Sweet Groovin’ Sounds
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: May 2023
Groovin’ on the Green returns to The Village Green in Cashiers on most Friday nights through October.
The season on the Plateau officially begins Memorial Day weekend, and that means that the stage is set for the premiere Groovin’ on the Green concert.
That means that this year those first sweet sounds start on Friday, May 26 with beloved local band Nitrograss. Nitrograss, both sonically unique and visually appealing in their performances, provides a carefree and exciting atmosphere of pure acoustic ear-fodder. The percussive banjo of two-time national champion Charles Wood lays the foundation for the band’s unique style.
(This concert is sponsored by The Laurel Magazine. That means we’ll be there in the crowd. Please look for us and tell us what you’re thinking – about the communities, about your life, and about us. We mean it!)
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 and the show goes on rain or shine. Admission is free, though donations are encouraged and appreciated, and parking is plentiful.
On June 9, another crowd favorite, The Caribbean Cowboys, brings 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 on singing along. This concert is sponsored by Landmark Realty.
Bring a chair, your family, your friends and even your dog (who must be leashed and under your control at all times) and join the fun on the Green, Fridays at 6:30 P.M. 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 10×10 tents. If you’d like to book a tent, please visit cashiersvillagegreennc.com.
