\n<\/span>Pam@VenturaRocks.com<\/span>\"artwork\"<\/a>I cannot believe Labor Day is almost here and with it what most call the \u201cend of summer.\u201d Of course, nothing could be further from the truth as summer doesn\u2019t official end until Friday, September 22, and even then, we typically have warm gorgeous weather up until the middle of October.\u00a0 But I\u2019m not a weather person and all I care about is that we have live music all year round! So, let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n

Spencer Makenzie has outgrown their original location on the public street next to their restaurant and they\u2019re now hosting their annual Throw Down Cornhole Festival at the Ventura County Fairs. Along with all the competition will be live music featuring Morie & the Heavy Hitters, Acoustic DNA, and Prince Again on Friday, August 25; then on Saturday the 26, it\u2019s Highway Starr and Whiskey Business. This is a ticketed event.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s free admission for the Hueneme Beach Fest, but do plan to spend money on parking ($10, though a free shuttle will be provided as well) and carnival rides and of course all the delicious food offered by all the food vendors. Along with all the arts and crafts vendors and chalk art exhibition, there will be plenty of live music both days with Morie and the Heavy Hitters, Joyas Prestadas (tribute to Jenni Rivera), and Led Zepagain on Saturday, August 26, then it\u2019s Always Tina, Anything for Selena and Britain\u2019s Finest on Sunday, the 27 of August.<\/p>\n

The Rubicon Theatre hosts The Platters, Many Voices ONE name, for five shows over the weekend of August 25 through the 27 with two shows on Friday and Saturday. \u00a0You\u2019ll enjoy timeless classics such as \u201cOnly You,\u201d \u201cThe Great Pretender,\u201d \u201cSmoke Gets in Your Eyes,\u201d My Prayer,\u201d and more.\u00a0 Find out more at RubiconTheatre.org.<\/p>\n

Oh! And don\u2019t forget the Oxnard Jazz Festival falls over the weekend of September 9 and 10 at Oxnard State Beach.\u00a0 Secure tickets at OxnardJazzFestival.com.<\/p>\n

Quick Notes: adding to the list of venues offering open mic\/jam nights is Caf\u00e9 Fiore on Tuesdays; As of press time, only the first of two nights has sold out for The Offspring at the Majestic Ventura Theater (Tuesday, October 17, and Wednesday, October 18); Rock the Collection kicks off their summer concert (while others are wrapping theirs up) with Bruno and the Hooligans on Wednesday, August 23; City of Caterpillar, the Discussion and Head Cut play Gigi\u2019s on Saturday August 26; Music Under the Stars wraps up the summer season with Lisa Haley & the Zydekats on Saturday, August 26; Neon Blonde plays Sans Souci on Saturday, August 26; Bell Arts Factory hosts Juan D.
