SALUDA — The Top of the Grade Summer Concert Series returns for the season on Friday, June 24, at McCreery Park in Saluda with alt-country and honkytonk band Fancy and the Gentlemen from Asheville.

Featuring rich harmonies, upright bass, fiddle, keys, pedal steel and drums, the band is fronted by Fancy Marie on lead vocals and guitar. The performance takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. on the Ella Grace Mintz stage. (In case of heavy rain, bands will move to the pavilion in McCreery Park.) Concert goers are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets. Coolers are welcome, and local restaurants are open.
The Top of The Grade Concerts are made possible through a grant from Polk County Community Foundation and are coordinated by the Saluda Downtown Foundation and the city of Saluda. All concerts are free to the public. The Top of the Grade concert series will present the Lazybirds on July 22 and Peggy Ratusz on Aug. 26.
