The Ojai Concert Series
The Ojai Concert Series provides a valuable service for traveling contra bands and a treat for music lovers. About once a month the OCS brings an evening of wonderful music to Ojai. The main focus is Celtic and Folk with lots of Contra and Roots Music from around the world. They often feature bands that are on a contra dance tour. Jamie Laval, Ashley Broder, Notorious’ Larry Unger & Eden MacAden-Somer plus members of Crowfoot are a few of the artist you might remember dancing to. These concerts are held in downtown Ojai at the beautiful, 100 year old, Ojai Valley Woman’s Club meeting hall and all profit goes to the artists.
