Friday (6-8PM) Free Concert

Join us for the first night of the free summer Concert Series on Friday, August 11 from 6-8 p.m. at Pavilion #7 in Barfield Crescent Park. Creatively infusing a Mumford and Sons, bluegrass flavor and a rock 'n' roll vibe; the band Grizzly Goat has created a new music genre in their own right. "As a band we go all the way from 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' bluegrass to almost Black Keys blues rock," Nate Waggoner, founder and lead singer of the band said in a recent interview. Join in the fun at Barfield Crescent Park for an outdoor, summer concert series. It will be fun for the whole family. Please bring chairs/blankets for seating.
