From staff reports
Street Music on Paris Avenue is back Saturday, Aug. 12 for the Fall 2023 season, its 31st season in Port Royal.
On August 12, the Bennett Matteo Band will take the stage. Led by guitarist and writer Gino Matteo and vocal powerhouse Jade Bennett, the band brings dirt funk and desert soul to the Lowcountry all the way from Los Angeles.
On August 26, Blackcat Zydeco featuring Dwight Carrier comes to town. One of the most exciting Zydeco accordionists of this era, Carrier’s unique musical style fuses Zydeco, blues, country, and R&B influences.
On Septmber 9, Angela Easterling makes her way to Port Royal from the Upstate. Easterling brandishes her songwriting chops with rootsy, refreshing, homespun tunes. Her act is not quite country, not quite folk, but altogether unique and engaging.
On September 23, J.P. Soars & The Red Hots make their presence known. Playing the blues not only requires diligence and dedication, but also an inherent sense of purpose and passion. Guitarist and vocalist J.P. Soars no doubt has the sense of both.
All shows are free and begin at 6 p.m., so bring your dancing shoes, your chairs and settle in between 9th and 10th streets in Port Royal.
