The Vina Robles Amphitheatre may have a competitor for the moniker of the most beautiful live music venue in Santa Barbara County. En Fuego Events has brought a family-friendly live music series to the serene Elings Park, which is nestled in the mountains of the Santa Barbara Mesa.

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. - Darren Zorba Cruz is making the most of the recent lockdown and is inviting other musicians in the 805 area code to join him.
Cruz calls it the Free Love Project.
Since he is missing out on playing live with his bands, including Irie Ites, SkaDaddyZ and Strand Quentin, he decided to collaborate with people from all genres.
He has already recorded nearly a dozen songs with Civil Conflict, Raging Arb, the Redheads and more.
One of those songs will be released in January and a streaming concert could be next.
