The Buckerettes

UNC Asheville's Concerts on the Quad 2008 summer music series will wrap up at 7 p.m. Monday, July 14, with a performance by the Buckerettes. The event is free and open to the public.

The Buckerettes is a three piece acoustic band of "free-ranging trail-blazin' hometown cowgirls." The group plays swing-jazz, country, bluegrass, old time, blues, golden rock n' roll and even a little "MooTown." Members include Asheville City Councilwoman Robin Cape on bass and vocals, Deb Criss on guitar and vocals, and Roberta Greenspan on fiddle and vocals.

Concerts on the Quad is fun for the entire family. The public is invited to bring picnics, blankets and lawn chairs. Sorry, no pets, skateboards, bicycles or roller skates are allowed on the Quad during the concert. With more than 2,000 people attending each performance, lawn-chair seating will be separate from blanket seating in order to preserve sight lines; please look for signage when arriving on the Quad. Check the Café a la Quad tent for snacks and beverages from 6 to 8 p.m.

In case of rain, the concert will be held in Lipinsky Auditorium. A limited menu may be served on rainy evenings. Concert location decisions are made at 5 p.m. the day of the show. Patrons may call 828/232-5000 line 3 after 5:15 p.m. the day of the show to hear a recorded announcement about the location of that evening's performance.
