Concerts on the Slopes
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/07 - July
The Sapphire Valley Resort offers something for everyone who wants to enjoy the mountains of
Western North Carolina.
Their schedule of outdoor activities is jam-packed with fun in the mountain woods, by the lakes, and on the links and courts. Bring your entire family and take part in their family-friendly fun.
One of the most popular events is the Concert on the Slopes series. After a day spent hiking, golfing, swimming, or ziplining, it’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy the cool evening air.
At 7:00 P.M. Tuesday, July 19, you’ll be seeing Drive Time Band. This is an Atlanta-based show band that’s been performing since 1994. Jazz musician, arranger, writer, producer, and business owner Mack McKibben started the group as a jazz duo pleasing audiences young and old alike all around the Southeast. The group has since evolved into a 10-piece show band made up of a smoking five-piece rhythm section, five-voice ensemble of tight harmony, all seasoned with a powerful
horn section.
Combining the best of Atlanta musicians, the artists of Drive Time bring decades of collective experience from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Jazz circuit, to country, blues, metal, and pop audiences, making them a “melting pot” of exciting diversity. Their energy and excitement is spectacularly infectious and you’ll find it hard to sit still…so don’t!
Get up and dance to songs like “Don’t Stop Believing,” “I Can See Clearly Now,” “Margaritaville,” and so much more. If you’d like a preview of what’s to come, visit DriveTimeBand.com.
Be sure to bring a blanket or a chair. All concerts are $20. Concerts on the Slopes will be held on the Sapphire Valley Ski Slopes, behind the Sapphire Valley Community Center, three miles east of Cashiers on Highway 64. Prepare to sing along to Drive Time Band, Tuesday, July 19 at 7:00 P.M. For tickets and further information, call (828) 743-7663.
