The Cleverlys, a self-proclaimed “GrassHipPop Fusion” band, will headline the inaugural concert in the new SSCC Americana Music Series. This kick-off event will be held Saturday, Oct. 8, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the show will begin at 7 p.m.
“The Cleverlys are one of the most entertaining groups in the business,” said Gary Strong, President of WOBO Radio, which is partnering with Southern State to organize the triannual concert series. “Their solid acoustic music abilities, tight harmonies, and side-splitting comedy shtick combine to make an absolutely phenomenal show. They can jump from die-hard bluegrass to today’s rock to Motown and never skip a beat.”
