One of our favorite activities is attending live Bluegrass music events. We've heard about the Thursday night 'jam' at Zuma's Coffee House in Marshall, NC for a long time. As is usually the case, travel time in the mountains is twice or more longer than the actual distance would normally require since there are no direct routes.
However, we finally made the trek and had an enjoyable evening.
Zuma's is a small place....so get there early if you plan to come. Everyone appeared to know each other but were very welcoming of newcomers. The musicians played up front by the windows....and in the tiny space between where the tables began....energetic folks tapped their heels and swung their arms as they danced with great big smiles on their faces. So fun to watch...
Besides every kind of coffee/tea drink you can think of....their sandwiches are modestly priced and quite good.
Bobby Hicks is the headliner on these Thursday events. An iconic Bluegrass fiddler who still can play with the best of them.
Another charming part of these types of casual events is seeing the next generation get an opportunity to play before a live crowd.
So, if you are ever in Marshall, NC, stop in and enjoy Zuma's.
