Country music star Jon Pardi is playing to hundreds of cars, making up thousands of fans in Lot J outside TIAA Bank Field. “I mean, it’s a little different, but we have a loud PA and we’ll be rockin' -- so you’ll still get the live concert experience, and if you like my music, you’ll get to hear all my songs. We are playing like 75 minutes," Pardi told News4Jax. I think once everybody gets their space and they get situated they feel safe, it kind of feels normal.”Another drive-in concert is scheduled for Saturday night.
