#MusicMonday 6/18-6/24: The Foothills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music

concerts, Darby Wilcox, Furman University, Lydia Loveless, Music, Poinsett Wind Symphony, Upstate SC

It is another musically diverse week in the Upstate, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Get your dose of musical powerhouses this week as Darby Wilcox shares the stage with Lydia Loveless (we’ve even heard that Darby was gushing over this honor). We also take a look at one of the lesser known Thursday night concert series in the area, Furman’s Lakeside Concert Series. Of course, there is also this week’s calendar, which really raises the question, “Is the Firmament GVL becoming the Upstate’s venue for dance music?” It definitely appears that way.

We love bluesy, southern-infused rock, and when you throw some girl power in there we love it even more. That is why we are thrilled to talk about Michelle Malone and the release of her 15th album, yes, 15th. She is celebrating this monumental release by performing at the Spinning Jenny this Friday. You can also find out about a great end of the school jam and all of the other concerts you can’t miss in this week’s Music Monday.
