Douglas Cameron Orchestra will open the 2015 season on Mother’s Day. This 18-piece big band orchestra is led by Douglas Cameron, LA Music Award’s Male Vocalist of the Year and National Crooner of the Year. His smooth, seductive vocals electrify the soul by evoking the spirit of such talents as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. A talented and consummate performer, Douglas has been thrilling audiences for over 25 years with his incredible vocals and versatility.

June will welcome Atlanta-based show band Drive Time Band. A 10-piece show band, Drive Time, is comprised of a 5 piece rhythm section, 5 voice ensemble of tight harmony and seasoned with a powerful horn section. Playing favorite pop hits and ballads, this band is sure to delight audiences of all generations.

In July, the summer heat welcomes beach music legends The Tams. The Tams have been entertaining and thrilling audiences for over 40 years. Known for such hits as “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy,” “What Kind of Fool,” and “I’ve Been Hurt,” The Tams have had two Gold records, and one Platinum single.

August will bring Atlanta-based The Return back to Heritage Green. This Beatles tribute band is known for their musicianship, energetic live performances, and uncanny resemblance to the original greats.

The 2015 Concerts by the Springs series will close out Sept. 6 with crowd favorite, Banks and Shane. Banks and Shane is a high-energy, hard-kicking band that has audiences around the world dancing in the aisles to popular favorites and reminiscing with memorable ballads.
