Concert Series at The Icehouse Amphitheater

The town of Lexington, South Carolina offered free concerts on Thursday nights in September!

The first band we checked out was The Root Doctors of Columbia, SC.

These guys are a blast! High energy and were definitely enjoying themselves on stage.
Their set included hits from Beyonce, Neil Diamond, Patti Labelle and so much more from back in the day to current day. Below shows the brass guys (when brass was not required) twerking to a Beyonce tune which was quite amusing!

Sol Fusion of Charlotte, NC performed many singalong song which never grow old!

These girls were really fun with great voices! I love the dynamic of 3 female to 1 male singers.

Lastly we saw the Vinyl Junkies of Greenville, NC. Music wise, these guys were totally up my alley.

They were more rock n roll performing hits from great bands like Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Chicago, Hall n Oates and so on!

Overall we really enjoyed the concert series. This is such a great thing for the community as they were family friendly events. These are all bands available for events such as weddings.

I imagine this series is great for the Main Street restaurants, all being small businesses. We made pre-concert stops for a snack and beverage. This tasty bit was enjoyed at O'Hara's Public House. Pretzels and beer cheese...yum!

This one below is from Keg Cowboy served with honey dijon and stone ground mustard. 

Ok, I know it looks like a pastry rather than a pretzel but it probably looked like a pretzel prior to baking!

Which is better? These do have completely different vibes but I would choose the Keg Cowboy because they make all their breads in house and it shows! This pub also has a great selection of local craft beers which we appreciate too. Just another way to support local!

If one goes straight to the venue, they will find plenty for their palate under the pavilion. This varied week to week. We saw ice cream, pizza, BBQ, tacos, micro brews, Italian ice and more.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val

    My favorite blues group is also called Root Doctor -- they're from Michigan. This looks like a great place to enjoy!

      I noticed there was another band name Root Doctor when pulling up their website. The amphitheater here is wonderful.
