Sun, Nov 24, 2013, in Ventura:
3 pm-Midnight  “HEART AND SOUL BENEFIT CONCERT” for Zoey’s co-founder POLLY HOGANSON, in urgent need of surgery; at the Bombay Bar & Grill, 143 S California St (at Thompson), downtown Ventura 93001; 805-643-4404; www.bombaybarandgrill.com 
+
NATHAN McEUEN, the SALTY SUITES with CHELSEA WILLIAMS, CALICO, THE WHITE BUFFALO, TIMMY CURRAN, MEIKO, SHANE ALEXANDER, TODD HANNIGAN, LEE KOCH, GUY MARTIN, TOMMY MARSH, 50 STICKS OF DYNAMITE, RAY JAURIQUE & THE UPTOWN BOYS, KYLE HUNT, JADE HENDRIX, JUSTINE BENNETT, JAMIE DRAKE, SHELBY FIGUEROA, PI JACOBS, XOC MORAZA, ROGER KEIAHO, and more are performing. This will be an amazing outpouring of gratitude for the Hoganson’s in a purposeful marathon of music.
+
Local musicians are all over this, because Steve & Polly Hoganson were the beloved owners of the late, great “Zoey’s,” the best Folk-Americana music venue in Ventura (and for many miles in every direction). Zoey’s suddenly closed last month.
+
The VC Reporter newspaper broke the news of the benefit “to help Polly Hoganson pay some medical bills.” Advance tix are available, and you can get tix at the door, or send a donation.
+
There’s a nice article about the benefit in “Ventura Rocks,” at:

+
The Bombay’s publicity reads, in part:
+
"The music community is coming together to help a woman who has been the heart and soul of the Ventura music scene for many years, Polly Hoganson. Polly and her husband Steve were pivotal in helping so many artists launch their careers, giving them a safe place to play as well as bringing national acts to our town. Now Polly needs our help. There will be a benefit concert on November 24 at Bombay Bar and Grill, 143 S California St, Ventura, from 3 pm to midnight. The benefit will help with medical expenses and recovery for a much needed operation.
+
“This will be a full night of amazing music for someone who has helped launch and nurture the careers of so many musicians.
+
Tickets at the door are $15 from 3-6 pm; after 6 pm, it’s $20. Also scheduled is a raffle / silent auction.
+
Bombay, the venue for the benefit, has a nice online poster promoting the "Heart and Soul Benefit Concert" at:

+
Both Zoey's website and a Nov 7 article in the VC Reporter reveal that Steve and Polly "do plan to find a way to continue their ‘Ones to Watch’ Singer-Songwriters competition." More at http://zoeyscafe.com/
