Franks and Dranks serves up summer fun on July 17 at Piedmont Arts

July 1, 2026

Franks and Dranks will serve up a summer evening packed with live music, great food, and good vibes from 6-9 p.m., Friday, July 17, at Piedmont Arts.

Get ready for an unforgettable performance by singer-songwriter William Nesmith, whose smooth blend of pop, R&B, and soul has drawn comparisons to Stevie Wonder, Sam Smith, and Bruno Mars. He won the 2018 Songwriter Standoff hosted by the Piedmont-Triad Chapter of the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

Local all-star chefs Shane Pinkston and Will Gravely will be cooking up hot dogs with all the fixings, plus chips, cookies, soft drinks, and water. Beer and wine will also be available for purchase at the cash bar.

Tickets are $20 for general admission and $10 for ages 12 and under. Food is included with admission. Tickets are available for purchase at Piedmont Arts and PiedmontArts.org.

This event is sponsored by Burton & Company.
