–Atascadero Colony Days and Wild Fields Brewhouse is proud to announce the Shawn Clark Family Band will be playing at the Tent City After Dark concert this Friday, Oct. 2 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Shawn Clark writes music from the heartland. At the Shawn Clark Family Band show, you may hear a Hank Williams, Sr. tune or an obscure Marty Robbins song, but primarily, you’ll hear Shawn Clark’s original tunes, delivered in his confident baritone.

“We are so honored to be able to hold the concert with Wild Fields and hope the community will come out to have some fun on a perfect evening with good music and good food,” said Colony Days Committee member Karen McNamara. “Ryan and Jacque are amazing and have given so much to the community, we want this evening to be a show of support for them.”

This year’s Tent City After Dark concert will be streamed onto the big screen at Wild Fields Brewhouse, which is celebrating its Grand Reopening. This is the next best thing to live as the band will be playing on-site inside Wild FIelds Brewhouse and streamed onto the big screen outside. Watching virtually remotely is also possible.

Drink package specials and food from Wild Fields Brewhouse will be available. Tickets are $40 for general drive-in spots and $50 for a premium drive-in spot. The drive-in spot is for one car and as many passengers as can be comfortable. There are a total of 64 drive-in spots, so buy your tickets at colonydays.org before they sell out!

The Drive-In/Virtual Tent City After Dark Concert is part of the 47th Annual Atascadero Colony Days, a Hometown Celebration, that runs from Thursday, Oct. 1 through Sunday, Oct. 4. The celebration continues on Saturday, Oct. 3 with a to-go breakfast from the Lion’s Club at 8 a.m., drive by the reverse parade from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m and pick up a Barbecue at the Fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Colony Days Committee will be distributing barbeque meals for four in front of the Atascadero Printery, located at 6351 Olmeda Ave. Tickets are $50 for tri-tip and $40 for chicken.
