The 2023 Piedmont HealthCare Friday After 5 Summer Concert Series resumes in Downtown Statesville on Friday, August 4, with the Southern rock sounds of Dani Kerr & the Skeleton Krew.

Kerr was recently featured on “America’s Got Talent” and impressed the judges and audience with her talent. She will return for the live shows this fall.

Dani Kerr & the Skeleton Krew is an electric, high-energy group that creates a unique blend of soul-powered Southern rock-and-roll. The Skeleton Krew will take you on a nostalgic ride of raw music influenced from Southern rock, hard rock, soul, blues, funk and jazz. 

The Piedmont HealthCare Friday After 5 Summer Concert Series offers free entertainment to Statesville’s residents, neighbors, and visitors from May through September and features music of all styles. 

The concerts are held in Downtown Statesville on West Broad Street in front of Mitchell Community College from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks, water, and food will be available for purchase beginning at 5pm. Bring your chairs and enjoy a great night of music, but remember no pets, outside beverages, or coolers are allowed.

Start your evening by visiting the welcome tent sponsored by Randy Marion at the entrance to purchase your tokens before heading over to the beverage tent!
