A spring cabaret presented by vocalist Lane Ragsdale and accompanist Tom Liles at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 5, at the Asheboro library, will be a unique departure from previous shows.
"Lane and Tom: An Evening Where Memories Are Made” is a gift from Ragsdale to the Friends of the Library for their many years of support and for bringing the concept of a cabaret to Asheboro, and a specific tribute to Arlene Smith, who championed the cause.
The show is free and the public is invited.
“Arlene has been the heart of my performances,” Ragsdale says of Smith, who passed away April 7. “She may be small in stature but she is a ‘suffer no fools, this is how it is’ kind of lady and a greater lady has never walked the planet! This is my chance to say thank you to her.”
The show itself will feature an eclectic blend of music and stories from standards to modern and quirky ballads. “This is a show for everyone but in my heart, I will be singing just for Arlene.”
The performance will take place upstairs in the library. Seating is first-come first-served.
