Downtown Asheville Scores Again!
The Orange Peel has done it again. The Asheville Citizen-Times is reporting the popular venue will host David Byrne, former lead singer of The Talking Heads, on Sept. 21. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Asheville is by far the smallest market on the tour schedule. Of course, our town attracts many concert-goers from out of town. The Orange Peel has also become a major draw, earning mention in Rolling Stone magazine as one of the Top Ten music venues in the country.
Byrne will be playing songs off his new album with Brian Eno, the ambient-music pioneer who produced landmark albums such as The Talking Heads’ “Remain in Light” and U2’s “Joshua Tree.” Eno is not schedule to appear at the show, however.
Byrne will also play songs from his former band, as well as tunes from his long solo career.
