Buzzard Mountain Boys concert
If you’re ready for a night of Southern fun under the stars, the newly restored meadow at the Dunwoody Nature Center is the place to be Saturday night. Grab a blanket or lawn chair and pack a picnic to enjoy while the Buzzard Mountain Boys perform as part of the park’s summer music series. The Boys — brothers Joe Bob and Jim Bob — hail from the North Georgia mountains, where they learned to play music in between working shifts at their father’s liquid corn extraction facility. They fill their shows with corny humor and lots of classic bluegrass. Moondog Growlers will be in the park with selections of craft beers to enjoy during the concert.
7-9 p.m. June 28. Free for nature center members; $5 for nonmember adults; $3 for students; free for children younger than 3. Dunwoody Nature Center, 5343 Roberts Drive, Dunwoody. 770-394-3322, dunwoodynature.org.
