A big announcement just in time for summer, Monmouth County is getting a brand-new live music destination.

ParkStage is a new outdoor concert experience created through a partnership between the Count Basie Center for the Arts and Monmouth County Tourism. It’s part of the Basie Center’s Centennial celebration and a lead-up to America’s 250th, bringing major acts, community energy, and a big boost to local businesses.

Joining us this morning to talk about what this means for the county and for concert-goers are Tom Arnone, Commissioner Director of the Monmouth County Board of Commissioners, and Adam Philipson, President and CEO of the Count Basie Center for the Arts.
