Summer Park Concert Series: FM Kicks Band
Thursday, July 9, 2026 | 7:00 – 9:00 PM | Gooseberry Mound Park, Moorhead, MN
Enjoy an evening of live big band jazz with the FM Kicks Band as part of the Summer Park Concert Series at Gooseberry Mound Park.
Known for their high-powered instrumental and vocal performances, the FM Kicks Band performs a wide variety of jazz and swing favorites inspired by artists including Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, Ella Fitzgerald, Maynard Ferguson, and Count Basie. Audiences are invited to relax, dance, and enjoy an energetic evening of live music in the park.
Founded in 1975 by Dr. Edward Christianson, the FM Kicks Band was created to provide local musicians opportunities to perform classic big band literature, strengthen improvisational jazz skills, and connect with fellow music lovers. Today, as a nonprofit organization, the group also works with local schools to help promote and preserve America’s original musical art form through music education and outreach.
This activity is funded in part through an operating support grant from the Lake Region Arts Council through a Minnesota State legislative appropriation. Additional support is provided by The Arts Partnership, Fargo.
