Getting Your Groove On
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: June 2023
Groovin’ on the Green, the Cashiers concert series that’s drawn audiences from across the Southeast, energizes the month with a pair of performances.
Groovin’ on the Green, which launched its 2023 season with the May 26 concert by Nitrograss, extends the excitement with two shows this month.
These concerts are held at the Village Green on Frank Allen Road in Cashiers, most Friday nights throughout the season. Music starts at 6:30 P.M. and the show goes on rain or shine. Admission is free, though donations are encouraged and appreciated, and parking is plentiful.
On June 9, The Caribbean Cowboys bring their talents to stage. These slightly off-kilter cowboys have been entertaining audiences up and down the East Coast for over 30 years and these guys can, and do, play it all. From classic rock, blues, reggae, and country to, as their name suggests, beach tunes, you’ll enjoy a concert you won’t soon forget. Lead singer Steve Weams is a master of encouraging audience participation, so plan to sing along. This concert is sponsored by Landmark Realty Group.
Then, local favorites Zorki and Bill Berg deliver their acoustic mastery for a return to the Village Green on June 23. Zorki has been a presence on the Plateau for decades. As a young musician, he attracted large crowds while playing as a street musician in the parks of New York City. He was soon sharing the stage with some of New York’s finest musicians. Taking his music from New York to California and back, Zorki is now based here on the Plateau. He continues to perform coast to coast. His unique style of complex guitar and soothing vocals hooks audiences of all ages as he makes one guitar sound like a full band.
Bring a chair, your family, your friends and even your dog (who must be always leashed and under your control) and join the fun. Don’t forget to bring a picnic supper and a cooler of your favorite beverages, or you can purchase food and beverages from one of the vendors on site.
The Village Green will be providing a limited number of tents available for rental. If you’d like to book a tent, please visit villagegreencashiersnc.com.
