\"photo<\/a>Every now and then someone comes to town that just puts on a smile on my face and I\u2019m all in on figuring out how to get tickets the day, nay, the minute they go on sale. Case in point, Elvis Costello and the Imposters with special guest Charlie Sexton was announced and I secured tickets two minutes after they went live. We\u2019re talking about such iconic tunes as \u201cEveryday I Write the Book,\u201d \u201cPump it Up,\u201d \u201cAlison,\u201d \u201cWatching the Detectives\u201d and \u201cShe\u201d which was an integral part of the movie Notting Hill. Ah the memories\u2026remember that time he interrupted the Beastie Boys on Saturday Night Live and they broke into \u201cRadio Radio\u201d? On the same bill, will be Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets. Lowe, by the way, produced Costello\u2019s first five albums. Elvis has two Grammy Awards under his belt and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and he plays the Majestic Ventura Theater<\/a> on Wednesday, June 14. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

\"artwork\"<\/a>\"photo<\/a>Creed Bratton performs at the Ventura Music Hall on Saturday, April 8. Most people probably recognize Creed who played a fictional version of himself on nine seasons of NBC\u2019s \u201cThe Office.\u201d But know this, Creed is one heck of a musician having played lead guitar on the first four albums with the legendary Grass Roots. Soon after leaving the band, he continued to release solo records. His most recent record, While the Young Punks, was released in 2018 and he continued to write and record during the pandemic as did most artists with so much time on their hands.

Here now a quick public service announcement: Do your homework! I have found anywhere from three to six different ticket vendors selling tickets to the same event, but not at the same price. Case in point, after seeing several complaints about the cost of tickets for Costello, I went to four different vendors and researched general admission tickets. The range went from $132 to $184. The service fees from $15.14 to $40.07 for each ticket. So yeah, do your homework.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: Numbskull Productions bring Good Riddance, Swingin\u2019 Utters and Sweat to the Ventura Room at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 7; Pato Baton returns to Mrs. Olson\u2019s for a night of reggae with Jacob Marques & the Good Vibes opening on Saturday, April 8; Dave Cipriani plays Namba, Saturday, April 8, he\u2019ll also host a workshop at 5 pm; Will Breman from the Voice returns to Winchesters Grill & Saloon on Thursday, April 13; Shaky Feelin\u2019 plays Ojai Valley Brewing on Friday, April 14; and Los Amigos is the band of choice for this month\u2019s Channel Cities Jazz Club Sunday afternoon dance on April 16.<\/p>\n
