Just a quick reminder, you can get tickets now for the 12th annual Summer Meltdown Austism Awareness Art & Music Festival. Nearly 40 bands are going to rock three stages at the Santa Clarita Skate Park on Saturday, April 25. There’ll also be art, food and skate/BMX demos, all for a good cause – the Yes I Can program at local high schools for students with and without disabilities. Tickets are just $25 for the all-ages festival. For more details and tickets, visit summermeltdownscv dot com.

Saturday night on SCVTV’s “House Blend” hosted by yours truly, we’re bringing a progressive acoustic trio out of the woodwork for an encore telecast. The group Woodwork made its TV debut on the show in 2014, and the former College of the Canyons music students displayed virtuosity way beyond their years. Don’t miss violinist Avery Merritt, keyboardist Brendan Coyle and guitarist Rory on “House Blend” at 10 p.m. Saturday, right here on SCVTV and streaming everywhere at scvtv dot com.

And looking ahead to Wednesday night, April 25, Santa Clarita comedian Wyatt “The Riot” Adam will host a comedy night at the Bier Academy on Soledad in Canyon Country. Wyatt promises “an amazing selection of comedy” about life in Awesometown and its surrounds. He’s also performing a solo set to cap off the night. Sounds like tons of fun for 18 and olders. Showtime’s 8 p.m. Phone 661-298-1321 for more info.
