5 to 7 p.m.

Performers: Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles

Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles blend swing, Latin, pop and jazz with undertones of psychedelic rock and seductive soul.

Femme fatale frontwoman, Adrianne Blanks leads a band of talented and versatile musicians —Dillon Young (guitar), Matt Blanks (keys) and Elias Grimsley (drums)—conjuring a unique musical style.

Inspired by the colorful world of Jacques Demy and evocative of the 1960s, the band provides a soundtrack to Adrianne’s speakeasy storytelling. Bringing both the swankiest and the grittiest sounds of the 60s spotlighting songs with a spellbinding feel by The Zombies, The Turtles, The Beatles, Francoise Hardy, and Serge Gainsbourg.

Each summer, Blue Ridge Community College offers summer concerts beside the College lake as a gift to the community. These free Sunday evening concerts are scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. and feature a wide range of musical and vocal groups. The public is invited to bring lawn chairs and picnics to enjoy the music by the lake.

The series location will be on the east side of the lake behind the Technology, Education and Development Center.

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will take place in the Technology, Education & Development Center (TEDC) Building.
