Thursdays: Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive
Downtown Alive kicks off this Thursday (March 19) and will continue through August 27. Downtown Alive helps support the Metropolitan Arts Council and features a different band each week, with styles including rock, blues, country, funk, folk and more.
This Thursday will feature the award-winning Dead 27s, a Southern rock/soul group described as “one of Charleston’s best live bands.” Check out the rest of the season lineup on the official Downtown Alive webpage.
Downtown Alive takes place at NOMA Square, outside the Hyatt on North Main Street. The music starts at 5:30, and admission is free.
Fridays: Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays
Main Street Fridays begins this week on March 20 and runs through September 25. It’s also located at NOMA Square, and features a slightly different flavor of music, including jazz, blues, oldies, soul, and classic rock.
