<\/span>Pam@VenturaRocks.com<\/span>\"music<\/a>August is in full swing and with it a whole lotta live music in and around Ventura County. The Ventura County Fair is in its second week of its 10-day run and the final Grandstand Stage concert is Wednesday, August 10, with Cheap Trick. That being said, the Station Stage will continue to rock with local favorites through Sunday, August 14.

Chick Singer Night just announced their newest City Chapter Director is Ventura\u2019s own Jodi Farrell. Jodi has been an integral part of Ventura\u2019s music scene f\"Photo<\/a>or so many years fronting the Front Street Prophets, performing with TreCoustics, and now with Jim Rankin as a duo. So many performers have been tutored and mentored via Jodi Farrell\u2019s Music Studio and before that when she taught at Ventura Community College.

Cadillac Zack presents 1960\u2019s blues & rock legends Canned Heat at Cantara Cellars in Camarillo, on Thursday, August 18. If your memory is straining to remember, let me help you out. They had hits such as \u201cLet\u2019s Work Together,\u201d \u201cOn the Road Again,\u201d and \u201cGoing Up the Country.\u201d They played the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and had a headlining slot at the original Woodstock. Trust me when I say, you won\u2019t want to miss this amazing night of live music with Delta by the Beach opening.\u00a0 Just text Zack for ticket information at (323) 377-5291. \"photo<\/a>I was very sad to hear about the passing of pop icon, Olivia Newton-John.\u00a0 Her music instantly brings back memories, and I can’t even count how many times I watched “Grease,” but I think I will always remember her generosity and love when she performed here in Ventura, February of 2018, for the Thomas Fire Benefit. What a sweet being, and what a tremendous loss. Poseidon Brewing will be celebrating their 8th anniversary over the weekend of 8\/12-8\/14 with Vanise Terry Band, The Dynasties, Morrison Drive and Let\u2019s be Frank performing. \"Boots<\/a>To satisfy your need for live country music, there\u2019s Boots and Brews on Saturday August 20 with Cole Swindell, Eddie Montgomery an Raelynn. Surfer\u2019s Point Live at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Get your tickets at BootsAndBrews.com.<\/p>\r\n
