When long-time friends make music together, something magical happens. Hear how four Santa Paula musicians put their own spin on rhythm & blues and classic rock, on Friday, March 7, 2014, at the Museum of Ventura County’s Agriculture Museum, in Santa Paula. On that night, “The R & B’z,” featuring Robert Guizar, Robert Pond, John Avila and Brian Hernandez, will perform from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Admission is $10 for the general public, $5 for Museum members, and $2 for kids with an adult. Seating is first come, first seated.

From 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., The Underground Gourmet food truck will park outside the museum and those listening to music can purchase burgers, wraps and tacos to bring inside. Tables will be provided.

Santa Paula is the common denominator for “The R & B’z.” Three members were born and raised in town. Robert Guizar and Robert Pond have been friends for decades and went all through school together. John Avila is also a native son and Brian Hernandez married a woman from town. Lead vocals and the keyboard are Robert Guizar’s contributions to “The R & B’z.” His musical background includes stints with Blues and Rock and Roll bands. Robert Pond, on bass, plays those styles as well as Hawaiian, Country and Bluegrass. Lead guitar is John Avila’s instrument. He toured with the well-known Latin Rock and Roll band, “Malo.” Brian Hernandez plays drums for many Santa Clara Valley bands.
