Hello Readers! We’re back again for another jam-filled digest of the grooviest live concerts around. This week February draws to a close, and we move one step closer to Spring as we boogie on into March. No plans? No Problem! Here is what’s up this week.
Disc jockey legend Mark Farina will be spinning some vinyl at the Asheville Music Hall in Asheville, NC this Saturday, March 2nd. Farina is known for several types of music such as Chicago house, acid jazz, and downtempo, though his Mushroom Jazz series (eight albums total) seems to be his most widely appreciated work. If you like chill tunes and good vibes, this will be your happy place. Grab your tickets before they are sold out and don’t miss out on this opportunity!
