The Tryon Gallery Trot returns this Saturday, Sept. 14 with art, music, carriage rides, entertainers, refreshments and more.

St. Luke’s Plaza construction is coming along nicely and the town is pleased to invite its first performers to christen the new entertainment space. Local bluegrass band Blue Haze will play.

Like the haze on the mountains after a spring rain, Blue Haze will wrap you in an emotional blanket of song. Jim Walker (mandolin/vocals), Phil Jenkins (banjo/vocals), Lance Smith (guitar/vocals) and Robert Wells (bass) deliver renditions of contemporary and traditional bluegrass that will bring images of mountain life to mind.

Three-part harmonies with mandolin and banjo leads will dance your mind through memories of love, family and mountain beauty.

Join Blue Haze and fellow art lovers trotting about town on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 5-8 p.m. Entertainment is provided by a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation’s Mary Kessler Fund.
