Saturday, June 6. Rhythm on the River! The CMC Steel Rhythm on the River Concert Series resumes this Saturday, June 6th with the return of Corey Crowder. Opening the show is Etheridge & Kimpland. Georgia native and current Greenville resident, Corey Crowder might have begun his solo acoustic career by opening for his friends' hardcore bands, but his music's closer to James Taylor or John Mayer. That he survived those early gigs is a testament to the quality of his lyrical insights and the hypnotic effect of his vocals on his records, like 2006's Starting All Over. MTV recognized Crowder's appeal, using several songs on The Real World. This is week #7 of the 10 week music series at the West Columbia Riverwalk Amphitheater. Concert is from 6:00-9:00pm and admission is FREE thanks to our presenting sponsors: Agape Senior, Allstate Insurance, C-Anne Able Agency, AT&T, Food Lion, Genesis Studios, Hardee's, Lexington Medical Center, & South Carolina Bank and Trust.
