Don’t miss the 100th Anniversary Season of the Street Dance on Monday, July 16, featuring Walt Puckett as Caller, Bobby & Blue Ridge Tradition and Mountain Thunder Cloggers. The Street Dance has been a favorite tradition in Hendersonville, ever since the citizens took to the streets to welcome home the soldiers from WWI in 1918.
Bobby & Blue Ridge Tradition is a 5-piece bluegrass band based in Asheville, NC. They play crowd-favorites such as “Rocky Top,” “Salty Dog,” “Tennessee Waltz,” and “John Henry.” The band incorporates some great original songs in their shows. They’re not afraid to include crossover material from artists such as Hank Williams, Bob Dylan Chuck Berry, and many others into their well-defined, classic sound.
Mountain Thunder Cloggers is a recreational precision clogging team. They have performed at many regional fairs and festivals including Bele Chere, the North Carolina Mountain State Fair, Farm City Day, and the North Carolina Apple Festival.
