Americana/indie-folk singer-songwriter Alan Edwards will perform at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Cataloochee Ranch in Maggie Valley. Edwards has been a singer-songwriter for over 30 years. His music holds an honesty and an authenticity not built on outward style but inner substance. He is joined by a backing band of some of the top players in the region, all with vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, and Buck Owens & Don Rich. Admission is $30 per person. For more information and/or to purchase tickets, visit cataloocheeranch.com/ranch-event.
