Meet Grupo Monitor
Oxnard’s own.
Our first Palomazo hosted by PipiripauHeritage Square - Oxnard, CA
A teacher, a business owner, and a military girl walk onto a stage. Sounds like the start of a joke, but for us, it’s Grupo Monitor.
Our name Monitor comes from the speaker facing the band that helps us hear and feel the music together. To us, it’s about connection: listening to each other and sharing something we love.
For a decade in the 805, we’ve kept the songs we grew up with alive, the ones our parents played, and the ones that still bring us together. Hearing you sing along, share a dance, or make a new memory is why we love doing this.
While some of us may be more introverted (mainly our singer 😂), the stage is where we feel most comfortable. There’s a little magic in letting ourselves be seen: being vulnerable, creating together, and sharing the most authentic parts of who we are. In those moments, we feel at home, and we hope you feel that warmth, too.
Rounding out our live band: drums and bass, played by a rotating crew of local musicians who join us on stage.
Local stages. Shared memories.
Where we’ve played.
We love playing for our local community, from neighborhood celebrations to festival stages. These are just some of the places we’ve shared our music, with so many more events and memories along the way.
