On Saturday, Feb. 2, leave your troubles behind and head up to “Club TFAC” for a night of nonstop blues from 5-11 p.m.

Tryon Fine Arts Center is bringing together players living in the area with a following from coast to coast to play nonstop music in the lobby, in the Mahler Room, and on the main stage at TFAC.

This unusual evening of blues music in multiple venues within the building will support programming and operations of Tryon Fine Arts Center.  Doors open at 5 p.m. with music in the lobby and Mahler Room. Concerts on the Main Stage start at 5:30 p.m. and will end around 11 p.m. Each Main Stage entertainer will play for approximately 45 minutes. The musicians will mix it up at the end of the evening during the “jam.”

In between each set on the main stage, boogie woogie piano will play in the lobby and a variety of artists will continue the beat in the Mahler room.

Among scheduled performers are Daryle Ryce and the Shane Pruitt Band from Spartanburg, S.C. and Rudy Blue Shoes Wyatt from Greenville, S.C. via San Francisco. New this year from Greenville is headliner Mac Arnold and Plate Full O’Blues.  Chuck Beattie, AKA “Dr. Blues,” will bring his Chicago sound down the mountain from Asheville. Rounding out the wide range of blues, soul, jazz and funk are local musicians Tommy Lytle and the Jim Peterman Quartet.
