WINSTON-SALEM — “Charlie,” the Motown and beach music band, will perform at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26, at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons. The concert is free and part of the Summer Parks Series presented by the County of Forsyth in collaboration with The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.
This versatile, six-piece band features male and female vocalists, keyboardist, guitar, bass and drums. Charlie performs in the Motown tradition of tuxedos and coordinated dance steps mixed with southern beach music to please a crowd in the park on a late summer day. The “Charlie” concert is sponsored by Salem Smiles Orthodontics.
This is the third year of the free Summer Park Series concerts which are held in Forsyth County’s two public parks, Triad Park and Tanglewood Park. The concerts are a collaboration between the County of Forsyth and The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. “This is the last of the 2018 Summer Parks concert performances, and we encourage residents of the county to come out along with friends and neighbors and enjoy free, top-notch entertainment in the family-friendly environment of Tanglewood Park,” said David Plyler, Chair, Forsyth County Commissioners. This versatile, Durham-based band has an extensive song list of favorites and is known for its engaging, crowd-pleasing style.
