RiverLink's RiverMusic -- a
series of free live music performances beside the French Broad River and
Asheville's premier multi-modal event -- continues on September
13 at 5 p.m. at the RiverLink Sculpture and Performance Plaza (map) in the River Arts
District.
On the bill for Friday,
September 13, are Alan Evans Trio, Mike Rhodes Quartet and the
popular Bubonik Funk Bands.
This rain-or-shine features five
local craft brewers: Highland, Pisgah, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium and Asheville
Brewing Co. To feed the hungry, there will be foodtrucks: Melt Your Heart, Pho
Ya Belly, The Low Down, Gypsy Queen Cuisine, and non-alcoholic beverages and
other goodies from Ursa Minor.
Inspired by a grant from the
Chaddick Foundation, RiverMusic is also sponsored by Prestige Subaru, Pisgah
Investments, Ingles Markets. Special thanks to Heira Productions, and
Sundance Power Systems, Inc.as well as our beer sponsors, Sierra Nevada, New
Belgium, Pisgah, Asheville Brewing and Highlands.
Attendees are encouraged to
arrive at the event at 144 Riverside Drive by bike, on foot, or even by boat.
Watercraft can easily be landed at the new river access RiverLink had
constructed at the site. Asheville on Bikes will offer a bike corral for safe
bike parking. This is a rain or shine event - be concerned about water
levels. Be sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket so you have a place to
rest after dancing under the stars.
A new transportation option this
year is the Gray Line Trolley. Gray Line Trolley has signed
on to provide a shuttle between the downtown area the RiverMusic
site. The trolley will loop between the event site and the Aloft
Hotel. The last trolley will leave the concert site at 10 p.m.
Dogs and outside food and drink
are not allowed.

there to direct you.
