RiverLink's RiverMusic brings a night of bluegrass to the Prestige Subaru stage with local favorties Buncombe Turnpike and Tellico opening for Love Canon on Sept. 9. The event will move just up the French Broad River to Asheville's Carrier Park, located at 220 Amboy Road in West Asheville (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.
Opener Buncombe Turnpike plays a variety of heartfelt tunes
ranging from traditional and contemporary bluegrass to gospel and hand crafted
originals. The band has made a name for themselves among traditional and
contemporary listeners alike.
Firmly planted in Asheville's
thriving roots music scene, Tellico is well schooled in bluegrass but with an unbridled
organic "Appalachiacana" sound, combining some of the finest voices,
songs and instrumental prowess in Western North Carolina and beyond.
Love Canon is what you get when you cross
conservatory-trained musicians with raucous bluegrass and the mega-hits of the
80s. Led by guitarist Jesse Harper and banjo wiz Adam Larrabee, Love Canon is a
virtuoso group of string musicians who become one on stage -- a super 80's
bluegrass hits machine.
Beer vendors for the night will be
Twin Leaf and Wicked Weed, and Urban Orchard will bring the cider. Foodtrucks
Chef Daddy, Grateful Roots, Belly Up, Melt Your Heart, and Ceci's Culiniary
will be on hand, as will ice cream from Sunshine Sammies. The event is free, as
is watching the sun set 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 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-september2 or
