Thank you @johnanderson
John played at what is now @slopeside_tavern back in the late 90s/early 2000’s we can’t remember the exact year. But it was an incredible show. Anyone else there?

There are still days left to paddle the Upper French Broad, and it’s showing off out there right now! 🍂
Warm, sunny days and fall colors make for three hours you don’t want to miss!
Our self-guided paddles go out 7 days a week, at least through October.
🍁 Our Guided Colors of the Fall trip is a great Saturday morning activity!
Book both here: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/headwatersoutfitters/?full-items=yes&flow=262974
Please note: because of blockages on the lower section, our fall brewery paddles are done for the season. Thanks for understanding, and we’ll see you on the upper river!
