Take in music amongst the great outdoors with today’s Groupon to The Villages Amphitheater in Fayetteville. Choose from four options: • For $15, you get two general-admission lawn tickets to see Frank Sinatra interpreter Steve Lippia on Saturday, July 9 at 8 p.m. (a $30 value). • For $25, you get two reserved terrace tickets to see Frank Sinatra interpreter Steve Lippia on Saturday, July 9 at 8 p.m. (a $50 value). • For $20, you get two general-admission lawn tickets to see country-guitarist Roy Clark on Saturday, July 23 at 8 p.m. (a $40 value). • For $30, you get two reserved terrace tickets to see country-guitarist Roy Clark on Saturday, July 23 at 8 p.m. (a $60 value). Come rain or shine, musicians send melodies soaring toward the starry-eyed audience and glittering constellations at the open-air Villages Amphitheater. Steve Lippia channels Ol’ Blue Eyes’s easy delivery and impeccable cadence throughout Simply Sinatra , his 85-minute big-band showcase. Horn blowers in the brass section pucker up as Lippia swings through classic tunes such as “Come Fly With Me” and “My Way,” which Sinatra composed while ordering a sandwich. Country Music Hall of Fame guitarist Roy Clark electrifies audiences with lighting-quick picking and an ebullient personality that endeared viewers to the television show Hee Haw for more than two decades. With 60 years of performing under his belt, Clark ships out on a new tour to deliver lively bluegrass ditties and hot bowls of chili across the nation. The box office opens at 6 p.m. and ushers guests through the gates at 7 p.m. to unpack coolers and uncork bottles from home. Like a frontier-era land-grab, the law of first come, first served rules the general-admission lawn seating, where visitors’ chairs and tables stake claims on a grassy plateau for views of the 55-foot stage as well as access to the venue’s glistering underground-oil deposits. Those holding terrace tickets may consult the seating chart and then contact the box office to reserve chairs along the theater’s open, stepped galleries.
