UNCA's 18th Annual Concerts on the Quad Continues July 10 
with Billy Jonas

Back by popular demand, Billy Jonas will delight audience members of all ages with his "junkadelic folk music" at UNCA’s 18th annual Concerts on the Quad outdoor entertainment series at 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. July 10. The concert is free and open to the public.

Asheville’s own Billy Jonas, a talented songsmith and multi-instrumentalist, will offer an evening of songs, stories and improvisations with voice, guitar and "industrial re-percussion," a collection of instruments made from found and recycled objects. His carefully crafted songs, adventurous guitar work, clean tenor voice and original instruments have garnered high praise from acoustic music leaders and journals. Jonas will share his unique style of music at a 6:30 p.m. children’s show with an emphasis on audience participation. The 7:45 p.m. show will feature a different set and is suited for the entire family.

The public is invited to bring picnics, blankets and lawn chairs. With between 500 and 2,000 people attending each concert, lawn-chair seating will be separate from blanket seating in order to preserve sight lines; please look for signage when arriving on the quad. The rain location is Lipinsky Auditorium, located on the quad.

The series finale will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, July 17.
