Edwin McCain Kicks off the Summer Concert Series

When you think of big names in the music world, you might also think that you have to travel to Raleigh, Atlanta, or New York to attend the best concerts. When you live in The Ramble Biltmore Forest, however, you don't even have to venture beyond the gates to enjoy a night of entertainment. The Ramble, an Asheville gated community offering luxury homes and homesites, kicked off their 2009 Summer Concert Series on Friday, June 19th, with alternative rock singer/songwriter Edwin McCain.

Best known for his hit song "I'll Be," Edwin McCain is a top 40 musician based out of Greenville, South Carolina. Playing thirty minutes longer than originally scheduled, he performed to an enthusiastic crowd comprised of several hundred private invitation attendees who cheered him back on stage for an encore towards the end of the evening. The evening began with a pre-party reception in The Ramble's unique Handmade House, hosted by WNC Magazine. The band also enjoyed a pre-concert dinner at 17 Croton Court, a Biltmore Farms Homes spec house from the Cottages of Greensward inventory. The festivities continued after the concert, too, during a reception back at the Handmade House where party-goers enjoyed getting to know McCain as he answered questions, posed for photos, and signed autographs.

Ramble residents are looking forward to a summer full of exciting events, with the Concert Series being a long time favorite. The community is thriving with residents from diverse backgrounds who are already enjoying the many amenities that it has to offer. And if the summer shows aren't enough, residents also have the benefit of convenient access to downtown Asheville, where music venues include the nationally-renowned Orange Peel and many local bars and restaurants that host bands on a nightly basis.
