Walker Family Band COncert
May 4th, 7pm
Tickets $15 / Kids $10
​
For over two decades The Walker Family Band has delighted audiences throughout the Southeast with a distinctive take on traditional styles, performing Irish dance music and American old time music with a forward reaching attitude. We especially enjoy sharing original tunes, which grow naturally from these basic roots and from our thorough training and experience in classical music and jazz. Now living in the Asheville area, we are looking forward to performing for our new, and old friends here in these beautiful mountains! The Walker Family Band creates a confluence of sound with an end game plan; a fresh connection with each audience. True to Irish and American tradition, we share our experience and knowledge by conducting multi-instrumental workshops and by hosting an annual summer camp. The Walker Family Band Music Camp is attended by families and students from coast to coast.
