Live Oak High School alumnus, critically acclaimed blues guitarist and Nashville recording artist Shane Dwight returned to his hometown to rock the Friday Night Music Series on Aug. 20.

The concert at the Community & Cultural Center Downtown Amphitheater opened with the Shand Walton Band before Shane Dwight and his band took the stage.

Dwight, who specializes in blues-rock guitar, has recorded nine full studio albums since 2002, and has toured the world. He continues to make occasional appearances at South County venues, including an annual performance at the Friday Night Music Series.

The FNMS is sponsored by the Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce. Delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic this year, the 2021 series began earlier this month and will continue every Friday through Oct. 8, at the amphitheater located at 17000 Monterey Road.

The Aug. 27 FNMS concert will feature headlining band Maroon Vibes, with opener Lavender Fields. The show starts every Friday at 6pm and lasts until about 9:30pm.

Food and beverages are for sale on site, and no outside alcohol is allowed. Attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets.
