Americana/bluegrass ensemble Buncombe Turnpike will perform at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 27, at the Cowee School Arts & Heritage Center in Franklin.

With its crowd-pleasing demeanor, seasoned musicianship and powerful vocals, the band has made a name for themselves among traditional and contemporary listeners alike in Western North Carolina and greater Southern Appalachia.

Tickets are $20 adults, $10 ages 6-16. Free for ages 6 and under. For more information and/or to purchase tickets, call 828.369.4080 or go to coweeschool.org/music.
