“Rhythm and Brews supports Downtown Hendersonville well beyond creating a fun concert. Funds raised by the Friends of Downtown and Rhythm and Brews have provided facade and building improvement grants, business support and overall marketing for downtown," Hendersonville Downtown Manager Jamie Carpenter said. "Sponsors like Horizon Heating and Air and the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority not only help make the event happen but help us support our downtown businesses year after year in making Hendersonville a destination.”
The series features a variety of established acts as well as up-and-coming artists from around the region. Opening acts will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by the headlining performance from 7:30-9:30 p.m.
“This concert series is not just about music and drinks — it’s about bringing our community together. It’s a great opportunity for people to unwind, enjoy great music and support local businesses,” said Terrye Jacobs, Hendersonville's Downtown event coordinator.
