musical wish list

If I didn't have to work tonight, I'd head up to Asheville to hear Firecracker Jazz Band at Jack of the Wood. I just caught them last week at Purple Onion in Saluda, and I can't get enough of their high energy enthusiasm and musical virtuosity.

Tomorrow I'm planning on braving the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival to hear some great music by Menage, The Belleville Outfit, Gigi Dover & the Big Love, and Hobex. Then next Wednesday the 13th is Asylum Street Spankers featuring their fun new album for kids "Mommy Says No!" at the Grey Eagle in Asheville.

To top it all off, I'm hosting a Talent Night at the Historic Melrose Inn here in Tryon for all the local artists to come together to eat food cheap, drink cheap, and share what we all do best. We always welcome new faces, maybe I'll see yours there. ~w
