Vince Junior Band
9pm - $5 Entry
VINCE JUNIOR BAND - “Vince Junior Band makes music that we'd like to hear when we go out to wind down, dance, or throw a few back,” says guitarist and singer Vince Junior of Vince Junior Band. “I love that Muscle Shoals sound of bass, drums, Fender Rhodes, and a Fender guitar. Simple, soulful, and funky. We just try to make that sound our own” The Vince Junior Band has been together since 2013, playing around the Asheville area. “I think we have a unique blend of genres. You’ll hear the flavors of blues, funk, Louisiana, Reggae, and Soul, coupled with some unusual topics.”

Them Coulee Boys with Vaden Landers
8:00pm - $5
Them Coulee Boys, born in the back valleys of Western Wisconsin. Them Coulee Boys craft a brand of Americana that blends punk, bluegrass, and rock & roll. Somewhere underneath the energy, the exuberance, the wit, and the passion of Them Coulee Boys lies a heart. It's a heart filled with sincerity, honesty, and the will to make the world a better place. This heart is not only evident in every song, but also in Them Coulee Boys as a whole. These songs are meant for dancing, for excitement, but are also for thought, and for the quiet moments. Them Coulee Boys seek to balance the high with the low, the happy with the sad, and the love with pain. It's how we live our lives, and they make music that reflects that.
THEM COULEE BOYS - WEBSITE - FACEBOOK
Opening the show is Vaden Landers - a multi-instrumentalist from Tennessee. As a young man he began travelling America's highways and railroads, studying American folk music styles like Country, Blues, Cajun, and Jazz.
