Soak Up Some Sounds
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2016/07 - July
Music and weekends go hand in hand in Highlands with many opportunities to join your friends and neighbors listening to great live music.
Friday Night Live concerts take place every Friday night at Highlands Town Square from 6:00 until 8:00 P. M. This year, Friday Night Live is part of the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina, which offers opportunities to hear, learn about and enjoy mountain music. Their July line-up features some of the best mountain music in the area — Foxfire on July 1; Southern Highlands on July 8; Tallulah River Band on July 15; Ray Adams and Sycamore Flats on July 22; and, the Johnny Webb Band on July 29.
Saturday evenings the fun moves to the Kelsey Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street for Saturdays on Pine. 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. These concerts also start at 6:00 P.M. Bring your lawn chairs and a picnic, or have a bite to eat at 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. July’s line-up features something for everyone’s taste. On July 2, Landmark Realty sponsors a concert by Fish Out of Water, a lively band playing a mix of rock, funk, reggae and hip hop — just the thing to get the July 4 celebrations started on a lively note. Lyric, a favorite from Asheville, will be bringing their pop, rock, soul, funk sound to the stage on July 9. Rounding out the month are the Colby Deitz Band, an Americana folk rock band on July 16; the blues rock sounds of Andew Scotchie and The River Rats on July 23; and, the country rock band The Buchanan Boys on July 30.
