Valdese Family Friday Night summer series will continue their season with the Night Move Band beginning at 7:00pm in the Town Parking area in downtown Valdese.

THE NIGHT MOVE BAND is a 6 piece band that performs R&B, Beach, Classic Rock, and Funk music and features 4 part harmonies on many of their songs. The band features 5 vocalists that each take a turn at singing lead. The band consists of guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, drums, saxophone, and percussion. TNMB was nominated twice for The Rising Star Award at the Cammy Awards (Beach Music Awards) and Once for Smoothie of the Year with their original "Smooth Stepping Papa". Each member of the band has more than 20 years of experience traveling up and down the East Coast and performing with many top acts in the music business. The Night Move Band has shared the stage with many regional and national acts including The Tams, Clifford Curry, Billy Scott & The Party Prophets, The Embers, The Chairmen of the Board, Jim Quick & The Coastline Band, Sir Jonathon Burton, Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs, The Catalina's, The Fantastic Shakers, The Carolina Soul Band, Hip Pocket, Band of Oz, The Castaways, The Entertainers, and many others. The Night Move Band utilizes top of the line sound and lighting equipment to provide their audience with a professional musical experience.

Phil Witherspoon, Lead Vocalist/Percussion/Keyboards, has been in bands for over 30 years and has played all up and down the East Coast. Fronting the band and bringing his special talents to the audience is what he is all about. Mike Miller is the newest member and provides keyboard, lead and backup vocals. Ron Skinner adds the bass guitar/vocals with a funky low punch delivery and is one half of the bands solid rhythm section. Robert “Bob” Bunch Drums is the other half of the band’s tight rhythm section. He has been playing drums for many years and has toured the East Coast playing with a variety of bands. Bob is an accomplished drummer that lays down a back beat that very few drummers can provide. Michael Roof plays saxophone and provides vocals. Larry Arndt provides lead guitar and brings his soulful/blues/rock attitude to the band.

Concessions will be available and provided by the Old Colony Players Community Theatre. Old Colony Players are the producers of the historic outdoor drama “From This Day Forward” which will open on July 13 to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Myra’s cruise in will continue every Friday night at 6:00pm and downtown shops will remain open later.
