After a successful "Seaside Spring Concert Series" featuring some of the regions top artists, Seaside is ramping up our offering with the "Seaside Summer Concert Series" every Wednesday night beginning June 3rd through August 12th from 7:00-9:00PM.
This summer's lineup includes many local favorites, as well as a great selection of very talented bands from across the southeast (some of whom are performing at major festivals throughout the summer). Check out the schedule below and mark your calendars for Wednesday nights this summer at Seaside!
Seaside Summer Concert Series
June 3: Dread Clampitt - Blue-eyed SoulGrass, Hipbilly, Newgrass...these words have been used to describe Dread Clampitt. With clever and heartfelt lyrics, Dread Clampitt combines a sense of humor and a unique view of the world with the sound of Bluegrass, Jazz, Blues and Rock.
June 10: The Beggars' Guild - The Beggars' Guild blends elements of rock, blues, country, folk and pop into tunes that are honest, catchy and distinctly likeable, drawing comparisons to artists like Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Counting Crows, and Bruce Springsteen.
June 17: Hightide Blues - Their sound is a throw back to southern rock with a modern twist and an original delivery that's in a category of it's own. Their delivery of acoustic and electric guitars with a hard-hitting rhythm section has lead to sold out shows all over the Southeast and won't be stopping there.
June 24: The WaCo Ramblers - The WaCo Ramblers, from Walton County, Florida, not Waco, Texas, are a group of rock musicians from different bands who joined up a few years ago with "The Red Rocket,? Jeremiah Campbell, to play late 40?s style Bluegrass music.
July 1: Delta Highway - In a generation that has forgotten its musical roots, Delta Highway breathes youth and energy back into the blues. With strong guitar sounds, combined with a progressive harmonica sound, this Memphis band has developed a style that is all their own and sure to please new and veteran blues fans alike.
July 8: Steven Clawson - Trying to define country music just got a little bit harder. Combining the traditional country elements with his own southern soulfulness Steven Clawson is expanding the boundaries of country music.
July 15: Ryan Kinder - Featured in the Birmingham News as one of the Alabama's "new and upcoming stars," Ryan Kinder's sound is one that combines southern soul and folk. His original songs are written straight from the heart and include skillful acoustics with rich lyrics that sound like a musical snapshot brought to life in song.
July 22: Big Sam's Funky Nation - Presiding over his Funky Nation is Big Sam, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who blows the funk out of his trombone and refuses to let the audience sit still. A talented group of jazz-trained musicians makes up the Funky Nation, bringing with them the improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that's the hallmark of big band funk.
July 29: Sam Thacker - Atlanta native Sam Thacker combines folk and country guitar riffs with an unexpected rock edge that makes him a truly unique artist. While Thacker?s sincere songwriting remains rooted in singer/songwriter tradition, he delivers his tunes with sweeping anthemic choruses that point to the influence of larger-than-life rock bands
August 5: Good Enough For Good Times - Instrumental soul jazz/funk in the vein of Jimmy Smith, The Meters and James Brown with a keen eye on the future. GEFGT features Galactic's own Rob Mercurio on the bass...this is one show you won't want to miss!
August 12: GREEN HIT - GREEN HIT's music appeals to a wide spectrum of people, because they are a wide spectrum of people. The band's influences range from Afrobeat to Electronica to Post-Rock and all the way back again. GREEN HIT won't sing you songs, instead they let the mood and feel of the music communicate all that is neccessary.
