The Harmony Grove Band (THGB) will take the stage from 5:30-8:45 p.m. to energize the crowd, getting them on their feet and dancing to the beat. According to their official website, THGB is a group of modern-day troubadours who have made it their mission to bring back the soulful sounds of Southern rock โnโ roll.
โTheir music is a fusion of classic Southern rock with a contemporary twist, making it both familiar and fresh at the same time,โ the website states. โBut what really sets them apart is their love for gospel soul music, infusing their sound with a feel-good energy that is impossible to resist.โ
