Main Street Live to throw Back to School Bash

The 2025 Main Street Live schedule will come to a close Friday, but that doesn't mean the summer of music is over. The TC Bryant Band, originally slated to kick off the free summer concert series on June 6 before being canceled due to rain, will officially close the Main Street Live season at Security Federal Savings Bank's west lawn Aug. 1 with the Park Theater serving as a backup plan in case rain again poses an issue.

Before that, however, Main Street McMinnville is throwing its annual Back to School Bash July 25 with Santana tribute band, Soul Sacrifice. The band has established itself as one of the country's most sought-after Santana tributes, covering Santana hits from 1969 to present with songs including "Black Magic Woman," "Oye Como Va" and "Smooth."

The band is comprised of Chuck “Carlos” Nelson, lead guitar/vocals; Jeff Krinks, guitar/vocals; Keith Landry, lead vocals/percussion; Kenny Zarider, keyboards; Ron Krasinski, drums; Mike Claiborne, bass; John C Santos, Latin percussion; and Diana Sosa, Latin Percussion.

"We had The Bicho Brothers a couple of years ago and they did '70s music and were a big hit," Main Street McMinnville Executive Director Jennifer Flatt Meredith said. "The guy from Bicho Brothers is the lead singer for Soul Sacrifice. This is his other band, so we're excited about welcoming him back.

"We'll also be doing the Back to School Bash. We'll have a bounce house, Shelby Durham will be there doing photography, we will accept back to school supply donations and we will also be giving away school supplies and Justin Reed The Balloon Dude will be there."

Vendors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. The Park Theater will not be available as a backup plan in case of rain this Friday.

Main Street Live is presented by Main Street McMinnville and is sponsored by Main Street Media, Security Federal Savings Bank, Main Street McMinnville, Bridgestone, McMinnville Electric System, Scooter's Coffee, Dr Pepper, Ben Lomand Connect, Law Offices of Galligan & Newman, Warren County, City of McMinnville, The Cafe at Tree City, The Butcher and Middle Tennessee Natural Gas Utility District.
