Anne Springs Close Greenway Announces New Rooted Rhythm Music Series, Partners with SC Public Radio to Bring Innovative Musical Talent to York County
Enjoy the magic of an evening filled with your favorite musicians set beneath a lush, tree-lined landscape. The Anne Springs Close Greenway, a 2,100-acre nature park located just minutes south of Charlotte, announced this summer its newest live music opportunity, the Rooted Rhythm Music Series. This week, the nonprofit will release the Rhythm Pass, allowing guests to purchase tickets for all three shows at a discounted rate of $60 for the pass. The music series is a continued partnership with South Carolina Public Radio, and the Greenway will play host to nationally acclaimed talent within the Comporium Amphitheater for three headline concerts planned for the latter summer months.

About Anne Springs Close Greenway
Nestled amid beautiful lakes and hardwood forests, the Anne Springs Close Greenway℠ is a natural preserve more than twice the size of Central Park. Minutes south of Charlotte in Fort Mill, SC, its 2,100 acres serve as a natural buffer from urban development and provide a wide-open space for countless activities – from hiking, biking and horseback riding to picnics, kayaking and more.
The land has ties to the Catawba Indians and the Civil War and has been permanently preserved for public use. The children of Anne Springs Close donated the land in honor of her lifelong commitment to recreation and the environment to provide a natural landscape for the community to enjoy. The Greenway℠ contains native plants and animals, historic buildings, a 40-mile network of trails, Greenway Gateway welcome center and facilities for weddings and other special events. As a non-profit organization, it depends on memberships, program fees as well as private donations to support annual operations. The Greenway is owned and operated by Leroy Springs & Company Inc., a 501(c)3 organization that receives no government funding for its ongoing operations and programs.
