"Music has always been a part of our community's DNA," said Judy Gascoyne, also known as the performing artist "Groovy Judy," and the concert series producer at the Art & Music Center. "We wanted to make sure Rio Vista had accessible entertainment where families can gather safely. These concerts are not just about the music; they are about bringing neighbors and families together to enjoy our beautiful downtown while boosting local business by increasing foot traffic along Main Street. They are also funded by the community through donations and local sponsors.
