Special Event
Bright Star Touring Theater Buncombe County Libraries East Asheville Public Library Library Stage production

Join us for an entertaining musical revue of the history of Black Music! From the work songs of slavery (“Hoe Emma Hoe”) and the hymns of the Underground Railroad (“Follow the Drinking Gourd”) to the blues of Beale Street and the anthems of the Civil Rights Movement, music has always been an integral part of our nation’s past. Actors/singers from Bright Star Touring Theatre tell the stories behind these famous and forgotten hymns, worksongs and musical styles while sampling songs that spread across continents, genres and centuries. This show is free and for ages 8 and up.

Due to limited space, please call the East Asheville Library at 250-4738 to reserve your free ticket.
