Sounds of Summer Concert Series with Band of Oz

Description

At Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series, sunsets are sweet, the music is live, and the vibes are unbeatable. In 1967, Band of Oz was formed, and in 1976, the band went on the road full time. They perform everything from beach music, Jimmy Buffett, and Motown. Since its creation, the band has made a name for itself throughout the Southeast. They usually headline or play all the major Beach Music festivals in the south. The band’s first recording was 'Shaggin' which is still a Beach Music favorite. In 1982, the band was named 'Best Group' at the Beach Music Awards, and their song “Ocean Blvd.” was voted 'Best Beach' record of the year. At the 1995 CAMMY's, 'Let It Roll' became album of the year. Grab your lawn chairs, kick off your shoes, and dance by the York River during Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series! Each Thursday evening brings a different beat—country, beach, jazz, R&B, and more—along with delicious food trucks and cool coastal breezes. Come early to grab dinner or dessert from one of our waterfront favorites like Water Street Grille, Carrot Tree, or Ben & Jerry’s. Then, settle in for a night of great music, good friends, and summer memories made under the stars. Guests are permitted to bring their own blankets, chairs, and small coolers. No tables, umbrellas, or tents are allowed. There will be a dance floor, friendly games of corn hole, and tasty, to-go meals from rotating food trucks available for purchase.  Free parking is available at designated public parking lots throughout town, including York Hall, York-Poquoson Courthouse, and County Administration Building. The complimentary, ADA accessible Yorktown Trolley runs from 5 to 9:30 p.m. during every concert with a modified route that still includes some of the stops on the outskirts of town.
