The tour is set to begin in June and a portion of all proceeds will be donated to GlobalGiving Coronavirus Relief Fund. The concerts will remain compliant with individual state social distancing regulations, allowing fans to enjoy the show from the safety of their own vehicles.

Fort Defiance Live at Magic Rat Live Music

Make plans to experience Fort Defiance, live in concert, this Thursday Jun 25 from 8 – 10 p.m. at Magic Rat Live Music (111 Chestnut St. Fort Collins).

Fort Defiance is an Americana duo from Nashville, Tennessee, hailed for their honest songwriting, timeless harmonies, and high-energy stage performance.

Meeting in the summer of 2014, Jordan Eastman and Laurel Lane began touring together under the promise they would not attempt to date each other – one year later, they were married and had developed such a chemistry that requests for shows came pouring in.  In response, they quit their jobs, moved into the van, and began touring relentlessly – playing over 250 shows, in 46 states the first year, without the help of management or outside booking agents – and they haven’t slowed down since.

Their passion and grassroots sincerity has garnered heavy attention from around the country, causing critics to call them “breathtakingly seductive” (That Music Mag), “perfectly haunting” (The Indie Sound) and “an absolute must see band” (I Love KC Music).

This is a 21 and over show
