Concerts by the Springs will kick off on May 12, Mother’s Day, with The Return. This band has brings back the fun, the energy, and the excitement of the pop culture sensation that came to be known as “Beatlemania.” With authentic stage gear, suits, boots, mop tops, and a set list packed full of #1 hits, their likeness to what you may have seen back in 1964 is incredible! With their witty Beatles-esque banter and voices that harmonize wonderfully, they always get the crowd up on their feet dancing and singing along. The Return has performed all over the world including the Cavern in Liverpool, as well as Abbey Road Studios in London. In Japan they h0eadlined the 40th-anniversary celebration of the Beatles visit to Tokyo. In Hermosillo, Mexico they debuted their “Sgt Peppers & Beyond” show in front of over 10,000 fans. In the US they were recently named the Atlanta Braves Band of the Year.

June 9, Saved by the Band will rock the Springs with hits from the ‘90s, ‘80s, and beyond. Their music includes songs from some of the most well-known bands to get up and dance to, including Weezer. Talking Heads. AC/DC. Whitney Houston. Maroon 5. Bonnie Tyler. Young MC. Prince. The Killers. Deee-Lite. Alanis Morissette. Tom Petty. B-52s. Jimmy Eat World. Pat Benatar. Spice Girls. Violent Femmes. Bon Jovi. Simple Minds. Third-Eye Blind. Beastie Boys. Lenny Kravitz. Rick Springfield. Metallica. Lisa Loeb. Journey and many, MANY more.

July 14, Departure replicates the look, sound and feel of the original 80’s rock super-group, Journey. The five band members are the original line up and have developed an amazing on-stage chemistry. These musicians pride themselves on giving their audience an incredible high-energy, qualitative stage show from start to finish. Featured lead vocalist, Brian Williams, has an amazing singing voice flawlessly matching Steve Perry’s vocal range and movements, exactly. This band was voted “Best Local Entertainer” for 2011 and 2012 by Gwinnett Magazine.

August 11, Atlanta Brass Cats will have everyone dancing on the green with their 10-piece rock band with horns recreating the inspiring sounds of Chicago, BS &T, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and more!

September 8, will close out the 2019 Concert Series with Band X, Atlanta's favorite party band, playing hits from the 70's, 80's, 90's and current favorites.
