Four Fun Concerts
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: May 2023
The Slopes are alive with the sound of Sapphire Valley’s summer concert series.
Too MUCH Sylvia
Spring and summer mean many things on the Plateau but some of the most joyous and anticipated events are our outdoor concerts.
Music and dancing under the stars are synonymous with weekends in the mountains and among the most anticipated are Sapphire Valley Resort’s Concerts on the Slopes, held at the base of Ski Sapphire Valley.
This series of four concerts bring fun to the middle of the week each month throughout the season, beginning on Tuesday, June 27, at 7:00 P.M. with the versatile band Too MUCH Sylvia.
After a fun day in the sun bring the entire family out to cool off in the night air with a soft summer breeze blowing and the sounds of music wafting through the air.
Too MUCH Sylvia is a four-piece band who have played together since 2000 so their sound is polished, and they know how to entertain a crowd. Featuring smooth vocal harmonies, a sense of fun, and a playlist that includes everything from beach music, soft melodies, 70s funk, 80s rock, Motown, and more, this group can play it all.
Steve Long, their primary vocalist, and guitarist won the prestigious Male Vocalist of the year with the Carolina Beach Music Association. With those musical chops, we think beach music lovers should start warming up their shag dancing skills now. Eddie Howie plays bass and can sing it all, from 80s rock to the Jersey Boys. The keyboardist, Rick Lee, has been known to liven things up with a few rock and roll songs, and drummer Don Leonard keeps it all lively.
The Ace Party Band will play on July 18, The Embers on August 8, and the Cat5 Band on September 3. Make plans now to attend all and if you buy season tickets you can get all four for $75. Otherwise, tickets are $22 in advance or $25 the day of the show. Parking is plentiful and free, so bring your friends, family, food, and beverages for an evening of fun under the Carolina stars.
Sapphire Valley Resort Marketing Director Linda Foxworth says, “our concerts are great fun for our resort guests, but also for the entire community and our employees”.
Celebrating their 22nd year this season, we couldn’t agree more.
