Chase Away the Blues will return, bigger and better than ever, at Tryon Fine Arts Center on Saturday, Feb. 2, TFAC representatives said.

The eighth annual concert will feature top blues artists in multiple venues for non-stop music and dancing all night long. New York City-based blues quintet Brandi & the Alexanders headline the night with a sound that is slick, big and instantly classic, representatives said.

The Jamie Wright Experience Band, Jim Peterman and Friends, and the Mill Billy Three round out the line-up of blues, soul and rock ‘n roll.

New for 2019, Chase Away the Blues features an expanded patrons lounge. TFAC will turn an entire floor into a private blues club, with complimentary beverages, heavy hors d’oeuvres and exclusive musical guests throughout the evening.

Chase Away the Blues is one of TFAC’s largest fundraisers, with proceeds supporting affordable fine arts experiences for the Foothills community.

A full line up of bands and ticket information is available at tryonarts.org or by calling 828-859-8322.
