Live Music w/ Ryan Furstenberg duo
@ Mudpuppies Sports Bar and Grill Arden
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.
