Levitt AMP’s Scott Mulvahill, Grass Skirts concert may be at Cine due to rain

New Albany, MS- Due to the likelihood of rain this weekend, event organizers may be moving the concert to the old Cine Theater in the Magnolia Civic Center located at 127 E Bankhead (across from Regions Bank) in Downtown New Albany.

This weekend’s concert, which features bassist Scott Mulvahill and his band with an opening show by the local bluegrass gospel band, the Grass Skirts, will begin at 7:30 on Saturday night, July 16^th.

Leading weather sites are forecasting up to a 60% rain chance from Thursday through Sunday.

“We’ve been really lucky so far,” says Sean Johnson, one of the organizers of the event. “Rain has threatened at a couple of the concerts, but we’ve not had any problems with the concerts themselves as the rain has either quit or moved away from us before production. This weekend we had the opportunity to have a rain plan at the Cine, so we just want everyone to know.”

Organizers emphasize, however, that if the forecast changes and precipitation is downgraded, the concert will go on at the Park Along the River.

“Luckily, we can move with as little as a day’s notice.”

Bassist Scott Mulvahill

The concert his week promises to be a good one. Scott Mulvahill, who is a full-time band member with country super-star Ricky Skaggs who has shared the stage with Alison Krauss, Barry Gibb, Bruce Hornsby, Brad Paisley, Peter Frampton and more, will be bringing his own brand of Americana Music to New Albany this Saturday.

“He’s one of those musicians that a lot of people have heard, but not heard about,” says Johnson. “He’s still young and my bet is that he’ll be breaking out in the next few years.”
