RiverLink's RiverMusic continues on June 10 with The Randall Bramblett Band, Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons, and headliners Bloodkin taking the Prestige Subaru Stage. The event will take place at the RiverLink Sculpture and Performance Plaza, located at 144 Riverside Drive in the River Arts District (map). RiverMusic gates open at 5 p.m. and the good times roll until 10, with all events sponsored by Prestige Subaru, The Chaddick Foundation, AC Hotel Asheville Downtown, and Allegra Marketing Print Mail.
Says former Washington Post music
critic and Doctor of Rockology Joe Sasfy of the evening:
On Friday, June 10, RiverLink's
RiverMusic concert series offers a very special evening we're calling
"Friends Of Widespread Panic" day, featuring 3 acts that have
accompanied, collaborated with and written for the legendary jam band.
Headlining is Athens, Georgia's Bloodkin, whose whiskey-soaked, guitar-driven
Southern rock sound conjures everyone from the Stones to Skynyrd. Also
appearing is Jerry Joseph and the Jackmorons, led by one of the finest and most
intense singer-songwriters around. Opening is one of the South's most
accomplished multi-instrumentalists and a poignant singer-songwriter to
boot---Randall Bramblett. A RiverMusic after party, featuring The Sam
Holt Band and Jerry Joseph, takes place at the neighboring Grey Eagle.
The June 10 event offers beer from
Hi-Wire and Twin Leaf, Foodtrucks Taste & See, Out of the Blue, Appalachian
Chic, Ceci's Culiniary Tour and Mobile Global Bistro will be on hand, as will
ice cream from The Hop. There is free parking on both sides of the concert
site, and free admission, too. Every night features the sun setting over the
beautiful French Broad River.
The Prestige Subaru Stage for all
of these events will be powered by Sundance Solar again. There will be a Grey
Line trolley making a circuitous route between the concert venue and the
Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce (map).
Attendees can also paddle up to the river access RiverLink has installed, and
there are bike racks available onsite.
Dogs (except service dogs), outside
food and beverages are not allowed.
RiverLink is celebrating 30 years
as an environmental nonprofit working to revitalize the French Broad River and
her watershed as a place for everyone to live, learn, work and play.
Volunteers are vital for making
these events happen. Interested parties can sign up at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4caea82ba1f49-june2 or
