Summer Outdoor Event Showcase: Santa Pod Racecourse


This summer, Dixiebird Records had a blast supporting Santa Pod Raceway during two adrenaline-fueled racing events: Dragstalgia and the Summer Retro Show & Nationals. These thrilling gatherings combined the thrill of fast cars with the electrifying energy of live music, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that left us yearning for more.

At the Summer Nationals and Retro Weekend, we had the privilege of showcasing some truly remarkable talent. Kai Hoffman Jazz Singer, accompanied by her Dixie Swing Band, delivered mesmerizing performances that transported the crowd to the golden era of swing and jazz. Their soulful melodies and infectious rhythms set the perfect tone for an incredible retro weekend.





The energetic rockabilly, 50s style of The Top Cats had everyone on their feet, dancing and dancing away in Fuellers Bar, and of course, our very own Kerri Layton took the stage, spinning an eclectic mix of retro vinyl soul and jazz that kept the day flowing with a nostalgic vibe. Together, these artists captivated the audience and added an extra layer of magic to the event.

During the Dragstalgia weekender, we were thrilled to host the talented bands These Wicked Rivers and Little Dave & the Sun Sessions on the main stage. These Wicked Rivers unleashed their authentic rock sound.


Little Dave & the Sun Sessions took everyone on a musical journey back in time, rockabilly and 50s rock 'n' roll sound, igniting the crowd with their high-energy performance channeling the spirit of the era with their incredible musicianship and infectious stagemanship. These talented acts truly added an extra dose of excitement to the already buzzing event, creating an atmosphere of pure rock 'n' roll bliss.
