and this one is all ages. With a small $5 cover, you\u2019ll get Brian Mikasa with Ardi on drums performing new music along with opening sets from Kyle Hunt and Hol!day (Tyler Treves\u2019 new project). It\u2019s being branded as a listening party, so respect and give them your attention; should be a great way to kick off a Saturday night downtown.<\/p>\n

Ojai Nest Fest scheduled for Lake Casitas on October 2nd has been postponed.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: Maria Calire is out touring with Martha and the Motels; with less daylight, Margarita Villa has adjusted their live music to 7-10 on the weekends; Tony Ybarra is opening for Blood Sweat & Tears at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills on September 24;
