When a new business starts up in these tough economic times folks mainly just hold their breath. "I’ll give it 2-3 months," they might mutter over coffee at the local diner. When local home contractor Jay Lichty shifted from high-end home building to high-end acoustic guitar building, it’s hard to say just what people thought. Now, one year into the new endeavor, Lichty is building a national reputation for his one-of-a-kind guitars and ukuleles and it’s time to celebrate! Featured Musicians: ▪ Dale Rucker – Acoustic Fusion - You’ll hear the influences of Michael Hedges and William Ackerman in Dale’s expressive and beautiful pieces. ▪ Doug Dacey – Doug is well known in the Tryon area for his incredible voice, guitar playing and songwriting with such bands at The Lone Derangers and The Trophy Husbands. Here is a unique opportunity to hear Doug solo. ▪ Jay Goree – As a founding member of the ever popular Carburators, Jay is skilled on many instruments, including guitar, keyboard and accordion. He is known as an entertainer extraordinaire! ▪ Jay Lichty – Jay has been a part of the local music scene for many years as a member of The Lone Derangers, The Jay Lichty Band, Cat’s Eye Blue and others. Building guitars and ukuleles means he gets to play the best of the best and he’ll be playing both guitar and ukulele at the show. The setting: The historic Ward’s Grill in Saluda, NC The date: October 29th / dinner is served at 6:00 and music starts at 7:00 Tickets: $20 per person covers a delicious Cajun/Creole meal and great entertainment Reservations are required: Call Judy Ward at 828-749-2321 or Frank Beeson at 828- 749-9254.
