The Hayesville town square will be the scene of another concert on Friday May 27. The Junction Band, headed by Clay County native Susan Gray Riley, will play "oldies" from the 50s and 60s. The concert will run from 7 to 9 pm. Bring your chairs, and enjoy a fun-filled evening. The Hayesville junior varsity cheerleaders will provide food and drinks to raise money. The concert itself is free; however, donations are welcome.
If the weather is bad, the concert will move indoors to the Gathering Place room of the Hayesville First United Methodist Church right off the square. Take your chairs with you to the church.
Susan Gray Riley is the Junction Band’s lead vocalist. She has been a member of the Georgia Mountain Fair staff band since 1977. A member of the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, she has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Atlanta Society of Entertainers.
Bill Puckett, also a member of the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, is the band’s guitar/vocalist. He played bass with the blue grass duo, Jim and Jessie, and is a retired member of the Atlanta Seventeen Orchestra.
Max Harper, the band’s saxophonist, has played that instrument for more than 40 years with artists from Nashville and elsewhere. He is also a member of the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame.
Ken White, drummer and vocalist, is a retired school band director. He has played bass and drums with various bands and orchestras.
