The Grapevine Band on Friday night was fabulous. I will look forward to seeing them again in the future. It is amazing how much energy they had for the entire 2 hour concert. One of the best I have seen
Hi Gail, thanks for the comment. Hopefully the next two Marietta square concerts will be just as good. If you make it to either of them, be sure to stop back by and let us know what you thought.
Does Mariett sponsor Movies in the park.
Hi Willie,
We are not aware of any upcoming Movies in Glover Park, however movies are sometimes shown at The Strand Theatre next to the park in Marietta Square. There are also outdoor Movies in the park at Laurel Park and East Cobb Park. Check out the Marietta.com calendar of events for more information regarding upcoming showtimes.
I loved your 2009 concert series and am looking forward to 2010. Am interested in when the calendar will be ready.
Love these bands

Who’s playing the first concert 4/23? When is the upcoming band list going to be posted?
thanks!
Many, many thanks to —
Marietta Parks & Recreation, Carolyn Morris and Maggie May — Thanks for the opportunity to come again and “party” with the stellar group of music enthusiasts from Marietta. This is our third or fourth concert there, and each one seems to be more fun to the last. Special thanks to Maggie for her kind help and attention. I told you, as Marvin Gaye said in his song “You’re A Wonderful One”!!
To ALL our friends, neighbors and “fans” who came out to support us, and
To all the people in attendance who DIDN’T know the Soul Purpose Band before last night. We’ve already received 100s of verbal compliments and rave reviews, and a few are coming in by our website. You guys ROCK!!!
WE LOVE THE MARIETTA CONCERTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ATTEND. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity to come and be with you all.
We wish you all Peace, and the BEST of God’s blessings until we see you again.
SINCERELY,
Dave Penn
For The SOUL PURPOSE Band
Several hundred of us enjoyed The Soul Purpose Band tonight in Glover Park on Historic Marietta Square. The vocals, the horns(!!) & the playlist were wonderful, & a great time was had by all. We’re looking for an opportunity to enjoy another evening with The Soul Purpose Band!

Been coming to the Square since the CONCERTS started. Soul Purpose was simply the best. As a native, it’s easy to see why people come here and NEVER leave…thank you…
My wife, our friends and the other people we met there had a great time Friday night @ Marietta Square. The Soul Purpose Band was awesome!!! The friendliness of the poice dept; the staff, the overall concert atmosphere last Friday night was AWESOME!!! Please have The Soul Purpose Band back!!!!!
My family and friends loved the concert on June 25,2010. The atmosphere was great out in the park on a Friday night. The Soul Purpose Band was EXCELLENT and I would love to hear more from them, so please, please have them back for many more concerts!!!
The Soul Purpose BAnd on 6/26 was awesome! I have seen them perform before and I can never get enough of them. Yvette Kleckley, the lead singer should be a star. She is so talented. The band is just the best…..just waiting for them to drop a cd. Please have them at Glover Park again. I will definitely be there with many of my family and friends.
Is it still on for tonight or cancelled due to weather?
We are not there but it looks like it is still on. Let’s hope the rain stays away for just a bit longer.
How late do the concerts typically run? Love to make it out when my husband gets off work..
