High Hopes at Rivers and Spires Festival Opening, However Bad Weather Looms for Today
On the Public Square Stage, the Roxy Regional Theatre opened with a preview of the Civil War Musical, which promises to be an outstanding show to see at the Franklin Street Theatre. They were followed by the urban musical duo of The Bucket Boys, who use a collection of everyday items such as trashcans, pots, pans and street signs to crash and bang out thunderous grooves, extraordinary cadences and hip-hop, funky dance beats. The amazing Mr. Speed, a KISS cover band closed out the evening with rousing concert at the Public Square stage. The group has one goal to give the fans a realistic KISS experience. In this they totally succeeded. The Clarksville Young Professionals along with the Chamber of Commerce held the Business After Hours event at the Rivers and Spires Festival. The event combines fun, food & networking for area professionals. Hooters girls were on hand serving delicious hot dogs and wings to the members. Mr. Speed, the KISS cover band, also stopped by for a meet-n-greet before they went on stage at 8:00pm. If you are interested in joining the Clarksville Young Professionals a membership is just $50.00. Patchwork Premiere opened with the Quilts of the Cumberland , which according to one attendee was truly a feast for the eyes. On the Patchwork Preimere Stage music was provided by Still Water, the Queen City Quartet, and the evening closed out with the smooth stylings of the always popular Groovefellas. This stage featured a dance floor to allow couples dance along with the musical entertainment.
