Saturday evening the place to be is at the Saturdays on Pine Summer Concerts. Brought to you by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce, The Ugly Dog Pub, and other generous sponsors, these lively Saturday evenings bring out young and old alike to mingle, dance, and listen to great music.
Beginning on June 6 and continuing through August, these concerts start at 6:00 P.M. and are held at the Kelsey Hutchinson Park on Pine Street. Bring your lawn chairs and a picnic, or have a bite to eat at a local eatery before or after the show, and join the fun. It’s truly a great place for friends and families to stop, unwind, relax and enjoy great music and good times.
Saturdays on Pine presents some of the finest bands from the region. Whether you like jazz, country, blues, rock and roll, bluegrass, or folk music, you will likely find it all here.
Kicking off the series on June 6 will be the Lauren Mitchell Band, one of Florida’s most popular blues bands. Featuring Lauren’s soulful voice and supported by a great band, their performance is sure to set the stage for a great season.
Other musical acts scheduled include Shane Bridges, who claims musical influences from Merle Haggard to Tom Petty; the Hobohemians from Athens, Georgia, known for playing popular music from the 1920s and 30s; Porch Forty, the funk, southern rock band from Cullowhee, North Carolina; and Highlands’ own Wellstrung, playing bluegrass, folk, and Americana music — mountain music at its finest.
