Time: 9 pm

Admission: $10 advance | $12 day of show

Blues singer and guitarist T-Model Ford was born as James Lewis Carter Ford in 1924 in the small rural town of Forest, Mississippi. By age eleven T-Model was plowing a field behind a mule on his family's farm. Ford got a job at a local saw mill in his early teens. T-Model eventually secured an even better job as a truck driver for a bigger lumber company. Moreover, Ford was sentenced to a chain gang for ten years for murder. Luckily, he was released after serving only two years of his sentence. In addition, T-Model also worked at a logging camp. He has recorded four fabulously lowdown rough and dirty albums for Fat Possum Records: 'Pee-Wee Get My Gun,' 'You Better Keep Still,' 'She Ain't None of Your'n,' and 'Bad Man'.

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.
