Nightrain - The Guns N' Roses Tribute Experience at Oconee Brewing Company

Saturday, June 3 at 8:00pm

Nightrain’s Tribute show to Guns n’ Roses has been taking the US by storm for years. The accurate vocals and hypnotic swaying of Axl both capture the audience’s attention from the first beat down to the last note. Slash’s classic riffs and perfect showmanship (and let’s not forget the top hat) will make everyone do a double take.

Ride Oconee

Ride Oconee has all sorts of electric riding options from all price levels with the goal of having both affordable options that start at $500 for electric scooters for ages 12 and up, to e-bikes in the $1,700 range - all the way up to luxury electric low-speed cars that you can legally, and safely rock about in your gated community.

Not only can you zoom around town in style, you can take your lake days to the next level by gliding across the water at high speeds on electric jetboards. The riding experiences at Ride Oconee are not only fun, but environmentally friendly as the products are fully electric.

Trudging along from place to place is a thing of the past - at Ride Oconee, it’s all about the journey & destinations are optional.

Ride Oconee can now rent for a whole weekend, just in time for Memorial Day!
