COMING WEDNESDAY | Killer Queen – A Tribute to Queen @ Salvage Station
Jul 1 all-day

Killer Queen is coming to the Outdoor Stage at Salvage Station on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024! Doors open at 7PM and the music starts at 8:00PM. This is a LARGE EVENT, so please read our FAQs to learn more about parking options and our shuttle service. $35 ADV / $40 DOS Event Details and Tickets

THIS IS A SHOW FREDDIE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF!!!
When a tribute band sell out the same arenas their subjects did, you know they’re onto something, and that is just the case with Killer Queen, a bunch of British superfans who’ve made celebrating their idols into an art form.
Led by charismatic Freddie Mercury-look-and-soundalike Patrick Meyers, what started as a one-night thing has now spanned over 25 years and been welcomed the world over due to smashing attention to detail, energetic performances and of course, the most brilliant back catalog to draw upon. With Freddie’s trademark charm, Brian May’s incredible curls and much much more, don’t miss the band many say is the closest they’ve ever seen to the real thing!

From hosting nationally-touring headliners to up-and-coming acts on indoor and outdoor stages, Salvage Station is consistently voted Asheville’s BEST live music venue. For those looking for an authentic Asheville experience that includes incredible live music, an extensive local & regional tap selection, plus a full bar and award winning food trucks, Salvage Station is a MUST DO!

Asheville based BrassFunkRock band Empire Strikes Brass has a lot to say with a big sound.  Chock-full of serious groove from a thumping rhythm section highlighted by lush horn arrangements played by a thick horn section,  the band’s compositional roots as well as it’s creative and collaborative soul contribute  lots of depth in their original tunes and covers that speak volumes to ESB’s evolution.

Founded in 2012, ESB has grown from a party band of friends playing New Orleans-originated or inspired second-line and funk tunes with elements of rock and jam.  Now, it consists of a collective of players, singers, songwriters, and producers who have found an original sound that fuses their individual musical influences with fresh ideas while still holding true to their foundation.

Root Down will be serving their delicious twist on Southern Soul Food PLUS we will have our FULL bar open for you to enjoy!
