On Saturday, Oct. 29, they'll bring their energetic stage act to Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery in Elizabethtown.
Widely known as a “cool” country band, Sawyer Brown was founded in Apopka, Florida, in the early 1980s. Since coming on to the scene with their first hit, “Leona,” the band has released over 20 albums, charted over 50 singles, and received several country music awards.
Now they are primarily a touring band with over 4,000 shows under their belt. Their live performances feature the rollicking dance hits for which they're known and the more serious ballads their fans will remember.
In addition to Sawyer Brown, concert-goers will be treated to performances by North Carolina's favorite CMA Music Entertainer of the Year,
Brian Mayer, and Shelby County natives Dirty Grass Soul.
The family-friendly show will begin at 7:30 p.m., with gates opening at 6. Guests will have an opportunity to purchase food, beverages, wine, and spirits on site during the concert.
“This show is for anyone who loves country music,” Derrick Rice, Events Director for Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery, told Up & Coming Weekly.
“Gen Z country music fans and those who remember Sawyer Brown are really going to enjoy this show.”
The national award-winning Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery is by no means the average concert venue. Founded in 2014, this unique establishment has something to offer anyone looking for beauty and luxury right outside Cumberland County.
From their beautiful grounds to their romantic on site cabins, Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery offers a wide range of experiences for their guests to enjoy.
Wine tastings can be scheduled in the vineyard's Cork Room Restaurant, and bottles are available for purchase in the Tipsy Toad Ballroom.
Additionally, Cape Fear Distillery’s award-winning spirits ought to do the trick for those who like their libations a bit stronger.
The Cork Room, open Wednesday through Sunday, features southern staples such as fried green tomatoes and more exotic interpretations like black-eyed pea hummus with pita. The menu is full of local ingredients and farm-to-table options crafted by a team of talented chefs trained in the art of southern cuisine.
Guests can take in the massive collection of sculptures and paintings that dot the grounds and adorn the walls of buildings around the property. Pieces from Sir Paul McCartney, Muhammed Ali, and Burt Reynolds are just a few that make up one of the largest celebrity art collections
anywhere.
The vineyard is also perfect for a romantic getaway or “day-cation” with a stay at the vineyard's lakeside Cape Fear Cottages or a relaxing trip to the Vines Day Spa.
