At today’s meeting of our board of directors, after lengthy discussion, a decision was reached to postpone the August 20 event due to rising Covid-19 numbers in our area. It is our hope that the community’s trends will improve and an alternate date for the August event in the fall can be found. For now, we are continuing to plan for the Sept. 17 event.

Public health and medical professionals strongly recommended an implementation of masks/face coverings and distancing at the event.  Ultimately, it was determined that we didn’t have the necessary resources to adequately enforce these types of measures. We will consult with event organizers and resource providers in hopes of learning about best practices for safely hosting future events.

This decision was not made lightly, but with the best interests of our community in mind.

Abby Bryant & The Echoes

Built around a powerful voice and hard-driving rock ‘n’ soul rhythm section, Asheville, NC’s Abby Bryant & The Echoes has secured a fast-growing foothold in the Southeast music scene. Listeners will find it hard not to hear similarities to some of the artists that inspire the two including currently touring acts Tedeschi Trucks Band, Grace Potter and Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds.

Picante!

Picante performs original and uniquely arranged Latin rhythms, Latin jazz, rock, reggae and popular music, perfect for getting a crowd dancing.

Westsound

Playing a mix of beloved favorites from Tina Turner, Prince, Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin, Westsound delivers on a fun and danceable performance.
