Please join us this Nov as we bring in the talented Abby the Spoon Lady & Chris Rodrigues. These 2 Asheville artists bring a unique flair that you are sure to enjoy. Adding to the theme of the evening Casey Noel, an up and comer from Greensboro will bring excitement and captivating music of her own.      Abby the Spoon Lady is one of very few professional spoon players in the United States, and has been a professional street performer for over a decade. Abby studied American folk percussion, music, and folklore while traveling the United States by foot and rail. Now an internationally known street performer, she plays with some of Asheville’s finest local and visiting performers at festivals, within venues, and right on the sidewalk. Along with finding her within various horror and short films, you can watch interviews with Abby in such documentaries as Nashville 2012, and also Buskin’ Blues, about the world-class street performing scene in Asheville, NC. She is currently President of the Asheville Buskers Collective. https://www.facebook.com/AbbyTheSpoonLady/     Chris Rodrigues is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and busker from Asheville North Carolina. He has played across the country in several bands throughout his early teens until the age of 23, when he started busking. Chris is a traveling musician playing indoor venues, festivals, churches and busking in the street. He plays the resophonic guitar, blows the harmonica, stomps on a suitcase with his right foot, taps on a license plate with his left foot and sings his takes on traditional songs as well as his own written material witch can be heard on several prime time television shows. He hopes to take traditional songs of american heritage and play them in his own new way in hopes of keeping alive these songs that have been played for years. https://www.facebook.com/ChrisRodmusic/     Joining us this evening to open for Abby & Chris will be Greensboro's own Casey Noel. She is guaranteed to win you over as a new fan if you haven't had the pleasure to hear her live.     Casey Noel is a singer/songwriter in the NC Triad area. She is currently a senior at UNCG, and has been playing guitar since the age of five. Casey Noel brings a blend of folk, Americana, country, and blues to her unique rasp and powerful sound. She possesses a pure vocal quality that is both distinct and mesmerizing.
