The sights and sounds of spring on the Grand Strand go beyond the colorful flowers blooming and the shorebirds singing. The season also sees the appearance of several big-time musical acts and the sounds of live concerts blasting throughout the Myrtle Beach area. Guests at the Caribbean Resort & Villas can catch some great shows to go with their beach retreat.

This year's spring concert season promises to be one of the best ever on the Grand Strand, beginning with a one-night show featuring national singing sensations The Texas Tenors. You may remember the trio from their national debut on NBC's hit TV show “America's Got Talent,” and they continue to wow audiences with their unique blend of country, pop and the classics, including the release of several chart-topping albums and a starring role in an Emmy Award-winning PBS special.

Performing Saturday, April 8, at the historic Alabama Theatre at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, the trio of John Hagen, Marcus Collins and JC Fisher deliver a tight vocal performance with spine-chilling harmonies, all presented with a touch of humor and charm. The Texas Tenors cover everyone from opera legend Puccini to iconic country music group Alabama, the namesake of the theater. The Broadway-style production has been a big hit on the current tour, and tickets are going fast.

But if you are not in town to see The Texas Tenors, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to catch some great concerts during your Myrtle Beach vacation this spring. From national touring acts to local music festivals, the Grand Strand will be rocking throughout the month of April and beyond. Here are a few highlights from the local spring concert calendar:
