Piedmont HealthCare Friday After 5 Concert Series Returns with The Ultimate 90’s Experience, Gump Fiction
We’re kicking off the 2024 Piedmont HealthCare Friday After 5 Summer Concert Series in Downtown Statesville, NC. Join us this Friday, May 3 June 14 (RESCHEDULED) at 6pm, to rock and roll with Gump Fiction, the Ultimate 90’s Experience.
Gump Fiction is a high-octane, nostalgia-fueled time-machine with one totally radical destination: the 1990s. Known as the Ultimate 90s Experience, they will take you back to the days of dial-up internet, slap bracelets, Tamagotchi pets, and the music you forgot you loved. Gump Fiction is your chance to go back in time and rock out to your favorite A-side tracks, from Nirvana to Britney Spears, and everywhere in between.
You think Gump Fiction is just your everyday cover band? As if! These four guys and a girl bring an obsession with all things 1990s and an ability to interest and engage each crowd in front of them. Since 2012, the band has performed hundreds of shows across the world, from small, corporate events to high-profile, city-wide festivals for crowds of over 25,000. Gump Fiction is committed to take your Friday night to the next level through quality music, entertaining showmanship, and of course, your favorite hits of the 90s!
