FENCE kicks off its annual series of family concerts on Sunday, Jan. 16 at 4 p.m. with the quintet Dashboard Blue and a repertoire designed to recall the days of cruising down the highway with radio playing and windows rolled down.

The groups playlist ranges from blues to rock and has proven popular all over western North Carolina for dance parties, civic events and neighborhood block parties.

We lay songs for all generations and weve been well-received in both large and small venues, said guitarist Will Springer, wholl be joined in FENCEs great room by fellow guitarist Frank Saine, Rex Cutshall on keyboards, Tom Mitchell on bass and drummer George Cutshall.

FENCE Family Concerts are offered free of charge with the support of the Kirby Endowment Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.
