The Brookhaven Fall Concert Series is returning to the Railroad Park Stage in historic downtown, with fresh faces and sounds, as well as familiar favorites.
For three Friday evenings, 7-9 p.m., a different group of musical artists will take command of the open-air waves to provide entertainment. For the second year, these free fall concerts are provided by the Brookhaven Tourism Council. The Council has sponsored a three-part Summer Concert Series since 2017.
The series begins on Sept. 13, with Symone French & The Trouille Troupe. Fronted by Mobile-born singer-songwriter French — a successful professional singer, and former contestant on The Voice and American Idol — the group has “a diverse stage show that mixes soul, heartache, and Southern fried sultry soulfulness,” according to her website.
Next up is returning favorite Aa’Keela & The Beats, on Oct. 18. The multiple-member Meridian-based group has quickly become a popular act in the area. The energetic cover band’s catalog includes a blend of funk, soul, R&B, jazz, rock and gospel.
The series will wrap up on Nov. 15 with Keys vs. Strings. Consisting of Topher Brown, of Wesson, and Marvin Curtis, of Byram, the duo began with a dueling piano show but evolved to include Brown’s skills on guitar, as well. Both of the men are or have been worship leaders, and present a family-oriented show.
All three concerts are outdoors and free to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, and enjoy beverages and food from nearby downtown restaurants.
