SCV Rock Beat: Hot Fun On First Weekend Of Summer 2016: Roadshow Revival, Tom Nolan Band

Fresh off their butt-rockin’ set at last Thursday night’s “Senses on Main” block party on, local punkabilly ravers and SCVTV “House Blend” stars Hard Six are among the local Santa Clarita-Ventura bands ripping it up this first weekend of summer 2016 at the 8th Roadshow Revival American roots music festival in Ventura.

Hard Six – featuring Fuse (guitar and lead vocals), Vogelcide (standup and electric bass) and Six (drums, vocals) and usually Ms. DeeDee on vocals – killed it at last year’s Roadshow and are set to take the stage at Mission Park on Saturday at the semi-rock ’n’ roll time of 11:45 a.m.

About two dozen more noted blues-rock-punk-rockabilly bands and solo performers from all over the country will rock the park on two stages Saturday and Sunday. Featured are John Doe, The Blasters, James Intveld, Robert Gordon, Paladins, Cadillac Tramps, and The Walking Phoenixes.

Roadshow Revival also sports a hot rod and motorcycle show, pin-up contest, and dozens of cool merchandise and food vendors.

Mission Park gets packed, and it’s the biggest and best rock ’n’ roll blowout of the year anywhere near Santa Clarita. I’ve attended the last two years and had a blast each time.
