The Castaways Here Thursday, Sept. 15

The extremely popular Clayton Town Square Concert Series is down to its final concert of the year, The Castaways, Thursday, Sept. 15.

This is the first appearance in Clayton for the premier party band in the Carolinas and Virginia.

From their beginning in Durham in1961, The Castaways have been pleasing audiences with their unique flavor of Beach, Soul, and Rock N' Roll. But don't let the fact that the band has been around for fifty years fool you. High energy, current songs, and fun on stage will bring the party!

The Castaways original music can be heard on Beach Music radio shows throughout the southeast. Their CD’s "Generation Six" and "Give It Up" have received great reviews.

This is the fifth year of the hit concert series, which is attracting more than 1,300 per show to the downtown area this year--many more than in previous years. Residents are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for this free public concert, which begins at 7 pm.   

Several local vendors will provide light refreshments and food. The Downtown Development Association, the event's organizer, will once again serve beer and wine.  

Sponsors of the 2011 Concert Series are the Town of Clayton, Grifols, Clayton Steakhouse, Hometowne Realty, The Flipside Restaurant, Clayton News-Star and Joe Mama’s Mobile Stages and KB Homes.

Several downtown restaurants offer pre-concert dinner specials, including The Flipside at 408 E Second Street, Clayton Steakhouse, 307 E Main Street, Mulberry on Main Italian Restaurant, 217 E Main Street as well as Festejos Mexican Grill, 905 E Main Street, Primo Pizza, 226 E Main and Lucky Chicken Peruvian Restaurant, 312 E Main Street.
