Jazz, Slugs on Tap

Whether your taste leans toward the jazz music of Larry Carlton or the offerings of the Banana Slug String Band, Ventura County’s April 21 Earth Day celebration will be packed with entertainment.

If you know jazz, you probably know Carlton is a Grammy award-winner. But you may not know the slightest bit about the Banana Slugs. They are a San Francisco-based group that visits schools, children’s festivals, parks and fairs using their music, puppetry and improvisational acting to convey environmental messages.

These two acts will be joined by other musical entertainers throughout the day at Ventura Harbor Village from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is free to the public. For more information, call 643-0339.
