10 shows to see in Clover

Clover School District Auditorium Performing Arts Series announces its 15th season with shows coming to 1625 Highway 55 E.

The season gets underway in September with music act Loren Barrigar and Mark Mazengarb and their guitar instrumentals with harmonies.

There will be two shows in October: the Acrobats of Cirque-tacular with all the wow factor and star quality of the circus tent, concert hall and Broadway stage in one event and the president’s own United States Marine Band stops in Clover as part of the 125th anniversary of the organizations first tour.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members The Drifters appear in November with a celebration of their 50-years of uninterrupted hits like “Up On The Roof,” “Under The Boardwalk,” “This Magic Moment” and “Stand By Me.”

In January, The Jeff Little Trio offers an eclectic and innovative mix of fiddle tunes, old time country and traditional blues. His two-handed piano playing is breathtaking in speed, precision and clarity.

Also in January, CSDA celebrates the 18th annual Family Night with a performance by The Healing Force. Founded in 1975 by Joseph and Gail Anderson, this family of singers, storytellers and musicians share African culture through drumming, songs, stories and exhibits from the Anderson’s personal collection of more than 150 items from African countries.

In February, take a rip roaring pedal to the metal road trip down memory lane with “Route 66” solid harmonies, quick changes, flashy dance numbers and comedic timing.

Also in February, a group of traveling actors put a funny, fast-paced, slapstick spin on the dark plot twists, fairy tale romance and adorable forest inhabitants from the traditional version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The series concludes in March with two shows: The Annie Moses Band, an ensemble of singers, songwriters, musicians and siblings who combine technical skill with showmanship; and The Glenn Miller Orchestra closes the season.

Season tickets cost $50 per person. Individual tickets for each event also are available.
