SUNDAY, JUNE 4 Boards to Beats – As a teenager, Tommy Guerrero was one of the prominent members of the Bones Brigade, Powell Peralta’s professional skateboarding team that was successful during the 1980s. He was well-known for his relaxed style of street skateboarding, which showed up all over the San Francisco-filmed videos Future Primitive, The Search for Animal Chin, Public Domain, and Ban This. After his success in the world of skateboarding, Guerrero – who grew up playing music and is an accomplished bassist and guitarist whose influences are as diverse as John Coltrane, Bad Brains, Joy Division, and Gabor Szabo – decided to pursue his musical interests. Starting as a member of the skate rock band Free Beer and the experimental group Jet Black Crayon, his recent energy has been toward his work as a solo artist – including a number of albums, EPs, and singles that incorporate a blend of genres, from rock and hip hop to funk, soul, and jazz. Guerrero’s latest album is called Too Good, a title that shares his initials. While a skateboard remains in his logo, we don’t expect any streetwise tricks in downtown Goleta when Guerrero performs at the Mercury Lounge. WHEN: 8 pm WHERE: Mercury Lounge, 5871 Hollister Avenue, Goleta COST: call INFO: 967-0907

Mehta at the Museum – Ventura Music Festival’s (VMF) artistic director Nuvi Mehta, who is known for his onstage interactions with artists and sharing his humor and knowledge with festival audiences – is also director of Special Projects for the San Diego Symphony, where he launched the ensemble’s Symphony Exposed Concerts – a hugely popular multimedia concert series that introduces non-aficionados to classical music. At today’s free event, Mehta will spin music and stories about the people and developments of American classical music, including the impact of European composers, the importance of jazz, the landmark contribution of Gershwin, and more, including a conversation with Ojai’s John Biggs, the fiercely independent composer of numerous accessible, emotionally rich classical pieces. The event also serves as a teaser for the upcoming VMF in July, when featured performers include Michael Feinstein, the piano duo Anderson & Roe, jazz legend Roger Kellaway, Perla Batalla’s tribute to Leonard Cohen, and the classical-pop trio Simply Three.
