The 20th Anniversary Season of Tryon’s most popular summer event – Summer Tracks – continues on Friday, June 28, with Gigi Dover & The Big Love. Incorporating the sounds and vibes of world instruments, Gigi Dover & The Big Love deliver a fresh blend of gypsy, jazzy, bluesy, funky Southern Soul and World Music. An uplifting musical experience somewhere between Marvin Gaye and Fiddler on the Roof, their music has been described as “World Music thru the eyes and ears of Southerners.” Gigi Dover & Eric Lovell’s seventh studio recording titled “Travelin’ Thru,” is a collection of songs and a few short whimsical instrumentals, more wood than steel, designed to inspire the listener to “dance, meditate, or anything in between.” Gigi and Eric celebrate the seventeen-year mark on their collaborative musical journey. Countless tours and gigs both regionally and internationally, thru the US, the UK and Europe have garnered them recognition and success from fans, peers and critics alike. Tonight’s band features John Spurrier on drums and Chris Revels on bass.
All shows begin at 7 pm. In case of rain the concerts will move across the street inside the spacious Tryon Fire Dept.
This year’s expanded seven-concert series is presented by New View Reality of Tryon. The series’ co-producers are the Town of Tryon and Peter Eisenbrown. The Purple Onion and Heartwood Gallery of Saluda, NC are sponsoring this second concert.
Summer Tracks concerts are free, though a voluntary donation at the gate is encouraged. Audience donations along with the support of many local businesses and individuals make these shows possible. Katie D’s N.Y. Bagels & Deli will be offering for sale a variety of slider sandwiches, hot dogs, wraps, chips and desserts. Water and soft drinks will be for sale plus alcohol consumption is allowed in the park but is not for sale.
