Rock'n on the River's final concert of the season will take place at Campbellton Landing at Deep Creek Outfitters, Sept. 20, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.
Two bands will perform to bring back some classic songs to the crowd. '80s Unleashed takes the stage at 6 p.m., and Beggar's Banquet performs at 8 p.m.
'80s Unleashed is a full '80s cover band, bringing back all of the favorites.
"If you are like us, we love the '80s! It was such a cool time to grow up. Who remembers the Rubix Cube or Swatch Watches or Members Only Jackets? We do. How about Skinny Ties, Vans Checkerboard Shoes, Guys with Mullets or Girls with Camaro Hair? We do! Most of all, the music! It was such a simpler time. In the 80's POP Radio played all genres, Rock, Rap, Pop etc. 80's Unplugged was the original idea I [Bryan Shaw] had years ago. I happened to see a Dueling Piano Show and was intrigued by all the requests they were able to play. I thought why not combine 80's music AND requests??? BOOM! Fast forward a decade later and thousands of shows/requests later, we decided to plug back in and 80's UNLEASHED was born!" boasts the '80s Unleashed website, https://bit.ly/3z2otPU
The band has played all over the area and was awarded with the Best Cover Band in Fayetteville in 2013 by a community poll. Get ready for a fabulous '80s experience.
The second band of the evening, Beggar's Banquet, will begin playing around 8 p.m. Beggar's Banquet is a Rolling Stones tribute band, and is the premier Rolling Stones Tribute Band of the Carolinas. Nine performers play on stage including keyboards, horn, backup singers, percussion and cello.
"Beggars Banquet is true to the spirit of the songs and brings all the musical bells and whistles for a live Rock and Roll show that is a unique 'Stones,'" according
to their website.
Doug Davis leads the band with his vocal talent, and is surrounded by eight other talented musicians on stage. For more information about Beggar's Banquet, visit https://beggarsbanquetband.com/
