FAIRHOPE, Ala. - Local band Cool Change will perform an evening concert Tuesday, Jan. 11 at the James P. Nix Center. The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. and last approximately an hour with a coffee intermission.  

Cool Change is a versatile band, which has played together eight years, according to a city of Fairhope news release.

“They promise a fun-filled and exciting music experience,” the release states.

With their smooth three part harmony, the band will take you on a trip down memory lane with the great songs from the past and present.”
