Strictly Skynyrd will bring the sound of classic Lynyrd Skynyrd to downtown Summerville, performing hits such as “What’s Your Name,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” and “Freebird.” The band uses period-correct instruments to help recreate the look and sound of 1970s Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The Hwy 27 Band, made up of local musicians, will kick off the evening with a mix of upbeat songs across several genres.

East Washington Street will close from US 27/Commerce Street to Regions Bank beginning at 3:15 p.m. Friday and will remain closed until 11 p.m. Regions Bank customers will still have access to the drive-thru from the East Washington/University Street side and the main lobby from the north end of Economy Street.

The public is encouraged to bring lawn chairs and enjoy an evening of music downtown. The event is family-friendly, and Entertainment District rules will apply.

A Chattooga County woman was arrested Friday after allegedly misusing the 911 system, according to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies say Kimberly Joy Basham was taken into custody on May 8, 2026, and charged with unlawful conduct during a 911 call.

According to the incident report, a deputy was dispatched to an address on 98 7th Avenue in Menlo after Basham called 911 requesting law enforcement assistance. While speaking with dispatch, she reportedly stated there was an emergency but did not provide details, later advising there was no emergency before hanging up.

When the responding deputy arrived, Basham allegedly stated she needed an officer to go to court with her and change her court date. She was informed that this did not constitute an emergency and was subsequently placed under arrest for unlawful conduct of 911.

Authorities say Basham was transported to the Chattooga County Jail without further incident.
