PATIO SHOW- LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
\n3 NIGHT RUN: 5.25, 5.26, 5.27
\n5PM DOORS \/\/ 6PM SHOW<\/p>\n

WOODY WOOD & ABE REID (of The Blue Rags)
\nThe Blue Rags were a revivalist, ragtime boogie-woogie band from Asheville. Woody and Abe are going to reignite that magic fire!<\/p>\n

Aaron \u201cWoody\u201d Wood is an old soul as authentic as the foothills from which he emerged. When pressed on it, he calls his music \u201cCosmic Appalachian Soul.\u201d He is steeped in the old Delta blues and the folk music from these mountains while fearlessly leaning into rock, soul and funk. It\u2019s common to look around in the audience for his local shows and see lots of other musicians in the room just soaking in what Woody does. (from Where Y\u2019at?)<\/p>\n

Abe Reid is a North Carolina blues musician and one of the modern keepers of the Piedmont blues tradition. Reid won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, one of the most respected competitions in blues music.<\/p>\n
