Percy Sledge

The concert series at the Coastal Carolina Fair’s Lakefront Stage mini-amphitheater concludes this week with a little bit of soul, country, and Southern-fried rock.

Veteran Southern rock band .38 Special are known for their big ’80s hits “Wild-Eyed Southern Boys,” “Rockin’ Into The Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” and “Like No Other Night”. They play at 7:30 p.m. on Thurs. Nov. 4.

Legendary soul/R&B singer Percy Sledge (pictured) returns to the fair for a show at 8 p.m. on Fri. Nov. 5. Sledge’s biggest hit was 1966’s waltzy “When a Man Loves a Woman.”

A triple-shot of doo-wop and ’50s rock is set for the final show on Sat. Nov. 6 when members of the Coasters, the Platters, and the Marvelettes share the stage at 8 p.m. (request “Charlie Brown” and “Yakety Yak”).
