KCLU to Hold Benefit Concert

Ventura County’s only locally based National Public Radio affiliate is holding a benefit concert Sunday. The KCLU event will feature National Public Radio newscaster Carl Kasell as master of ceremonies. He also will speak about his 44-year career in radio.

The Poncho Sanchez Jazz Band will bring its Latin jazz rhythm to the event at the Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo at 4 p.m. The band has performed throughout Europe and the United States and has received three Grammy nominations.

The concert is a major fund-raiser for the station, which is supported by listeners and Cal Lutheran University but receives no public funds. Tickets to the concert cost $75. For more information, call 493-3900.
