The 2024 Groovin’ on the Green Season picks up steam with a pair of June performances – Nero Simon & The Sunsetters on June 7, and The Commodore Fox Band on June 21. You can find more information at villagegreencashiersnc.com/concerts.
Now that we’re deep into what’s shaping up to be the Plateau’s busiest Busy Season, we’re all invited to enjoy the happy sounds of Groovin’ on the Green – a bangin’ summer-long jam that has visitors and locals swinging all season long to performances by some of the area’s most entertaining bands.
“We here at The Village Green love being able to offer free and fun family programming, that’s accessible to everyone in our community, and that can be enjoyed without having to drive down the mountain,” says Ashlie Mitchell, the Village Green’s executive director.
For this month, the June 7 Groovin’ will feature the rockin’ rhythms of Nero Simon & The Sunsetters.
They’re an American rock band formed in Atlanta in 2021 by singer-songwriter Nero Simon. Blending styles of classic rock and 70s California folk, this eight-piece ensemble delivers a sun-drenched sound that invites you to discover a trove of original music filled with visions of sunsets, sand and surf.
With the Sunsetters, Simon sought to angle Americana music in a different direction, embarking on a sound that doesn’t draw its breath from the heartland or the mountains, but instead is firmly rooted at sea level, pulsating from the coastlines, islands and keys of the American South.
As one reviewer notes, the band’s music “takes a deeper dive into the Beach Boys’ more serious era, with none of their abstractions — a well interpreted soft-rock potpourri.”
The second June Groovin’, The Commodore Fox Band set for June 21. Commodore Fox can be described as “your favorite party band that plays all the rock and dance hits from 70s, 80s,
to today!”
To ensure that The Village Green can maintain the ability to provide free concerts for the community, the purchase of a 10×10 tent rental supports this cause. Tents are provided, set up by the Village Green, and will be ready for use at your time of arrival!
Upon arrival, please visit with the Community Event Coordinator at The Village Green table to check-in and to be sure you get to your correct tent.
Please bring your own chairs and tables.
“Rain or shine, the concerts kick off at 6:00 P.M. on The Village Green Commons Lawn,” says Mitchell. “Grab your lawn chairs and blankets, pack your picnic baskets and coolers, and four-legged friends are welcome to join in on the fun – as long as they remained leashed!”
