The Fort Collins Musicians Association (FoCoMA), Odell Brewing, and Sustain Music & Nature have come together to produce a brand new, social distancing friendly concert series at the historic Holiday Twin Drive-In Theater. The summer live music series called the “FoCoMX Drive & Jive” will bring live music to the big screen every Tuesday night all summer long. The series will kick off on June 9th and will feature Northern Colorado bands playing live music to audiences safely watching from their cars. Cars will be a minimum of 10 ft apart and lawn chairs are permitted in front of patrons vehicles. 

"Just like everyone else, our music scene has struggled to find creative ways to continue working and performing in these uncertain times. We are grateful for such a supportive community that has worked with FoCoMA to produce a fun (and safe) concert series. We are thrilled to continue supporting our musicians, our music industry and for the opportunity to do our part to bring some live and local music back to Fort Collins this summer." - Greta Cornett FoCoMA President
