Spring Concert Series Awakens in North Augusta
Spring is here, and North Augusta is about to come alive with music! The Sharon Jones Amphitheatre, a true gem in our city, is kicking off its annual spring concert series with some amazing free performances that you won’t want to miss.
Rainy Beginnings
First up, let’s talk about the weather! Although there will be some rain, and possibly heavy at times, don’t let that discourage you. There’s a 100% chance of it early on, but fear not! It looks like the skies might clear up later. The high temperature today is expected to be around a comfy 68°F, with some breezy winds coming in from the south-southwest at about 15 to 25 mph. Later this evening, expect considerable clouds with a bit of a break as temperatures dip to around 39°F. So, if you’re planning to enjoy the music tonight, bring a light jacket to stay cozy!
A Tribute to a Music Legend
If you’re wondering about the amphitheatre’s name, it honors the late Sharon Jones, a talented soul and funk singer who proudly hailed from North Augusta. It’s only fitting that this beautiful venue is dedicated to someone who left such a remarkable mark on the music scene. The concert series is part of a broader effort to boost the cultural offerings in the city and draw in visitors from nearby areas too.
Fun on the Agenda!
Mark your calendars! The first performance in this year’s series is set for March 22, featuring Whiskey Run, a country group ready to get everyone tapping their toes. The fun continues on March 29 with the high-energy rock band, Velcro Pygmies, known for their killer renditions of hits from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Get ready to relive some classic memories!
Things heat up even more on May 3 when Kristal Mindingall, who just happens to be Sharon Jones’ niece and an incredible artist herself, brings her soul, gospel, and jazz vibes to the stage. And to wrap up this fantastic series, Goin’ South, a band reminiscent of legends like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tom Petty, will take the amphitheatre on May 17.
Family-Friendly Fun
One of the best parts about this concert series is that all performances are free and start at 7 p.m., making it a perfect evening outing for families. This timing helps everyone beat the midday heat as temperatures start to cool down. Kids, parents, and anyone in between can relax and enjoy together under the stars—what a lovely way to spend an evening!
