In 1984, Ronald Reagan gave a shout out to Bruce Springsteen in regards to the hit album “Born in the USA.” He said, “America's future rests in a thousand dreams inside your hearts. It rests in the message of hope in the songs of a man so many young Americans admire—New Jersey's own, Bruce Springsteen." The President noticed early on that Springsteen is an icon, a rock star that resonates with ordinary Americans. While Springsteen is touring overseas, tribute bands have popped up over the country so that his music can still be appreciated live. Join this weekend at the Greenville Theatre for “the Worlds #1 Tribute” of Springsteen & The E. St Band Show. The Bruce in the USA tour first started in Las Vegas in 2004, and they have been touring and selling out crowds all across the country ever since. Tickets are $45, and the show starts at 8pm. Come jam out to classic songs like “Hungry Heart,” “Johnny B. Goode,” Born to Run,” “Dancing in the Dark” and many more.
If looking for a quiet evening of art appreciation, check out GVL Art Gallery’s First Friday Art Party in downtown Greenville. They will have 30 local artists selling and discussing their pieces in a downstairs gallery. Jam out to live music while enjoying refreshments. Additionally, Flying Fox Coffee will be open late, selling their specialty drinks for all to enjoy.
Monster trucks are 12,000 pounds of engineered perfection, and maybe that is why it is so shocking to see them smashed to pieces in an arena. This weekend, entertain the whole family during a Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Glow Party at Bon Secours Arena. This one-of-a-kind show will feature Mega Wrex™, Tiger Shark™, Demo Derby™, Bone Shaker™, Bigfoot®, Gunkster™, and HW 5-Alarm™. This spectacular show will include lasers, dance parties, and giveaways. Tickets start at $20, and VIP options are available. Monster trucks are fun for the whole family!
