I thought it would be nice to take a break from reality and listen to some local music.

Ojai's rock band, Myridian, is back in Ojai this Friday 8/24 at 6pm at the Ojai Athletic Club and again next Friday 8/31 at the Deer Lodge at 9pm. I asked Scott Smith, the band's keyboardist, what they are looking forward to most with the Deer Lodge gig, and he said, "It's one of the few regular venues for a full rock band in Ojai, so we’re glad to be coming home after being on the road down in San Diego." Myridian recently performed for the troops at Camp Pendleton.

They've always stayed true to their original music, but plan to surprise fans with some familiar sounds next week, "We’ve worked up a few covers for the Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Steely Dan fans, and Lady Sheila, our groovin’ bass goddess will be with us!"

Since summer is just about over, and I would like it to linger on, I thought we should take a listen to the first track on their CD, Prime Myridian, aptly named, "Summer of My Mind." Tune in at Radio Ojai.
