Dawes Does The Drive-In With 88.5
• Public, member-supported Southern California Triple A 88.5-FM is hosting Dawes at its first drive-in concert in Orange County on Saturday, Oct. 17. The acclaimed L.A.-based folk rock group will perform songs from their brand new Rounder Records’ album, Good Luck With Whatever, as part of 88FIVE LIVE at Drive-In OC at City National Grove of Anaheim. The show is being produced in partnership with Nederlander Concerts.
“Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we’ve really missed producing our own shows,” said 88.5-FM GM Patrick Osburn. “We are beyond excited to be partnering with Nederlander and getting back to bringing live music to our concert-starved audience.”
88.5-FM Program Director Marc “Mookie” Kaczor concurs, noting that response to the idea of the station presenting drive-in concerts has been positive, as he remarked, “A great deal of innovation has come out of these difficult times. We’ve been itching to get back to live music, and a drive-in show is the way to do it. 88.5-FM, Dawes and Nederlander are beyond excited to make this concert happen!”
Tickets for Dawes’ drive-in concert are now on sale via AXS.com. Tickets are $200-$350 per vehicle, and the number of passengers must not exceed the number of seatbelts in the vehicle.
88.5-FM is a combined effort of KCSN at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and KSBR at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, which began simulcasting in 2017, linking the Los Angeles County and Orange County-based signals.
