Valdese, NC-  The first June concert in the FFN series kicks off with a bang as Chasing Phoenix takes the stage, this Friday, June 7! The classic rock group was highly requested after their 2023 performance and Valdese looks forward to welcoming them again to Temple Field.

The 2024 FFN Summer Concert Series runs every Friday through May 17th to August 30th on Temple Field behind the Old Rock School. Regional bands feature all different genres of live music each night in these FREE community events. Concert attendees can bring chairs or blankets and enjoy the evening of live music, lawn games, great food, and family fun. The shows begin at 7:00 P.M. and end at 10:00 P.M. These events are made possible by our generous local sponsors: Mountain Burrito, UNC Health Blue Ridge, Bimbo Bakeries, and Catawba Valley Healthcare. Thank you! 

“When musicians Zee Phoenix and Ronnie Williams met in 2014, the chemistry was undeniable both on and off the stage. They formed the duo Chasing Phoenix and began playing local bars and open mic nights. With Zee on vocals and Ronnie on guitar/vocals, their unique musical style built a following in and around Charleston, South Carolina. Chasing Phoenix brings a motley musical experience every time they play. With something for everyone, they are the one band you want to make sure you follow!” (From chasingphoenixband.com)
