Ventura has a fairly vibrant music scene. Well known musical artists and bands frequent the Ventura Theatre. In addition, there are many good local bands playing in bars and clubs. Billy O's, near five points, has a live band every Monday night. Dargan's Irish Pub downtown has live music at least two nights a week. Some local bands include:
Far From Kansas, fronted by Buena High School English teacher J.D. Levin;
Franklin For Short;
Floater Six (AKA F-Six);
Automatic Hotel; and the amusing (mostly cover song) duo
The Johnson Account.
