From the RiverMUSIC Facebook page:
In our continuing efforts to bring folks to the French Broad River to enjoy its splendor, RiverLink has teamed up with New Belgium Brewing Company and Heira Productions to offer the community great live music from a variety of genres and a blend of local and national artists.
There will be New Belgium beer, a variety of good eats provided by your favorite Asheville food trucks, and the waters of the beautiful French Broad flowing right by the stage.
Best of all, these events are free to the public! Bring your lawn chair and picnic basket and enjoy the view of the French Broad River at RiverMUSIC!
Free bluegrass by the French Broad in the heart of the River Arts District! Join us for a great night of music with Sanctum Sully and the stylings of Bobby Miller & The Virginia Daredevils.
