The summer concert series at Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater (aka The Fred) will provide plenty of throwbacks and singalong opportunities.
The 2017 Butler Lexus and Audi of South Atlanta Summer Concert Series at the Peachtree City venue kicks off May 13 with '90s radio "All Star" Smash Mouth and wraps Sept. 10 with a double bill of '70s and '80s rock anthems courtesy of Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo and Toto.
