The City of Roswell is bringing its popular series of free concerts to the bank of the Chattahoochee River. The annual Roswell Riverside Sounds will be kicking off its 2015 season on May 2nd. The annual Roswell Riverside Sounds outdoor concert series is hosted at Riverside Park, 575 Riverside Road in Roswell on the first Saturday of the month from May through October from 7-9 p.m.
In 2015, the July concert will be held on the second Saturday of the month due to the 4th of July.
Back this year, there will be at least two food trucks on location for each concert from 6-9 p.m. so you can enjoy a great dinner without all the work.
The following are the featured artists for each month:
- May 2: Havana Son
Created by Cuban native Rene Herrera, this world-renowned bandleader brings music to life through his use of piano, vocals, guitar and TRES (Traditional Cuban Stringed Instrument). Llilian Herrera adds her unique vocal style to create an intoxicating cocktail of Latin and American sounds.
- June 6: Royal Southern Brotherhood
An American blues and blues rock band made up of five members that all had impressive careers of their own before joining together to create the Royal Southern Brotherhood.
- July 11: River Whyless
Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, River Whyless puts a hauntingly sweet spin on traditional foundations. English trad-folk sounds are some of the band’s obvious touchstones, putting them in a category similar to contemporaries like Fleet Foxes and Stornoway. River Whyless has been featured on NPR’s World Cafe, Paste Magazine, The Bluegrass Situation, SiriusXM’s The Loft, and more.
- August 1: Adron
Named Best Songwriter of 2012 by the Atlanta-based arts and culture magazine Creative Loafing, Adron has managed to unite audiences from all backgrounds, age groups and subcultures with her universally communicative and infectious music. She playfully blends Brazilian samba, bossa nova and Tropicália with the sincerity and thoughtfulness of singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Harry Nilsson.
- September 5: Monty Montgomery
Born in Port Antonio, Jamaica, this talented and charismatic singer started to write and create music in his early years and has since reached the British Charts and toured across Europe. He holds numerous awards, is listed in the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles, and was recognized as one of the top reggae artists of all times by Billboard magazine.
- October 3: Get Right Band
The Get Right Band is described as “hip-shaking, earthquaking pure funk fun” by The Alternate Root magazine and was recognized as Relix Magazine’s “On The Verge” pick. Combining catchy, clever songwriting with musical expertise and fearless improvisation, this live show covers everything from funk to rock n’ roll to reggae.
