Show Recap: William Tyler with Kovacs and the Polar Bear 4/10/13

A HUGE thanks to William Tyler and Kovacs and the Polar Bear for putting on an amazing show last night at The Double Crown in West Asheville! The Grandma Presents team had a great time! William Tyler started the show with his incredible and mesmerizing picking.  Local favorites Kovacs and the Polar Bear closed out the night and got everyone up and dancing.  It got a little hot and sweaty, but it was nothing that Grandma couldn't handle (she loves the heat). This show was definitely a great way to kick off what is sure to be an incredible summer!  Thanks to everyone for coming out!  It was great to see so many familiar faces enjoying the show.
