Alexander City’s signature concert series returns next month with a unique and energetic mix of musical styles in Strand Park and at Lake Martin Amphitheater. While the opening acts had not yet been named at Lake Martin Living magazine’s presstime, mid-stage performers and headliners for both Friday and Saturday nights’ shows were set, said Jacob Meacham, CEO and president of Alexander City Chamber of Commerce, which coordinates the two-night event.

Taking the mid-stage at Strand Park on June 9, Adam Ezra Group broke into the music business fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm. They played out-of-the-way bars and house concerts as they built a loyal following around their music and their commitment to activism and social change.
