Some big happenings for the funky Toubab Krewe of Asheville. The guys will be playing Rothbury, and their “Live at the Orange Peel” record will drop April 7.
Asheville’s dance-frenzy inducing instrumental quintet Toubab Krewe have announced they will be playing the second annual Rothbury festival this summer, which runs July 2-5. The group is featured on a jaw-dropping bill that includesBob Dylan
, Broken Social Scene and King Sunny Ade, as well as The Dead’s only summer appearance and the String Cheese Incident’s onlyconcert in 2009. Already set to jam at Bonnaroo in June, Toubab Krewe continues to turn heads as they play some of this year’s most exciting summer concerts. Keep posted for the announcement of Toubab Krewe’s performance day and time; tickets go on sale Friday, March 20 at 12:00 PM Eastern exclusively through: http://www.rothburyfestival.com/tickets/
Toubab Krewe’s ‘Live at the Orange Peel’ (Upstream Records/ADA) is in stores 4/7.
Until then, you can catch Toubab Krewe playing their blend of surf /zydeco/ African music on their ‘Spring Tour’ through the Southeast with Asheville friends Jar-e. See below for the full Rothbury lineup, tour dates and more.
