Groovin' on the Green- Dylan Armour
2026-05-29 18:00 - 20:30 | NC
Join us for Groovin’ on The Green featuring Dylan Armour! Fresh from the tall pines of north Georgia, twenty-four-year-old singer-songwriter Dylan Armour is the resurrection of Southern Rock. Dylan started his musical journey in a family of musicians. His dad, an accomplished luthier, built him his first guitar when he was 7. At the ripe old age of 16 he was touring internationally with various bluegrass bands and within two years proudly found himself a SPBGMA nominee. The fast and smooth technique he developed to pull off the endless smoking bluegrass breakdowns would prove to be his ace in the hole as he ventured into rock and the electric guitar. Dylan’s electric stage presence and meticulously crafted blend of blues and rock proves that Southern Rock has not lost its iconic relevance.

Groovin' on the Green-The Wobblers
2026-06-26 18:00 - 20:30 | NC
We’re so excited to welcome The Wobblers back to the Commons Stage!

For over 13 years The Wobblers have been a cornerstone of the Upstate South Carolina music scene, earning a dedicated cult following as one of the region’s most distinct and original-sounding acts. This powerhouse ensemble features a four-piece horn section, piano, organ, guitar, bass, and drums, delivering a high-energy performance that is as professional as it is soulful.
Their expansive repertoire is a dynamic mix of original compositions and eclectic, soul-infused covers. Rooted in the spirit of New Orleans, their sound blends brassy textures and “second line” rhythms—anchored by drummer Patrick Riley—with edgy jazz elements reminiscent of visionaries like Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sun Ra, and Thelonious Monk. At any given moment, their music might pivot to evoke the legendary songwriting of The Kinks, The Band, Elvis Costello, or the indie-soul sensibilities of Dr. Dog and NRBQ.
