Six Sunday's in Spring

Six Sundays concert series expands times, offerings
 
Award-winning jazz musician Marcus Anderson will take the stage at the April 29th season opener of this year’s Six Sundays in Spring concert series in Wake Forest. The most talked about performer in Six Sunday’s history, Anderson wowed last year’s crowd with his talent on the saxophone as well as his energetic performance.
 
Wake Forest ARTS, the nonprofit which organizes the free events, has also made several other exciting changes to this year’s series. Six Sundays in Spring will take place each Sunday from April 29 through June 3 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road, Wake Forest. The expanded time will allow for a local band of a similar genre to be featured as the opener before the headlining group.
 
This year’s performance series line up is:
April 29 — Jazz musician Marcus Anderson performs after the gospel group Millennium Revival Center Praise team.
May 6 — Wake Forest rock group Will McBride Group shows off its pop, jazz and rock talents.
May 13 — Reggae band Healing Force performs after the drum circle Phatbread.
