PAC’s Super Year-end Lineup
Written By: Mary Adair Trumbly - Highlands PAC | Issue: September 2024
The Highlands Performing Arts Center brings a dynamic concert calendar that’ll carry us to the end of the year.
The Darren Nicholson Band
September brings a different energy to the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau – as evidenced by the varied lineup of live performances at Highlands Performing Arts Center.
Saturday, September 7, will rock with a tribute to the Allman Brothers Band with End of the Line. End of the Line is the premiere Allman Brothers tribute band, endorsed by the Official Allman Brothers Museum, and The Big House. It carries on the legacy of the Allman Brothers with poise and power. They have carved up the Southeast with Sold-out shows.
End of the Line is making a name for themselves with a sound as classic and heavy as the original brothers themselves. From the authentic, raspy vocal approach of Juston Smith to the chugging drum/percussion train of Chase Bader, Dave Czuba and Ryan McClanahan, the band both pays homage while pushing the boundaries of the timeless and extensive catalog.
September 28 highlights bluegrass when The Darren Nicholson Band take the main stage. A Grammy-nominee and winner of 13 International Bluegrass Music Association awards, Darren Nicholson has taken his own brand of mountain music around the world. A regular for years on the Grand Ole Opry and a founding member of acclaimed bluegrass group Balsam Range. Darren now spends his time recording, writing new songs, and performing. You can catch Darren almost every week sharing the music he loves somewhere, traveling both nationally and internationally – as a solo artist, with his own Darren Nicholson Band, or in collaboration with other musicians. The Darren Nicholson Band is a group of Appalachian musicians who have common respect for and love of American acoustic music.
They are known for creatively blending bluegrass, folk, gospel, and swing, into a new music experience. A night not to be missed!
Bluegrass returns the Friday after Thanksgiving with the legendary Mark O’Connor’s An Appalachian Christmas featuring Maggie O’Connor.
A Pre-New Year’s Eve party takes place on Monday, December 30, with the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra.
All concerts begin at 7:30 P.M.
Highlands PAC is located at 507 Chestnut Street.
