Mother's Finest's music is a blend of funky rhythms, heavy rock guitars and expressive soul/R&B-style vocals. Their lively music and engaging performance is sure to entertain attendees of all ages.

Nashville, Tenn.-based Savannah Jack will come to Johns Creek for the concert season on Saturday, Aug 27.

Closing out the season on Sept. 24 will be The Shadowboxers, an Atlanta-based American pop band. This group's musical approach comes out of a shared reverence for the sacred texts of rock and soul, from the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel to Stevie Wonder and D’Angelo.

The Amphitheater is located at Newtown Park, which is at 3150 Old Alabama Road.

For those looking for a little more room, round tables for up to 10 people can be reserved under the amphitheater by calling 678-512-3200.
