Live music and a great cause, Parkway Playhouse is kicking off its 77th season with an exciting fundraising concert, “A Salute to Our Summer Season!” on May 25th at 7pm!
This concert will feature two regional crowd-pleasers, The Gypsy River Band and The Dwayne Milton band. Come and enjoy your classic rock, country, and bluegrass favorites and help them celebrate the opening of the theater’s 2024 MainStage season. All proceeds from this event go towards Parkway Playhouse, the oldest continually operating Summer theater in North Carolina.
Formed in 2021, the Gypsy River Band’s dynamic and familiar sound will satisfy any listener with its blend of southern rock, blues, and country music. This five-piece band is composed of Robert Bryant (lead guitar, vocals), Billy Sprouse (piano, guitar, vocals), Nick Rash (lead vocals, guitar), Faron Silvers (Bass, vocals), and Derick Graybeal (Drums). They have played regionally since their inception and have become a favorite among locals and visitors of the mountains. They are proud to play a part in helping support this historic institution that is so precious and unique to the county.
The Dwayne Melton Band is a mixture of great classic rock songs, ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s, playing the biggest hits from that era. Dwayne Melton (the bandleader) is a veteran on the club circuit and plays with such bands as the Krystal Image and also plays backup for “The Johnny Cash Tribute Show.” The other members of the band are John Tippton (drums and vocal); Tim Hensley (guitar and vocal); and Barbar Hoffman (lead vocalist) and they’re sure to bring you back to the era of great classic songs.
Doors will open at 7pm. Tickets are $20. Seats are limited! Don’t wait to reserve yours. Find out more online at www.parkwayplayhouse.com.
