Woodstock Roots Bluegrass Series Returns May 18

WOODSTOCK, GA -- The city of Woodstock will host the second installment of its bluegrass music series, which will take place Thursday evening on the Elm Street Cultural Arts Village Event Green.

Woodstock Roots Bluegrass Series concerts will be held at 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month from May to July on the lawn, which is located next to the Noonday Creek trail along Market Street in downtown.

The shows are free, and attendees should bring their own blankets, chairs, food and beverage.

The 2017 concert lineup is as follows:

• Thursday, May 18 – Jason Kenney and Leah Calvert
• Thursday, June 15 – Adkins, Ellis and Lawson
• Thursday, July 20 – Smokey’s Farmland Band

The concert series was launched in 2016 in light of the city being unable to host its popular Summer Concert Series due to the construction of the Northside Hospital Cherokee Amphitheater.

“We wanted to continue in the great tradition of live music in Woodstock this summer through a new series of events geared towards a very popular genre of music,” said Mitzi Saxon, downtown program manager for the city. “I think a bluegrass series is the perfect way to celebrate our roots through live original music shows.”

Concerts are expected to wrap up around 9 p.m. For more information, visit the Woodstock Roots website.
