Your Rx: MORE BACON! Dr. Bacon Presents The Smokedown!

Say, you look kinda pale. Looks like you had some of that Florence going around. Let the Dr. write you a prescription: MORE BACON!

Asheville’s Dr. Bacon, who put Appalachian and funk rock together, have the cure for what ails you this weekend in Snow Camp NC at Little Creek Vineyard & Music with The Smokedown! They’ve invited lots of their friends to join them, and they want YOU to feel better — much better — with a triple helping of Bacon — and lots more.

Importantly, they will also be collecting items for those displaced and those affected by Hurricane Florence and the catastrophic flooding it engendered. A partial list of items sought is below.

FRIDAY

Some of the Dr.’s best running buddies are on tap for day one of the Smokedown, including Psylo Joe, Mac and Juice, The Company Stores, and Barefoot Wade. Add to those Custard Pie from Valdosta, Kusa, JuJu Guru, and The Nitrogen Tone, and you’ve got a great way to celebrate! And look for late-night sets from Free Range Strange!

This will be another glorious day of music, with Travers Brothership, Freeway Revival, Arson Daily, Metaphonia, Dūk Tan, Ghost Eagle, Melissa Reaves, and Andy Lyle Hall.

You’ve worked very hard the past two days. Relax on Sunday, as your hosts play one more time, along with The Oblations and IPM.
