Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer, Michael Cartellone will make his Asheville, NC artwork debut on May 25th.

About his paintings, Cartellone said: “My grandparents are from Bronte, Sicily and I have a lot of family still there. Each time I return from a visit I am inspired to paint the places I experienced. Every Italian-themed painting I have done for this show is based off of a spot I have actually stood in.”

The show will be held at the Philip DeAngelo Studio in the iconic, River Arts District of Ashville. There’s also a reception with Cartellone to follow. The event is free and open to the public.

This year Lynyrd Skynyrd is co-headlining a tour with ZZ Top. The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour, has 36 performances scheduled throughout North America. Among those shows… on June 6, they’ll play Nashville’s CMA Fest.
