Live Music w/ Ryan Furstenberg duo @ Mudpuppies Sports Bar and Grill Arden
Nov 8 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Some have said Ryan Furstenberg’s voice brings to mind a cool mountain stream, or tobacco leaves swept by the Eastern North Carolina breeze. With that rich and southern accented baritone, the accomplished guitarist, banjo player and convention-bucking songwriter can’t help showing his NC roots. Both as a solo act, and as half of The Moon and You – an indie folk duo based in Asheville, NC – Furstenberg is making a name for himself by never sounding quite like anyone else.

Sports, Music and trivia. Friends and rivals. At MUDPUPPIES, we bring so many different things to the table. But it’s the way we do it that makes them all just a little better. Great service, friendly fans, and a welcoming atmosphere turn games into get-togethers and competitors into comrades. mudpuppiesavl.com/
