Heart Breaker, a Heart and Led
Zeppelin tribute band, will play at
Gates Four Golf and Country Club
Pavilion on May 6. is event will be
the second in the Summer Concert
Series held at Gates Four.
e band is led by Suzi Nelson
and Joan Burton and plays venues
up and down the East Coast. Last
summer, they were part of a concert
series held at Rock'n On the River on
Person Street.
"ese two girls look and sound
like Heart; they are unbelievable.
is crowd is going to be set back
by this great band," said Greg Adair,
one of the organizers for the Summer
Concert Series.
e Summer Concert Series has
grown in popularity as the music
scene around Fayetteville has devel-
oped. is year, organizers added a
sixth concert to the schedule.
"e whole concept of the concert
series is to create a quality enter-
tainment venue on that side of the
county, the Hope Mills area," said Bill
Bowman, publisher, Up & Coming
Weekly. Bowman is also a sponsor of
the event.
Jackie Warner, the mayor of Hope
Mills, attended last month's concert
and told Adair how much she en-
joyed the event.
"ese bands coming up will
knock your socks off," said Adair.
"You'll think, 'oh wow, I'm sitting
here listening to Heart, or Lynard
Skynard,' or 'I'm sitting here listening
to AC/DC'."
"ere are so many really good
bands going out there this year; it's
just phenomenal," he said.
"To be able to have a quality
concert in a classy environment like
Gates Four is wonderful," he added.
"e bands appreciate the atmo-
sphere as well."
Heart Breaker won't be the only
musical act to take the stage. As a
unique concept, the concert will
open with a local, up-and-coming
singer/songwriter chosen every
month before the show.
"e acts are chosen from a
singer/songwriter event held every
month at the Fayetteville Bakery
and Cafe," said Bowman. "It's to give
these young singer/songwriters an
opportunity to perform in front of a
good audience in association with a
great band."
e concert will conclude
with an after-party at the Sand
Trap, a bar on Perdue Street in
Fayetteville. e opening act from
the concert will perform at the after-
party as well.
"e whole evening is centered
around fun, good music, contribut-
ing to the community and giving
young artists a chance to be seen,"
said Bowman.
e concert will be free to attend
for lawn seating. VIP tickets can be
purchased for table seating within
the pavilion itself. A single-seat VIP
ticket is $38. An all-inclusive VIP
ticket is $68 and includes food and
beverages.
Part of the event proceeds go to the
Kidsville News Literacy and Educa-
tion Foundation, which provides
education and reading resources to
elementary-aged school children in
Cumberland County.
"One of the reasons we are able
to keep the concert series free is
because of our sponsors who are
helping fund all these quality bands,"
said Bowman.
"Our Title Sponsors are J. Dowdy
from All American Homes and Kim
Evers from OVM Financial.
Without their help, it wouldn't be
possible."
