Ol' Hoopty
From the band's website: "We
call it Organ-ic Rock 'n
Soul, but it's really just a
big, spicy gumbo of all the
things we all grew up
listening to. We like to
take our time and keep that
groove cooking, inspired as
we are by people like Jimmy
Smith, Booker T. and the
MG's and the Muscle Shoals
crew."
Tuesday, August 10 at 6 p.m.
The Groovemont Players
This collection of Swannanoa
Valley players represents
a "who's who" of regional
talent, coordinated by Steve
Moseley and performing a mix
of rock, soul, blues and
beyond!
