Big Thursday. (4-26)

Thursday is a big night for anyone in the more western part of the state! Thursday night has shows in Greensboro, Boone and Asheville.

Greensboro: Head on out to The Blind Tiger for Perpetual Groove! Last Thursday they were up in Boone, and by all accounts put on a great show, so make sure you get out and see them while they are still in the Old North State. Tickets are $15 at the door. Show starts at 10pm.

Asheville: Well, there was a post about it earlier, but Trampled By Turtles will be bringing their talent to the Orange Peel. Head out and get your bluegrass groove on in the NC mountains! Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door. Show starts at 9pm- doors at 8pm.

Boone: You have two great options if you're in Boone. Legends is having the New River Boys with special guest, Jim Avett. That name may sound familiar to you, Jim Avett is in fact the father of Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers. This show will be a great time for anyone looking for some Americana/Bluegrass music. Jim brings a soulful twang to good-old traditional country music that never disappoints. Tickets are $4 in advance and $6 at the door. Show starts around 10pm or so. Get out and support Jim Avett and the New River Boys.
If you happen to be looking for something a bit more up-beat, head down to Boone Saloon for the Native Sway. If "jam" music is your bag come out and get your groove on at the Saloon. The Native Sway always puts on a good show! They haven't played in town in a while though, so get there early. Electric Soul Pandemic will be kicking things off. Cover is $5 and show starts around $10.

Get out and start the weekend off right!
