The doors open at 6 p.m. and light fare will be available on the patio prior to the concert. Reservations can be made by calling the Purple Onion at 828-749-1179.
Mollie O’Brien has built a loyal national and international following with both her solo career and her collaborations with brother Tim O’Brien.
Rich Moore is well known and well loved in Colorado’s acoustic music family and has lived and performed there for over 25 years. He is guitarist of choice for folk legend Tom Paxton, who invariably requests Moore as a sideman for his Colorado shows.
Moore and O’Brien live in Colorado and have been partners in marriage for more than 24 years and professional musicians for longer than that. O’Brien and Moore began touring as a performing duo in 2007. Their latest album, “Saints and Sinners,” is a blend of music from George Harrison to Rodgers and Hart with their own unique arrangements and Mollie’s voice.
