Memorial Park Community Center’s outdoor amphitheater will come alive in July with a free, four- concert series featuring a mix of seasoned performers that will catch your ear and give life to your dancing shoes.

The popular Beach Nite Band will kick off the series from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, with their entertaining and humor-filled show. Carolina beach music featuring soul, R&B, disco, blues, boogie, and memorable oldies will fill the air when this tight-knit bunch takes the stage.

Based out of the western Virginia and southern West Virginia region, the band has been providing live entertainment for decades, as the bandmates were previously members of the doo-wop group, The Collegians. 

Each concert will be held 7-9 p.m. on Tuesdays at MPCC, 510 Bert St. Parking is available at the center. The stage will face the tiered amphitheater below the famous Doughboy statue and veteran’s memorial plaza. Seating is open on the surrounding grassy areas, so bring your blanket and lawn chairs. Concessions will be on site.

The series schedule is as follows:

July 9: Beach Nite Band
July 16: Tennessee Champagne
July 23: Southern Rebellion
July 30: Billy Crawford

 The Bert Street Music Series is presented by the Johnson City Press, 101.5 WQUT Tri-Cities’ Classic Rock, Tennessee Department of Transportation, and Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
