Blue Ridge Bal (Asheville's summer balboa dance event) will keep going with an after-party featuring one of your favorite dance bands: The Low-Down Sires! This takes place in cool & funky West Asheville venue The Mothlight, which has fab dance floors, an excellent bar and a really good vibe. $8 in advance, $10 at the door (includes beginner lesson). Reserve your ticket at: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1475744?utm_medium=bks There is a 7 pm beginner lesson taught by Melissa Burdeos & Franklin Smith, followed by dancing til midnight! The Low-Down Sires have been busy reviving rare early 20th century jazz classics for the past five years, and are known and respected widely as true jazz traditionalists. Consistently hailed as one of the most popular dance bands in the region, the Sires have had the pleasure of performing at events all over the eastern US, in addition to their regular circuit of local swing dances, club appearances, and private parties. Dedicated to the lost sounds of the earliest roots of jazz, and inspired by the compositions and arrangements of King Oliver, Kid Ory, Jelly Roll Morton and other giants from the storied origins of the art form, their authentic sound transports listeners to the streets of Old New Orleans and the barrelhouses of early 20th century Mississippi river towns. Their hot swingin' style is a surefire hit with audiences everywhere, from concert halls, bars and back-porches, to swing dances and street corners. Stick around til the next morning and unwind while tubing down the French Broad River with us on Monday, July 3!
