Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Monday, March 9.
Folks, we start with some sobering news from the weekend that has our downtown community on alert. Early Sunday morning around 3:15 a.m., Asheville Police responded to the 100 block of North Lexington Avenue where multiple people suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Officers provided aid on scene until EMS rushed the victims to Mission Hospital. A person of interest has been identified, but details are limited as the investigation continues, with more updates expected today. This incident reminds us how vital it is to stay vigilant in our vibrant nightlife spots, supporting the ongoing push for safer streets that keep our tourism heartbeat strong without fear.
Shifting to brighter horizons, music lovers, your week is packed at the Orange Peel. Tonight, catch JLloyds mashup live at One World West, blending funk, jazz, and soul for an unforgettable groove. Tomorrow, Jordan Jensen kicks off her Bus-Ted Up Tour in a fully seated show, followed by synth legend Gary Numan with Tremours on Thursday. Friday brings Cat Power celebrating the 20th anniversary of her iconic Greatest album in full, and Saturday the high-energy Hives team up with the Chats for an all-ages bash, under 12s welcome with approval. Keep the momentum with Nolen Durham Sunday, Robert Earl Keen Thursday next week, and Old Crow Medicine Show rolling in soon, connecting us through the tunes that define our mountain spirit.
Sports fans, cheer on UNC Asheville womens tennis today as the Bulldogs, sitting at 6-4, head to Orlando for spring break matches, facing St. Thomas at 11 a.m. Their strong singles play, led by Sofia Segui and Angelina Hug, promises exciting action against quality foes all week. Meanwhile, echoes of the recent SoCon championships linger with Downtown Dribble bringing families together courtside.
Nature enthusiasts, note the Georges Branch Road fire near Candler holds at 100 acres and 65 percent contained, no threat to homes but a nudge to check air quality if youre hiking. And hundreds of climbers just wrapped the annual Rumble bouldering festival in nearby Lake Lure, inspiring our own outdoor adventures amid these Blue Ridge views.
Whether dodging urban edges or chasing live beats and court wins, Asheville pulses with resilience and fun today. Stay connected, stay safe.
