A music festival is going to bring together funk, gospel, and R&B music groups to raise money to help rebuild a historic Santa Monica Mountains movie ranch destroyed by fire.
Saturday’s event on the grounds of Paramount Ranch is called Sonic Boom.
"We have always wanted to create a new music festival that brings together the music, and artists that often do get to play a cool gathering like this," said Zach Lupitin. He's with the band “Dustbowl Revival,” and is curating the music for the festival.
A half dozen bands are set to perform.
Organizers of Saturday’s Sonic Boom event hope it can become a regular feature on the Paramount Ranch property. Proceeds are going towards rebuilding the historic site, which was destroyed by the 2018 Woolsey wildfire.
