    Skinny Legs and All - in the Warren Wilson College Chapel
    “Asheville’s freshest young band whose ages range from 13-18. Don’t let their ages fool you - they are ‘making waves’ on the local music scene knocking out youthful renditions of classic blues, funk and soul. These gifted performers deliver lip smacking, dance inspiring, mood altering grooves with strong soulful vocals that will lead you on a journey from a slow shuffle to booty grooving madness!” Mountain Xpress Review

    Leilani Münter - in the Warren Wilson College Chapel
    is Carbon Free Girl. Her story is of a race car driver's journey to be carbon neutral; a diary of her lifetime     project of sorting through the facts and fiction about alternative fuels, organic food, clean energy, green     buildings, solar power, wind farms, composting, recycling, politics and more, all while she makes a living     driving a race car at 200 mph. It's not always easy being green but Leilani hopes that by sharing her story, she will make your journey a little easier.
