The Rockin’ with Rotary Summer Concert Series will be held again on Thursday, May 11, 2017 in uptown Gastonia at the Gastonia East Rotary Club at the Rotary Pavilion. DJ Johnny B will get the evening started beginning at 6:00 PM with a variety of tunes to dance too. Jim Quick & Coastline will be center stage at the uptown venue beginning at 7 PM. Jim Quick and Coastline have an eclectic blend of soul, blues, and rock. From hard driving Carolina back beats, to Georgia southern rock, from Cajun inspired grooves, to Texas and Delta blues; Coastline truly defines the sound of historical Southern music. Jim Quick has been touring the Southeast US for more than 15 years, playing nearly 300 shows per year, and has released more than 11 albums including his newest, DOWN SOUTH. Originally introducing their music as the Coastline Band—a band of friends who played the Carolina beach bars day in and day out—the group pushed Quick to the forefront and naturally transformed into Jim Quick & Coastline. Known for his all-out performances and deliberate, off-the-cuff wisecracks, Jim has been a gracious recipient of the Carolina Music Awards “Entertainer of the Year Award” – 15 times with the most recent award being in 2016. Those attending the concerts are encouraged to bring their own chairs, but no coolers because the concerts also serve as a fundraiser. Beer and wine will be available through Gastonia East Rotary Club, which uses the proceeds to help support charitable projects and initiatives. Come sit and listen or dance the night away. In addition to great music there will be a Classic Car Cruise In with beautiful restored cars. There will be food vendors on hand too. Gastonia East Rotary thanks the City of Gastonia, Chick-fil-A, PSNC Energy, Tindol Ford, Subaru, Roush, CaroMont Health, International Minute Press, Gastonia Sheet Metal, Watson Insurance, and Sun Drop for making the Rockin’ with Rotary Summer Concert Series possible. Concerts are held alternating Thursday from April until August.
