The Hackensaw Boys headline RiverLink’s RiverMusic – July 10
June 30, 2015
RiverLink’s RiverMusic brings the cool sounds again Friday, July 10 in the River Arts District
. RiverLink. Gates at the RiverLink Sculpture and Performance Plaza (144 Riverside Drive in the River Arts District) open at 5. The music starts at 5:30 with Grits & Soul, continues with the Jon Stickley Trio at 6:45 and our headliners, The Hackensaw Boys, at 8:15.
On the Prestige Subaru stage, it’s a night of progressive bluegrass. Former Washington Post music critic Joe Sasfy says of the evening, “July 10 sees long-time Asheville favorites, the Hackensaw Boys, bring their kicked up brand of bluegrass to the stage. By stretching their sound from old timey to punky, the Boy’s acoustic mashup invites you to shuffle, stomp, clog and even pogo. They can wear you out so pace yourself. Opening are two Asheville bands that also play around with bluegrass tradition — the bluesy Grits and Soul and the virtuosic Jon Stickley Trio.”
