Area Music Venues and Musicians Tune into the New Normal to Keep the Music Alive

  • By Steve West-

As we continue to figure out what normal is going to look like in a post-Covid19 world, the music scene is ever adapting. Jim Shelley, owner of Fanatics Pub & Pizza in Lima, has come up with an innovative way to bring live music back in the era of social distancing. He has announced his Drive-In Concert Series.

Fanatics is located adjacent to the now-closed Sav-a-lot grocery store in Lima. With the permission of the property owners, Jim has come up with a plan to use the store parking lot to hold concerts. The concept is that approximately 30 cars will be allowed to enter the property.  Each will be assigned a parking space,  with a space left open between cars.

Concert attendees will be allowed to exit their cars on one side of the vehicle only, and will be restricted to the empty space next to their cars, thereby keeping a consistent social distance between everyone.  Some restrictions will apply. Motorcycles and pets are not allowed. Patrons can order food and soft drinks from Fanatics by phone or on their website, and it will be delivered to your vehicle. Alcoholic beverages will not be served during the concerts.

“I’m just really excited to bring back live music,” said Mr. Shelley. “So many things have been cancelled because of the virus, and this is one way we can still get together and enjoy concerts while still being socially responsible.” He has been in contact with county and town officials and has their respective blessings to go ahead with the idea.  

The concert lineup is as follows:

  • Tues. June 2 – Steve Grills and the RoadmastersTues.
  • June 9 – Pete Griffith Band
  • Tues. June 16 TBATues.
  • June 23 – Hanna PK
  • Tues. June 30 – Gabe Stillman

Please visit Fanatics website at www.fanaticspub.com for guidelines. 

Until we’re all able to get outside and enjoy live music, here are a few local performers who are live streaming on a regular basis. Please note that all times and performances are subject to change.  Please check with the individual performers for times and changes and explore other options not listed here.
