More to come. Meantime, I’m awaiting more details about this year’s summer street party. Earlier this year, Asheville City Council came to an unofficial agreement that this year would be the last year the city would foot the bill for the event, which shuts downtown Asheville and offers up a boatload of free music.

    This may be the worst line up in the history of Bele Chere. Who do they have booking bands in Asheville. I think my grandmother could book better bands than this. It’s just pathetic!

    Randall Bramblett Band is exceptional.
    Maybe best on list.

    The official announcement was going to be today at noon. It had nothing to do with Jason’s earlier post. It looks to be a good farewell to Bele Chere. Haters will hate.

    This isn’t an early look. The festival is next month.

      early, in light of the fact that there are no bands listed on the Bele Chere website and the fact that there has not been an official announcement by the city.

        There has usually a Bele Chere poster unveiling party in May in the past…
        It does seem a bit late for the line-up announcement.

    FYI, Yacht Rock Revue is playing The Orange Peel the Friday night of Bele Chere. If you haven’t seen those guys yet, you should definitely check ’em out.
