basie-drive-in-live-060120-220x146-9899480Darkened by the COVID-19 pandemic, Red Bank’s Count Basie Center for the Arts is taking its act to the track.

The storied venue plans to host a July 11 drive-in concert by  Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at Monmouth Park in Oceanport on July 11.

Billed as “New Jersey’s first-of-its kind drive-in concert experience,” the event is a fundraiser for both the Basie and the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund.

From a Basie announcement Monday morning:

Tickets ($150 per vehicle, $250 / $225 gold circle) go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.com and phone charge at 800-745-3000.

Only touchless, mobile tickets administered through the Ticketmaster app (iOS | Android) will be valid for the performance.

A maximum of four occupants will be permitted per vehicle.

“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,” said “Southside” Johnny Lyon. “Why sit at home when ‘We’re Havin’ A Party,’ drive-in style? We’ll safely see everyone July 11th.”
