I just realized that I have been writing for ModestoView for nine years. My first MAMAView was published in the February 2014 issue(I will have to plan something big for next year.) In March, I will celebrate three years of This is SKA which airs on over 30 stations worldwide. Listen locally on KCBP 95.5 FM Mondays at 11 pm or Sundays at 5 am. Horizon Point will join Simple Minded Symphony at Ralston’s Goat on Sunday, March 5th, at 1 pm to celebrate with me. I am also planning a Ska Street Festival for early October with Jr Ska Boss, one of the promoters behind Viva SKA Vegas; more information will come. Regarding Ralston’s Goat, you will want to attend The Flowers tour kick-off with Tiffany Rose & the Outlaw Hearts, Ted Barber, and Paper Space. February 15th at 6:30 pm and is $10 at the door. Another not to be missed event on February 25th is the annual Johnny Cash Birthday Bash which is a fundraiser for the Prospect Theater Project. Hear some of the area’s best performers, including Chris Doud, Marirose Powell, Big Earl, and Rachel Leonard, interpreting the songs of the Man in Black. Doors at 7 pm $30 in advance/$ 40 at the door if tickets are still available. For more information prospecttheaterproject. org.

On the 24th of February, Horizon Point will be joining Haunted House Party and Analise from The Good Ones at Rancho Fresco Cantina and Nightclub, playing some of their favorites from the nineties. Horizon Point was in the studio recently, so keep an ear out for music and your eyes peeled for videos dropping soon.

If you are looking for some laughs, the Fun Junkies have you covered with several shows this month at various venues around the county. On the 1st at the Boardroom in Downtown Modesto, the 9th at Five Eye Brewing in Ceres, at the Spotlight Lounge in Modesto on the 10th, and out in Oakdale at Grains of Virtue on the 16th. There is also a great comedy showcase, We Own the Laughs, at the State Theatre on February 24th.

Music in the Plaza will be returning in May if you are interested in performing this year, email mamarecords209@gmail.com and I we will see what we can do to get you on the schedule.
