Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to Stage New Jersey’s First Non-Virtual Drive-In Show

To raise funds for the Count Basie Center and New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund, the rockers are set to perform at Monmouth Park Racetrack on July 11 amid the COVID-19 crisis.

AceShowbiz -Rockers Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes will make history next month (July) when they perform New Jersey’s first non-virtual drive-in show during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group will perform at Monmouth Park Racetrack on 11 July to raise funds for the Count Basie Center and New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund.

“The Asbury Jukes and I are so excited that we can play this first of its kind live concert and help get New Jersey started on a quick and healthy return to normal…,” Southside Johnny said in a statement. “We’ll safely see everyone July 11th.”

Drive-in concerts have become part of the new normal for live music in recent weeks with Keith Urban and DJ D-Nice among the stars who have performed for fans at open-air movie venues.

Meanwhile, country star Alan Jackson has joined the drive-in concert revolution after announcing plans to play two socially-distanced shows in Alabama this week (June 05 & 06) in Cullman and Fairhope, and the Eli Young Band will make history later this month when they become the first act to perform a drive-in concert at Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
