Over in Ojai: Live Music at Libbey
Libbey Bowl lies in an idyllic park setting in the charming mountain village of Ojai, and the amphitheater is finally getting its due as a special summer venue. Acts at Libbey this week include Los Lonely Boys, the veteran trio of Texas born and bred brothers Henry, Jojo and Ringo Garza who play a mix of country, rock and Tejana music they call “Texican Rock n’ Roll” (August 8). Also, Don McLean – the timeless troubadour known for his eight-minute-plus cultural opus “American Pie” that became a massive hit in 1971 (yes, it’s been 53 years!), and whose other hits include “Vincent (Starry Starry Night)” and “Castles in the Air” – plays on August 10. The following night, keyboardist Scott Bradlee leads Postmodern Jukebox, the rotating musical collective known for reimagining modern-day earworms and iconic pop hits through classic genres like 1920s jazz, swing, doo-wop, and Motown. All shows start at 6 pm. Visit https://wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com/events.
