Weaverville – The Weaverville Business Association brings Dangermuffin and Datrian Johnson & The Jamie Hendrickson Quartet, to Main Street on Saturday, June 10, 2023, for the fifth annual Music on Main event.
The Weaverville Business Association is hosting the event, said a press release from the association. Music on Main takes place on Saturday from 4 pm to 9 pm and is free and open to the public.
Main Street will be closed to traffic between Brown Street and Merrimon Ave., with the music stage located in front of Weaverville Town Hall at 30 S. Main Street. Free parking is available at Weaverville Primary School.
In addition to music, local restaurants, bars, and breweries along Main Street will be serving food and drink. A food court will take over the parking lot of the Prescription Pad, serving favorites from Twisted Laurel, The Shoppe, and the soon-to-open Salt-Face Mule.
The Weaverville Business Association will have a beer and wine tent on Main Street, as well as a canned beverage outpost adjacent to Maggie B’s. The Kids Activity Zone (sponsored by Eliada) returns again this year and will provide activities such as bubbles, hula hooping, and face painting. While you are on Main Street, also be sure to check out the variety of vendor booths.
Headlining the festival this year is Dangermuffin. From Folly Beach, Dangermuffin is an eclectic quartet whose musical styles include Americana, folk, and jam music that’s organic and cool. The band’s live show swims between tasty acoustic and rockin’ electric sounds. The group was founded in 2007 and has been touring throughout the United States since.
Also joining us will be Datrian Johnson & The Jamie Hendrickson Quartet. Datrian Johnson is a force, and the immediate chemistry with songwriter/music director/guitarist Jamie Hendrickson is clear. The group is a portion of the Fritz and will get folks moving.
The Opening Act will be the group My New Favorites, this year’s Song contest winners. My New Favorites will take the stage with their Appalachian and honky-tonk roots, showcasing originals (including their very own song about Weaverville) and covers. “If you’re into Appalachian music but think an Allman Brothers song on the banjo is cool, we’re probably the band for you,” according to Westley Harris, the group’s fiddler.
