January 20, 5 Pm - 8 PM at The Grove Arcade, 1 Page Avenue in downtown Asheville NC - Live at the Arcade begins this Friday with The funk ensemble Motownblue. Live at the Grove Arcade, a new series featuring free local music, will take place the third Friday of January, February and March. Motownblue will perform this Friday.
William Stafford, the Grove Arcade’s “Singing Security Guard,” will belt out Motown hits and blues classics. His performing career was restarted with an April 2009 performance at the Arcade, Stafford’s first public performance in decades. Shoppers and merchants at the Grove Arcade know Stafford as one of the security guards at the historic downtown building, but when he takes the stage they see a completely different side. Motownblue performs tunes by hit-makers such as Stevie Wonder, BB King, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and more.
The Grove Arcade Merchants Association sponsors the Live at the Grove Arcade evenings of music, food and drinks. Beer and wine are available for purchase and attendees get free popcorn with each drink purchase.
