Blue Ridge Fall Music Fest & Chili Feast
Asheville’s favorite performer, Kat Williams, will join Eddie Watkins, Jr. at the Fall Music Fest & Chili Feast hosted by Unity of the Blue Ridge.
The “feastival,” held at 2041 Old Fanning Bridge Road in Mills River takes place Friday, November 11, beginning at 6 p.m.
Eddie Watkins Jr., with his musical roots in Motown, has performed and recorded with popular artists such as Barbara Streisand, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Santana, Cher, Diana Ross, Pattie Labelle, The Pointer Sisters, Peter Frampton, and The Temptations. He is known for both his spellbinding voice and powerful delivery, whether following a funky Motown beat or in a quiet, meditative song.
Emmy-nominated Kat Williams satisfies a yearning for emotive truth and honesty that is rarely found in contemporary music. Kat moved to Asheville, NC, in 1997, and soon became the most sought-after singer in the region. Known and admired for her passion for song, her animated style, and her spirited sense of humor and remarkable warm laugh, Kat makes magic happen whenever, wherever she takes the stage.
Tickets are $20 for the Chili Feast and Music Fest, or $15 for the Music Fest only, which begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Unity of The Blue Ridge or at brownpapertickets.com. Proceeds will support a 2017 Spiritual Summit hosted by Unity of The Blue Ridge.
