Virginia’s Beach Nite Band was set to open this season’s Lakeside Concert Series but Mother Nature had other ideas. The popular band is set to bring back their talents to Winged Deer Park’s Goulding Amphitheater on Thursday, June 30, from 7-9 p.m.

The popular Beach Nite Band returns to Winged Deer Park’s lakefront performing Carolina beach music featuring soul, R&B, disco, blues, boogie, and memorable oldies music. The band, which has been providing live entertainment for several decades, is based out of the western Virginia/southern West Virginia regions, and members previously performed with the doo-wop group The Collegians for more than 20 years.

The free lakeside concerts offer a mix of the area’s top talent at a venue known for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or folding chairs to relax on the grassy hillsides, or move and groove whenever the mood strikes. The location provides easy access, free parking, concessions, and a playground.

The concerts will be held 7-9 p.m. each Thursday through July 28 at Winged Deer Park’s Goulding Amphitheatre, 199 Carroll Creek Road, Johnson City. There is one exception this year. The Johnson City Symphony Orchestra will perform at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11, at the Winged Deer Park Festival Plaza.

• Thursday, June 30 — Beach Nite Band
