Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy live music at White Horse Black Mountain last week.
Black Mountain has a long history of great live music going back to the days of the original Grey Eagle , McDibbs, and other places where top quality music is presented in a comfortable, friendly listening environment. We are happy to be part of that continuing heritage here in Black Mountain and hope you'll continue to support this tradition.
Last weekend was a typical eclectic mix of great live music at the White Horse and we are thrilled to have seen so many new and old friends out having a great time. The jazz concert by San Francisco’s Charles Unger Experience was without a doubt one of the best live jazz shows in Western NC this year. It was great to see so many folks up dancing. Obviously our audiences love Jazz and we hope to have more great jazz at the White Horse in the future. The Business returned to White Horse Saturday with great dance music from the 60s and 70s …..we LOVE this band and are so glad that you do too. Motown and Stax are still alive and well in our hearts (and feet). The “Divas and Drafts” on Sunday was great music of a different sort….classical and show tunes.
This weekend we’re bringing in some new bands to the Black Mountain area which you may not have heard before. We’re excited about these shows and hope you’ll come explore some old songs from new sources. On Friday night, Southern Silk Duo will blend R&B standards with jazz and we think you’re gonna love ‘em. Our own Parker Brooks will open the show. On Saturday night, we’re featuring The Nanz Brothers from Montreat with a blend of strong vocal harmonies and great instrumental work and you’re gonna recognize some old favorites. Speaking of old favorites, White Horse co-owner Bob Hinkle will be returning to the stage to open the evening.
We are so grateful for the great feedback we receive from our audiences and we listen. We want to know what bands you like and what type of music you like to hear. We’ll continue to do our best to bring in a variety of music that you want to hear and in return we need you to do your part.
