Alexander County Summer Concert Lineup Is Set

March 21, 2026 By Richard C. Gilbert

Alexander County is pleased to announce the 2026 Summer Concert Series on the Rotary Performance Stage at Alexander County Courthouse Park in downtown Taylorsville.

The free concert series will feature five bands on the following dates:

• May 9 – On The Border (Eagles tribute)
• June 6 – Harvest Moon (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tribute)
• July 18 – The Extraordinaires – Independence Celebration commemorating America 250
• August 22 – Play It Again (Luke Bryan tribute)
• September 19 – All My Rowdy Friends (Hank Williams Jr. tribute)

Back by popular demand on May 9 is On The Border – The Ultimate Eagles Tribute. The band delivers an authentic concert experience, performing everything from ballads like “Desperado” and “Lyin’ Eyes” to rock hits such as “Life in the Fast Lane” and “Heartache Tonight.” With stunning guitar work, multi-lead vocals, and six-part harmonies, audiences will feel like they’re attending an actual Eagles concert.

On June 6, Harvest Moon, a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tribute band, takes the stage. Formed in 2018 by veterans of the Atlanta music scene, the group recreates the iconic harmonies and distinctive sound that made CSN&Y and Neil Young legendary. Harvest Moon offers an authentic journey through decades of unforgettable music.

The July 18 concert features The Extraordinaires from the Hickory/Charlotte area. Formed in 2003, the band blends classic hits and rhythm & blues into a high-energy performance that gets crowds dancing. From powerful horn sections to the smooth lead vocals of Kara Renner, The Extraordinaires promise an electric live show. This concert is part of Alexander County’s Independence Celebration and will conclude with a fireworks show at Alexander Central High School at approximately 9:30 p.m. Fireworks are funded in part by an America 250 grant, a program of the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Play It Again, a Luke Bryan tribute band, will perform on August 22. This band brings modern country hits to the stage, including Luke Bryan favorites such as “Play It Again,” “Country Girl,” “Drink a Beer,” and many more, along with songs from similar contemporary country artists. Lead singer Scott Jordan is also known as the NBC announcer for Monster Jam.

Closing out the series on September 19 is All My Rowdy Friends, a Hank Williams Jr. tribute. Frontman Frank Morrow captures the sound and stage presence of “Bocephus,” keeping the family tradition alive with a high-energy performance. The band has toured nationally since 2009, performing at festivals, casinos, theaters, and corporate events.

Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Food trucks will be on site for each concert. Please note that coolers and tents are not permitted. All park rules and regulations apply.

Alexander County Courthouse Park is located at 101 West Main Avenue in Taylorsville and is owned and operated by Alexander County Government.
