September 12,
2014 RiverMusic Concert Series Enjoy music by the river and a great
bluegrass evening featuring “Fruition” and “The Fireside Collective.”
. This is the final concert for the season of a Series of five Friday nights of
live concerts by the French Broad River in the River Arts District of Asheville,
NC. RiverLink has teamed up with Heira Productions to assemble a top-notch mix
of quality national acts and local favorites for this popular summer
event.
The food and beverage offerings are a match for the quality of the music including craft beer from two local breweries, Oskar Blues and Catawba. Oskar Blues will be pouring its Mama's Little Yellow Pils, Dale's
Pale Ale and Old Chubb Scotch Ale, while Catawba serves up Farmer Ted's
Cream Ale, White Zombie White Ale and Firewater IPA. The Food Trucks will be offering a variety of taste treats and perfect pairings for the brews.
Enjoy some great Middle Eastern food from Gypsy Queen, which
suggests pairing their chicken shawarma pita sandwich with a White
Zombie. Melt Your Heart recommends downing their Firebird sandwich (smoked
turkey, bacon, cheddar, chipotle mayo and tomatoes) with a Firwater
IPA. And Pho Ya Belly is whipping
up 5-spiced pulled pork sandwiches topped with pickled peaches which
they suggest you wash down with anything light and refreshing. Smash Box shows off its Nicaraguan cuisine with "The Box," -- a
scrumptious pile of red beans and rice decked out with a chimichurri
sauce, plantains, jalapeno crema, cotija cheese, cilantro-lime slaw and
your choice of proteins. They say this grand plate is best consumed with
an Old Chubb Scotch Ale or Farmer Ted's Cream Ale. The Lowdown will be
serving its pulled pork BBQ Sammie.
The gates open at 5 PM and the festivities continue until 10 PM. For your convenience,
Trolleys will be running with pick-ups and drop offs at three different parking facilities around
Asheville.
