One of Western North Carolina's best events returns Memorial Day Weekend with Asheville's favorite son, Warren Haynes, and his Gov't Mule.

Terence Higgins, internationally known as drummer for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, is as well versed in the churning New Orleans funk style as any man can be. Born and raised in NOLA, Higgins has performed with everyone from Widespread Panic to Dr. John to Norah Jones, and has even gained his own set of peers in other drummers such as Brian Blade, Russell Batiste Jr., and Stanton Moore. Higgins appears on dozens of albums, but with his first “solo” CD his own ideas have become a force to be reckoned with.
