May 27 – Sunset Concert:The Harris Brothers

AmyMorrison — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:31:07 +0000

Join the Beech Alpen Inn for their first Summer Sunset Concert of the Season. Music will begin at 5pm, and all are welcome. Enjoy your favorite beverage while listening to a local favorite, the Harris Brothers.

The Harris Brothers are what you might call songsters. They can draw from a vast repertoire of American traditional music – “Americana” is often used to describe their style, but the Harris Brothers just call it music. Their sound is heavily influenced by traditional blues and Appalachian mountain music, jazz, country, and rock n’ roll. No matter what the Harris Brothers play, be it originals or old favorites, they have a special way of making the music their own; it’s stripped down, intense, and real, with no gimmicks.

For more information, please call 828-387-2252.
