Thursdays on College concerts continue with Josh Roberts and The Hinges


Josh Roberts and The Hinges, an Americana/Indie/Rock band from Columbia, S.C., will perform for the second Thursdays on College concert on May 9th in downtown Hartsville, sponsored by RBC Bearings. The City of Hartsville and Hartsville Downtown Development Association are presenting the downtown street concert series.

The rock and roll group, which has recorded and toured widely since it formed in 2005, has developed a powerful style of music influenced by blues, country, punk and soul, something that Josh Roberts has described as a “melting pot American music, real rock and roll music with the roots showing.” The group has released many albums, including 2012’s well-reviewed “A Mighty Long Distance and Murky Old Time.”

The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the block of East College Avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets, and run for about two hours. Food will be available for purchase from Bizzell’s Food and Spirits and drinks will be provided by Vintage Wine Boutique. Child care is available through The Play Zone, located at the concert site at 125 N. Fifth St., and which may be contacted at (843) 332-7513.
