June 13 – The Sunflower Concert Series 2023 season kicks off with Abbey Road LIVE! Since 2002, Abbey Road LIVE! has been rocking the music of the Beatles. Initially a tribute to the “Abbey Road” album, the band has expanded its scope to include nearly 150 Beatles tunes, from all eras of the Fab Four’s career. The band specializes in complete, start-to-finish album performances of masterpieces such as“Abbey Road,” “Magical Mystery Tour,” “Rubber Soul,” “Revolver” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band.”
July 18 – The Original Splitz Band. They are described as, “A mixed drink of the classic Motown sound, part 1970’s funk and disco flavor, a dash of the old-school and contemporary R & B, and a guaranteed good time!”
Aug. 29 – Elf Power is an American indie-rock band that originated in Athens, Georgia. The group’s most recent album, “Artificial Countrysides” was released in 2022.
Sept. 26 – The Randall Bramblett Band. Bramblett, a Jesup, Ga. native, may be known as Southern Rock Royalty for playing on stage with rock heroes like Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers Band, Steve Winwood and Widespread Panic. Respected for his songwriting, he penned the title track for the Grammy-nominated Blind Boys of Alabama’s new album, adding to a long catalog of songs covered by Raitt, Gregg Allman, Bonnie Bramlett, Hot Tuna, Delbert McClinton and more. But it’s Bramblett’s own career as frontman, creating 12 albums, where his artistry is on full display. “One of the South’s most lyrical and literate songwriters.” Rolling Stone
