Concert Lineup
June 17 – 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.
July 15 – The New Orleans Jazz Stompers: The New Orleans Jazz Stompers are a traditional jazz band that features a front line of trumpet, clarinet and trombone and a rhythm section of piano, sousaphone, banjo and drums. Liam Parke is the featured vocalist. They play jazz styles of the early 20th century that came from New Orleans and then spread across the country and worldwide.
August 19 – 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.”
September 16 – The 80’s Walkmen: Playing the best of 80’s college rock and new wave, the 80’s Walkmen are sure to bring you back to the days of jamming to your cassette mix-tape in your dorm room or on your car stereo.
