Come on out for our last Friday in the Pines concert of the season!

We are excited to have CAB Street Band performing here again- and you're going to want to put on your dancing shoes because their music is rockin'!

"CAB Street Band brings a unique blend of music to every performance, covering everything from timeless classics to today's favorites. From Etta James to Amy Winehouse, Santana to The Beatles, the set list has something for everyone. What makes CAB Street Band special is the way we make every song our own-with our signature funky, jazzy, bluesy, swingin style."
