Free Music in Downtown Asheville
August 12, 2008. There are only two more chances to catch Downtown After Five, the monthly event featuring free music and local food and beer. This Friday, Shannon Whitworth and the Jeff Sipe Band take the stage.
Shannon Whitworth plays soulful Americana/roots rock, a mix of bluegrass, country and blues. The Brevard resident doesn’t have just a sweet, sultry voice — she also plays guitar, banjo and ukelele.
Jeff Sipe once went by the name Apt. Q258 and played drums for a raucous bluegrass/cajun/rock mashup called Leftover Salmon. He also played in a jam band qaurtet with mad scientist and one-man-band Keller Williams. His latest band plays jazz.
Downtown After Five is from 5 to 9 p.m. this Friday at Lexington Avenue, near I-240 and Hiawassee Avenue. The event is free.
