On August 29, 2015, some of the best local and regional blues, blues-rock, and funky blues in the Asheville area will descend upon the banks of the Swannanoa River. Gates at noon, music starting around 2PM and running until 10PM, with the likes of The Lowdown, The Zuzu Welsh Band, Hurricane Bob, Andrew Scotchie & The River Rats, headliners The Stolen Hearts featuring Pam Taylor and Robert Johnson, Jr,  and others, all gracing the stage to deliver the goods. The show will end with a grand finale jam with as many players as we can humanly fit on the stage getting up to play together. 

The event location is:

2574 Highway 70, Swannanoa, NC
