Ticket sales hot for Blues Traveler tonight at Bele Chere
ASHEVILLE [July 30, 2005] - Bele Chere’s big Saturday night concert starring Blues Traveler and the Derek Trucks Band is looking like a runaway hit.
As of 6 p.m., fewer than 2,500 tickets remained for the show at the Delta Air Lines Celebration Stage at the Renaissance Asheville parking lot out of 9,000 that were available, said Melissa Porter, festival coordinator.
I spent the weekend at Bele Chere and caught a lot of great music, including the Derek Trucks Band on Saturday night. Estimates put attendance for the DTB show between 7 and 10 thousand. Although Blues Traveler was the headliner, there were more than a few people leaving the area to check out other music once the DTB finished their set. It was a great show, with Susan Tedeschi appearing as a guest on several of the songs, and I look forward to featuring the show on an upcoming episode of Radio DTB.
