Downtown Clayton Concert: The Black Water Band

There’s something about the first outdoor concert of the season that just feels like a reset—and in Downtown Clayton, it starts with a little extra flair. Think warm evening air, music drifting through the streets, and a sea of floral shirts setting the tone for a laid-back night out. The Black Water Band kicks off the season with energy that’s perfect for gathering with friends, unfolding a pop-up chair, and settling in as the sun dips low. It’s the kind of evening where conversations flow easily, laughter carries, and the soundtrack takes care of the rest. With local sponsors helping bring the night to life and a community that shows up ready to enjoy it, this concert isn’t just an event—it’s a tradition in the making.

Sundown in Downtown Concert Series

As the sun begins to set in Benson, the Singing Grove transforms into a gathering place where music and summer nights come together effortlessly. The Sundown in Downtown Concert Series brings a rhythm to the season, and when The Embers featuring Craig Woolard take the stage, it’s all about beach music, dancing, and that unmistakable Carolina feel. Evenings here unfold at an easy pace—food vendors open early, giving people time to wander, grab a bite, and settle in before the music starts. As the DJ warms up the crowd and the sky shifts into those golden evening tones, the anticipation builds for a night filled with familiar songs and a crowd that’s ready to dance. It’s one of those experiences that feels both nostalgic and timeless, where every date on the series offers something a little different, but always delivers the same easygoing charm.
