Downtown after Five tonight!

Hello weekend! Get your Friday afternoon on at Downtown After 5. This evening’s lineup features a bevy of local and national talent.

Downtown After 5 kicks off at 5:15 with local Brit-poppers The Cheeksters. At 6:20, peppy bluegrass act Brushfire Stankgrass takes the stage. And at 7:45 p.m, Aussie blues-rocker Geoff Achison heat things up with special guest Randall Bramblett.

From Bramblett’s Web site: While Bramblett may not be a household name, he is legendary within music circles for his songwriting and musicianship. He released a pair of acclaimed solo albums in the mid-‘70s, then joined the jazz-rock outfit Sea Level, becoming their principal songwriter and vocalist. From there, Bramblett embarked on a path as a big-league, musical utility man (primarily sax and keys) and landed on the speed dial of some of the greatest names in rock history: Traffic, Steve Winwood, Levon Helm and Bonnie Raitt.

Name one of ‘em and go to his show tonight for free! The Randall Bramblett Band plays at the Garage at Biltmore tonight at 10 p.m. $10. More info here.
