Since last June, when CBF Productions launched the first drive-in live music experience in California at the Ventura Fairgrounds, there has been a rebirth of live music events on the south coast. A litany of diverse acts have taken the stage at the venue including, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Fitz and The Tantrums, Los Lobos, Tower of Power, and Sublime to name a few.

But the COVID safe venue shows no sign of slowing down productions into the fall. CBF continues to book more popular acts all the time, including some top names that were initially scheduled to play the ill-fated Santa Barbara Bowl 2020 season. This Friday, October 9, one of Santa Barbara’s favorite bands, Slightly Stoopid, will be bringing their Reggae drenched upbeat tunes to the Fairgrounds. The band, founded in Ocean Beach back in 1994, has released 13 studio albums packed with their unique amalgamation of pop music. Their sound has been influenced by many musical genres, including folk, rock, blues, hip-hop, funk, metal, punk, and Reggae.

After postponing the 2020 San DiegoCounty Fair in April and cancelling most of its 300-plus planned events for the year, the Del Mar Fairgrounds has pivoted to innovative ventures in order to generate revenue.

This year it stored approximately 4,000 rental cars for Enterprise Holdings and hosted a drive-in and pick-up food and beverage program called Fair Food Fix, among other endeavors.

Now, the 370-acre fairgrounds is adding something new.

Actively Booking

Produced by Ventura-based CBF Productions LLC, Concerts in Your Car is a drive-in music festival series and the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ latest effort. It kicked off in July at the Ventura County Fairgrounds and, as of late September, will take place concurrently at the Del Mar Fairgrounds through early January.

Clayton Lisy, also known as GHOSTLUVME, lost his mother and two sisters at a young age. As music was always his foundational creative outlet, it became for him a cathartic vessel of healing and reflection. He first fell in love with the sounds of music when he picked up a guitar at the age of ten. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Broward County, Florida, part of Lisy’s diverse taste in music can be attributed to having lived on both the East Coast and West Coast throughout his youth.

His latest album VIVA embodies that ethos. Mixed and mastered by Grammy Award winning super producer Zaytoven, Ghost is ambitious about his approach:

“Some of the sounds on this project are not hip hop, which made it a very different yet exciting project to make.  It is a beautiful time for this kind of multi-genre music to come out, as we are showing people there is no linear way of doing anything.” 

Poignant wordplay and unpredictable timbres being hallmarks, he’s released projects that defy the norms of traditional rap and pop— a rare melodic mutation that can only be classified as its own genre.
