The City of Powder Springs will kick off its fourth-annual “Sounds of the Springs” Concert Series on July 27 in Thurman Springs Park. All three concerts — scheduled for the fourth Saturdays in July, August and September — are free and open to the public.
Opening the series on July 27 is Bumpin’ The Mango, an Atlanta funk & soul band boasting “a fiery five piece horn section, a rock solid rhythm section, and an incredible lead vocalist.” Influenced by bands such as Tower Of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, and The Ohio Players, Bumpin’ The Mango’s original music is a melting pot of funk, soul and R&B, and is sure to lift audience members out of their seats and onto the dance floor.
August in Powder Springs is hot, but Kasper and the 911 Band will be even hotter when they take the stage Aug. 24. This dance and party band will keep the crowd fired up throughout the evening.
Closing out the series on Sept. 28 will be Guardians of the Jukebox, a “sonic time machine that transports their fans back into that iconic era” of the 1980s, with fan-favorite hits of the decade keeping audience members on their feet.
All concerts will start at 7 p.m.
Blankets and lawn chairs may be set up in the park, though no chairs are allowed on the artificial turf in the children’s section. No personal tables allowed. Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic to the concert (this does not include alcoholic beverages).
A selection of food vendors will be on site, while Special Blends Mobile Bartending will be selling non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, with the latter allowed on the grounds of Thurman Springs Park when purchased within the city’s Entertainment District, the boundaries of which are marked
