\n<\/span>\"Music<\/a>\"The<\/a>Happy holidays one and all! There are several live music events to celebrate this special time of year with family and friends starting with The Rubicon Christmas Memories concert on Friday, December 12, featuring Rubicon students and alumni as well as Broadway celebrity guests David Burnham and Jennifer Leigh Warren. The following afternoon, on Saturday, December 13, it\u2019s the Tiny Tots Concert where the kids can meet Santa, Rudolph and Frosty afterwards downstairs in the Rose Room (RubiconTheatre.org).<\/p>\n

\"High<\/a>Over in Moorpark, the High Street Arts Center hosts Christmas Magic over the weekend of Friday December 12 through Sunday December 13 featuring teen and adult cast members from seasons past singing favorite holiday songs and telling the stories behind them. (HighStreetArtsCenter.com)<\/p>\n

\"Vandals<\/a>If you lean towards the punk end of the musical spectrum and embrace a wicked sense of humor, then you won\u2019t want to miss The Vandal\u2019s 30th Annual Christmas Formal at the Majestic Ventura Theater on Friday, October 19, where I\u2019m hoping to hear such underrated hits such as \u201cOi to the World, \u201c \u201cMy First Xmas (As a Woman),\u201d and \u201cGrandpa\u2019s Last Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hot Roux\u2019s Rock\u2019n Holiday Show will be held at the Grape on Saturday afternoon (2 pm), December 20, featuring special guests, Katie Skene and Grammy-award winning guitarist, Albert Lee.<\/p>\n

Ashford Gordon’s Christmas Show will be held on Sunday (4:30 -7:30), December 21, at Bombay Bar and Grill.<\/p>\n

And the Spirit of Christmas Concert featuring the Simi Valley Symphony Orchestra will be held on Sunday, December 21 at the Rancho Campana Performing Arts Center. This one will include music from Frozen, Home Alone, The Polar Express and more (SimiValleyOrchestras.com).<\/p>\n

Quick Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burch Studios is a Rock and Roll High Collective where budding musicians come together to form bands and write original songs as they develop their craft. Burch will then produce concerts where the artists have the chance to perform in front of an audience. The next one will be held at the Majestic Ventura Theatre on Friday, December 12. This is a great way to support and ensure our music scene never dies!<\/p>\n

And finally, The Beat Farmers and their brand of \u201cwreckless western\u201d land at the Deer Lodge on Sunday, December 14 with John Surge and the Haymakers opening. If the Farmer\u2019s ring a bell, then you\u2019re most likely old enough to remember they were a big part of the 80\u2019s roots\/rock\/Americana movement which included Los Lobos, The Blasters and Lone Justice back in the day.<\/p>\n

The music scene column in the next issue of the Ventura Breeze will cover New Year\u2019s Eve Parties, but if you want to plan ahead, then go to VenturaRocks.com\/Weekly-Gigs.htm and search \u201cNYE.\u201d<\/p>\n
