Special to IFN
The 2025 Piedmont HealthCare’s Friday After 5 concert series will wrap up on Friday with a performance by Party Parrot, a band that celebrates the life and music of the late great singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. Plan to grab your beach hat, flip flops, tie-dyed shirt, and your favorite beach chair and join the party.
Featuring palm trees, beach balls and stupendous never-ending conga lines, this Jimmy Buffett tribute band serves up the ultimate beach party. These world class musicians travel with a full tropical stage set-up, taking their audiences on a musical mind cruise through sun- soaked Caribbean waters. You can expect to hear classics such as “Margaritaville,” “Come Monday,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Volcano,” “Changes in Latitudes” and many others.
The concert will be held in Downtown Statesville on West Broad Street in front of Mitchell Community College from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks, water, and food will be available for purchase beginning at 5:30 pm. Pets and coolers are not allowed.
Start your evening by visiting the welcome tent at the entrance to purchase tokens for $6 each (cash or card) before heading over to the beer and wine tent! Red Buffalo Brewing Company will be on hand pouring their Clocktower IPA (6.6% ABV), Blue’sBerry Ale (5.2% ABV) and Mouthy Blonde Ale (4.5% ABV).
Two food trucks, Bricker Family Favorites (BFF) and The Truk, will be on site, along with Andrea’s Ice Cream & Sweet Shop.
