The 4th Annual Mountain Music Family Circus rolls into Asheville, NC at the Grey Eagle Music Hall on Dec 31. There is no better way to ring in the New Year than the tremendous performers on the bill for this New Year’s Eve show.

This year, alongside the Acoustic Alchemist Ring Leader, Larry Keel, and his mischievous band, Natural Bridge, the show will feature percussionist, Jeff Sipe and his band, the Jeff Sipe Trio, Steve “Big Daddy” McMurry heading up Big Daddy & Friends. Also on the bill is Roanoke, VA’s up-and-coming, The Harwell Grice Band.

As a special treat, the ringleader will also present The Keel Brothers who will perform their presentation of authentic Appalachian mountain music. The Keel Brothers feature Larry Keel, Larry’s older brother Gary Keel, and Mrs. Jenny Keel.

The Mountain Music Family Circus will kick off at 8pm on Dec. 31, and Tickets for this nonstop extravaganza are $30. Tickets are on sale now at www.thegreyeagle.com. Advance tickets are recommended as this show will sell out early!

As a part of our Good Tidings Food Drive, we ask that each person attending please bring a 2 can food donation for the Asheville Manna Food Bank.

Every year the Mountain Music Family Circus has a Canned Food Drive to help spread holiday blessings to those in need. This year, we are teaming up with Panic Fans For Food to help the hungry with food donations that will go to the Asheville Manna Food Bank. Panic Fans For Food is an Asheville based non-profit organization, that raises awareness of the domestic hunger issue and generates food donations across the country with food drives at Widespread Panic concerts. In the fall of 2007, this incredible organization began ongoing food drives at music venues in Asheville, and we are happy to assist them at our Annual New Years Extravaganza at the Grey Eagle.
