Ned Lucas Band

Friday July 18th

Ned Lucas Band is a 3-piece, high-energy unit that plays original blues and rock’n’roll. With 3 critically acclaimed CD’s that have received airplay worldwide this band knows how to please a crowd. Ned Lucas is a true triple threat. Not only is he a smokin’ guitar-slinger and a monster on the Hammond B3, he also writes all the original songs his band performs like “Mica Moon” that has received airplay in numerous markets across the US. For covers, the band chooses songs that reflect the influences of great artists like Joe Cocker and The Beatles. Playing a Fender Stratocaster, the workhorse of the electric blues, through an old tweed tube amp and a LED lighted Leslie cabinet, the sound is instantly recognizable. This band brings a full-size Hammond organ to every show. The rhythm section for the band includes Sam Savoca on drums and George Fiori on bass. These guys are pros and have been together for over 8 years, 4 with The Ned Lucas Band. Sam's drumming is best described as hard-hitting, precise, and deep in the pocket. George is a solid bassist with experience in numerous genres and confidently secures the foundation of this trio.

Fairlight and The Magick event photo

Fairlight and The Magick

Friday August 1st

The origin story of Fairlight and the Magick is pretty mundane and hardly uncommon. The band came together through connections made through informal jams, broken-up bands and a Craigslist ad. The pieces started coming together in the aftermath of Helene. The members of the band came from all directions; New Jersey, Colorado, Florida and Charlotte to make WNC their home. Once the band members were all in the same room, the power and soulfulness of Fairlight De Torres' voice was astonishing. The mission of the band was clear—to develop a sound and style to fit Fairlight’s amazing skill. The first thing that became apparent was the rhythm section of Jeff Rubin on drums and Walter Anderson on bass can bring a high level of skill, feeling, and groove to whatever they play. Whether the song is a slow blues, driving rock, funky or soulful…there is ALWAYS deep pocket there. The first few steps of the band were tentative. However, after a few practices, something magical happened…well, OK… Magick happened. The band found its footing and David Harris started turning up the guitar amp loud enough to let the guitar really sing. The result is a musical stew of funky soul and psychedelia that is rooted in the blues and is always played with a lot of feeling. This band means it! Bluesy psychedelic soul!
