The Top of the Grade Concerts In McCreery Park in Saluda N.C. continue their third summer season on June 12 with Sound Investment. Sound Investment is an energetic cover band focused on reproducing classic rock ‘n roll music especially from the 1960s and 70s with a nod to the 50s, 80s and 90s.

Fun-loving and interactive, they encourage song requests and have over 200 songs on their playlist. Their music appeals to the young and old providing just the right beat for dancing. From Sound Investment you will hear the sounds of the The Beach Boys, the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave, The Four Tops, the Young Rascals, the Temptations, the Righteous Brothers, the Kinks, the Supremes, the Hollies, the Doobie Brothers, the Rolling Stones, ZZ Top and many more.

All concerts take place in the heart of town on the Ella Grace Mintz Stage in McCreery Park. They begin at 7 p.m., rain or shine. (In case of heavy rain, bands will move to the pavilion in McCreery Park.) Concertgoers are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets. Coolers are welcome, and local restaurants are open.

The Top of the Grade Concerts are made possible through a community grant from Polk County Community Foundation. All concerts are free to the public through a Free Community Events grant. Top of the Grade Concerts are coordinated by the Saluda Downtown Foundation and produced this year by Peter Eisenbrown of Block Party Productions.
