Why I drove 3 hours to see The Bronzed Chorus

It wasn’t the typical show that you’d drive 3 hours from Asheville to see – a lot smaller turnout than say, The Flaming Lips’ two nights in Atlanta a few weeks ago, or maybe Phish’s upcoming stop in Charlotte – but it’s summer. Driving all over the place for music is inevitable. I wasn’t making the five-hour pilgrimage to Bonnaroo this year, so when I saw the Facebook invitation for three of my favorite North Carolina bands in Greensboro last Thursday, I said, “why not?”

This weekend on a shoestring
