A Season of Sound
These performances come during a busy month for Fountain Inn’s arts and culture. While local restaurants and bars keep the weekly rhythm going, the Younts Center for the Performing Arts is also concluding its run of “His Life: The Musical” this coming Sunday, March 29.
With the 20th Annual Mac Arnold Blues Festival just a few weeks away in April, this week’s lineup serves as a perfect preview for what is shaping up to be a musical spring in the “Diamond of the Upstate.”
