Hot Concerts in July
The Boomer Brothers Motown Band
Down home food, Motown, country music and dancing are all ingredients for a special evening at the White Horse Black Mountain on Sunday, July 12, 2015. A fried chicken soul food dinner at 6 p.m. will be followed by music and dancing to the Motown and country sounds of the Boomer Brothers Motown Band.
During the meal, clips of timeless performances by Motown artists will shown, many of whom were personal acquaintances of event co-promoter Don Garner, a Detroit native. The band is a combination of veteran Asheville and Motor City players who enjoy nothing more than getting an audience up and dancing to their classic revue style show.
Tickets, which include dinner, are $38 in advance, $42 at the door.
Virginia and the Slims
The Asheville swing band Virginia and the Slims have a reputation for keeping the joint jumping and the fun flowing. There’s no Virginia in the band, but there will be no shortage of danceable jump blues, jazz, swing when the band plays the White Horse Black Mountain on Friday, July 17, 2015 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10.
Virginia and the Slims’ members include Sean Anderson (guitar), James Kamp (saxophone, harmonica, vocals), Brian Gant (drums), Sid Heilbraun (bass, vocals), and the beautiful vocals of Rebecca O’Quinn. The band also promises a touch of funk and a little Carolina beach music for the shaggers.
