Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2018/05 - May
Tune in to the sounds of summer during Cashiers popular concert series, Groovin’ On the Green.
This season welcomes a lineup of favorite performers and exciting new talent to the stage. Blankets and lawn chairs cover the green with happy people. Or, you can kick off your shoes and dance in the grass. That’s what “Groovin’” is all about.
Groovin’ On the Green is at 6:30 P.M. Friday nights (rain or shine) at The Village Green Commons on Frank Allen Road in Cashiers. Bring a chair and your family and friends. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash and under the control of the owner at all times. Pack a picnic supper or cooler or purchase food and beverages from one of the vendors on site. Concerts are free, but donations are encouraged and appreciated.
The first concert of the season is on the Saturday before Memorial Day, May 26 (the only concert on a Saturday). Some concerts series save the best for last but Groovin’ gets the party started with blues legend Mac Arnold & A Plate Full O’Blues. Mac Arnold is true music royalty with a career-spanning decades. He’s shared the stage with music greats such as James Brown, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Otis Redding and BB King. The list goes on and on. His dynamic stage presence, incredible talent and soulful voice make for a truly unforgettable show.
Friday, June 1, the concerts move back to their Friday night spot with the powerful sounds of Geoff McBride. Previously a contestant on “The Voice,” Geoff garnered rich praise from all the judges, including guest coach Lionel Richie who enthused “when Geoff walked in…Boom! “
Groovin’ on the Green seems to get better and better each year and this first two acts promise to usher in another great season.
