Fridays & Saturdays Sounds like Fun
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2016/06 - June
Weekends in Highlands offer so many opportunities for fun that it’s sometimes hard to pace yourself.
One thing you’ll want to make time for is one of the live music concerts under the stars on Friday and Saturday nights. Friday Night Live concerts take place at Highlands Town Square from 6:00 until 8:00 P.M. Saturdays on Pine are at the Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street and also begin at 6:00 P.M. These concerts offer the chance to hear some of the finest music our region has to offer.
This year Friday Night Live is part of the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina, which offers communities opportunities to hear, learn about, and enjoy mountain music.
On June 3, The Tallulah River Band will be playing their lively bluegrass favorites. On Friday, June 10, Southern Highlands bring their bluegrass sounds to the stage. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy traditional mountain dulcimer music with the Mountain Dulcimer Group on June 17. The Johnny Webb Band always draws a crowd playing country favorites, old and new, on June 24. Start July off on a happy note with the high energy sounds of Foxfire on July 1.
Saturdays on Pine offers a wide range of music, so no matter what genre you like you’ll find something to enjoy – jazz, country, blues, rock and roll, bluegrass, or folk.
Saturday, June 11, kicks off this season with Highlands’ own Wellstrung Band, a bluegrass band known for their lively sounds and lively banter. Fun is the name of the game for this band!
On June 18, Goldie and the Screamers bring their soul sound, featuring the texturally rich vocals of CaroMia Tiller, to the stage. Country lovers will not want to miss Joe Lasher Jr. on June 25. On July 2, the high energy band Fish Out of Water brings their positive message for all to enjoy.
