Groovin' on the Green
Groovin' on the Green
The very popular Summer Concert Series "Groovin' on the Green' continues this year with many great musical acts!
Concerts are held rain or shine and feature not only great regional musical talent, but locally provided food and other side entertainment items - like a hot air balloon tethered ride. See the 'Cool Dawg' enjoying a July concert at our blog.
About The Village Green:
As you look into the park, you can see the majestic shape of Whiteside Mountain and Devils Courthouse. As you drive thru the entrance a great view of Terrapin Mountain stands straight ahead. The parks gardens, with an emphasis on native plants and preservation of our area's natural beauty, vary from wildflower beds, grassy fields, wetlands, and wooded areas while creating rooms with specific interests, like the native azalea garden and a fern room. The green space and flowerbeds are a visual reflection that the community cares about what Cashiers has to offer.
The Village Green began in 1992, when a motel chain purchased two acres of land at the southwest corner of the crossroads. Dismayed at the prospect of losing their village atmosphere, three residents - Al Balestiere, Elizabeth Davenport and John Lupton - purchased the land from the motel firm and gave it to a nonprofit charitable corporation for the Cashiers community. Please view The Village Green Video here.
The remaining schedule for these concerts follows:
AUG 12th - "LES FRERES MICHOT"
Les Frères Michot started playing together as an all-brothers Cajun band in 1986, although the individual musicians have played with each other and with numerous other groups since about 1968. The group plays traditional Cajun music in the all-acoustic "bal de maison" (house dance) style that was prevalent before the advent of electric amplification, and the Michot’s aim to preserve this style of Cajun music. They use no drums or electric instruments, and their music has a strong vocal component with all lyrics in French
AUG 26th - "THE FISHSTICKS"
The Fishsticks are Brevard's own Rock-Funk cover band.The band consists of seasoned local musicians who play for the love of music with a touch of Blues, to rooted Reggae, you will find it easy to get on your feet and difficult to stay in your seat.
SEPT 2nd - "ANGELA REIGN"
Angela grew up in Cincinnati Ohio. As a child, she was a talented singer, dancer and actress, and became a standout performer in theatre, musicals and choir. As an adult, Angela decided to combine her many talents in an effort to do the thing that feeds her very soul, entertain audiences of all ages.
To see Angela perform is to know that she lives to be on the stage. She pours her heart and soul into every note of every song.
One such performance in 2010 caught the attention of talented songwriter and producer, Wil Hodge. Impressed by Angela’s vocal power, range and stage presence, Wil asked to partner with Angela on the creation of an upcoming album. The result is a compilation of songs that run the spectrum from passionate lullaby to sultry blues to good ole’ southern rock n’ roll.
SEPT 9th - Featuring "A Taste of Cashiers" and " Hurricane Creek Band"
SEPT 16th - "CAROL STRICKLAND"
