Let’s Go to the Green
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2017/06 - June
Sitting just steps away from the Crossroads in Cashiers lies the heart of the community, The Village Green and Village Commons.
Here you’ll find activities throughout the year, but none is more universally loved than the Groovin’ on the Green concert series, held each Friday evening during the summer season at 6:30 P.M., rain or shine. These concerts, sponsored by the Greater Cashiers Area Merchants Association and The Village Green, are well-attended and enjoyed by all ages.
People in the know keep their “Groovin” supplies at hand and ready to go – lawn chairs; a cooler with beverages for adults and kids; a picnic, either lovingly prepared at home or purchased from a local eatery; and blankets for sitting on the lawn or wrapping up in if there’s a nip in the air.
You’ll hear music of every genre here and are likely to acquire some new favorites as bands from across the Southeast take the stage. June promises a lineup you won’t want to miss so mark your calendars now.
The Colby Dietz Band performs on Friday, June 9. They’ve been described as a “rough and tumble string band with hearts of gold and cite a broad range of influences, drawing from a unique blend of sounds rooted in rock, outlaw country, bluegrass, folk, and singer-songwriter music.”
The folk sounds of the Bo Spring Band featuring the songwriting duo of Lauren and Bo Spring will entertain on June 16.
Rounding out the month are two dynamic female vocalists who are perennial crowd favorites. Rockell Scott hits the stage on June 23. With a unique blend of gospel and jazz, her rich vocals delight crowds of all ages. Andalyn closes out the month with a concert on June 30. Her commanding stage presence, impressive vocal range, and lively stage presence always brings crowds to their feet.
Concerts are always free, but donations are encouraged and appreciated.
