They say all good things must come to an end. After 25 years, one of the most raucous, fun and entertaining acts around is marking their anniversary with one final album ('Having The Last Word') and a farewell tour. Sometimes bawdy but always funny, Saffire mix true-to-life lyrics with great music to create an act recognized worldwide. Founded by Ann Rabson and Gaye Adegbalola, and rounded out by Andra Faye, this highly entertaining trio is one of the most popular, witty, and just plain satisfying acoustic blues groups on the scene today. Don't miss this great act for what will be their conclusive performance in Asheville.

Some folks have been known to have a little trouble finding the Gray Eagle for the first time as it's not located in a pedestrian-heavy area. Once they locate it between Future Traditions warehouse and the Silver Dollar cafe though, they'll see that it's really not that far from all the downtown action and stands guard over Asheville's River Arts District. Quaint and cozy, the Gray Eagle seems to be a modified house-turned-listening room. The Eagle has always been known for it's crystal clear sound, bluegrass, zydeco, and contra dancing. Recently, they have been making a name for themselves on the indie rock circuit, with Harvest Records presenting a series of concerts there. You can go hungry to the Gray Eagle because it hosts the Twin Cousins Kitchen, serving up authentic Cajun cuisine. The Gray Eagle has a capacity of just over 600 people and is NON-SMOKING. All ages are welcome, beer and wine is served.
