Upcoming Events

With influences from blues, honky tonk, jazz and polka, Western Swing music creates a swingin' beat that is both danceable and listenable.

Celebrating Bob Wills' 120th birthday, Stellar Shows presents a Western swing celebration featuring two of the hottest bands performing in the genre: Southwest Biscuit Co. and West of Texas. Snakebite Sven will be our DJ.

The Southwest Biscuit Co. is everything that is good about Western swing, retro jazz and big band orchestras. Whether it's an original number or a classic cover song, the band evokes memories of Bob Wills and Hank Penny with all the right rhythms, correct vocal inflections - and tasty licks on their solos. SWB was nominated for an Ameripolitan Award recently.

West of Texas has raised a lot of ruckus lately with the release of their highly-touted album, Hot Motel Nights, with an accompanying video that features bandleader Jerry Zinn, who was nominated for Ameripolitan Western Swing Group in 2024. Zinn's band recently opened for Dale Watson's December show at Campus JAX.

PLUS - Experience "The Birth and History of Western Swing" with the exclusive LA screening of the movie by that name, prior to the Birthday Ball.

Starting at 2:30 pm, the compelling film will be shown on the 2 large hi-def screens onstage at Campus JAX.

At 75 minutes, the film covers all aspects of the genre with in-depth history, plenty of music and many celebrity comments.

A standout in the Celtic folk/rock scene, the female-fronted Craic in the Stone has a distinctive sound and delivers electrifying live performances.

​Over the past decade, the band has captivated audiences at festivals and music venues and released five albums, building a loyal fan base of "Craic Heads." (Craic is a Gaelic word which means good conversation, fun, and music!) ​

​The band's wide-ranging musical influences blend traditional Celtic tunes with unexpected twists and bold experimentation. From high-energy renditions of Irish favorites like "Whiskey in the jar” into a classic rock cover from Led Zeppelin or Fleetwood Mac, followed by lively originals, Craic in the Stone's versatility knows no bounds.

True magic happens when they take the stage — this is a party band, pure and simple.

Kid Ramos’ work with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the James Harman Band, Los Fabulocos and the Mannish Boys made him famous for his blues guitar. His background is actually much wider, and his chops are as much Tex-Mex as jazz-rooted and informed by the blues.

Kid was an originator of what he calls Cali-Mex music, a fusion of blues, R&B, cancionero and Chicano sounds that reflect the influences that come from being part of California's Mexican-American community. Cali-Mex encompasses rock, tejano, and country-western swing, with a garnish of talent and high style. His new band, Kid Ramos y Los Suavos, is ready to unleash their latest take on Cali-Mex on May 4.

Opening the show is Pachuco José y Los Diamantés. José is a living tribute to the Pachuco style of the 1940s, associated with zoot suit fashion, jump blues, jazz and swing. His musical soul is rooted in the rhythms of old school rock & roll, and José has ventured into the world of fashion, crafting his own line of classy Pachuco style. Jose’s history is one of resilience, faith, and a harmonious blend of Pachuco vibes - with rock & roll rhythms.

See both of these important bands in a fiesta setting at the coolest supper club in the OC: Campus JAX in Newport Beach on Cinco de Mayo Eve - Sunday May 4, at the Quatro de Mayo Fiesta.

(Campus JAX is a supper club. An entree is required per seat, starting around $10. If you prefer, a $10 donation to Feed the Need will be charged instead of food. No bar minimums.)

3950 Campus Dr., Newport Beach near John Wayne.
