This is good to hear. Kidd brewer would be an ideal location for bigger venues due to location in Western NC as it could draw from multiple states.

Auburn Jordan Hare is hosting Music and Miracles this year with Blake Shelton and Thomas Rhett. Also featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kelsea Zballerini etc
I would love to see App and Kidd Brewer be used like this during late spring early fall.

Nice of ASU to offer events for both current students (Lil Wayne) and older students (ELP Legacy) that promote smoking weed. Fair and equal.

There are 2 versions of Yes touring. The one coming to Boone has one original member. All of them have been in the band over the years and have done good work. The other is touring under the name ARW or ASW. This one features the original lead singer Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman who is not original but was with Yes during the early 70's during the Fragile album period. Either would be a good concert. Like some other bands from this era they have their differences and refuse to play together.

I know Chris Squire passed away, but Steve Howe will not be in this concert? If not that's too bad. The younger folks will miss a great guitarist that never had single lesson. Glad to hear that Wakeman will be there. Not too shabby after a few heart attacks.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

I hate to say it, but KBS is actually a terrible location for a concert. We saw Dierks Bentley there about 5 years ago and the echo reverberating off the athletic facility was horrible. Very difficult to hear and understand the words.
