Some soul music with your soul food!
Got lunch plans on Friday? You do now — because we guarantee you won’t want to miss what’s cooking over at Bread of Heaven, 1366 N. Wright Road in Alcoa, across from First Baptist of Alcoa. Not only does owner Michael Colquitt cook up soul food so good you’ll weep, but now he’s serving it with a side of live music on Fridays.
Local singer-songwriter Scott McMahan, a dude we’ve written about several times (most recently back in May), is now performing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday at Bread of Heaven, helping Colquitt drum up some business.
(If I could editorialize here, it’s a shame he needs the help. What’s wrong with you people?!? I beg them to adopt me every time I eat there — the food alone should keep folks lined up out the door!)
Anyway … the prices are reasonable, especially considering it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet, and the opportunity to hear McMahan’s work-in-progress — a forthcoming album tentatively titled “Dying on the Vine,” which features an all-star cast of backing musicians that includes Keith Brown, son of local jazz legend Donald Brown, on piano; local session phenom Greg Horne on fiddle and guitar; Marty Hodge on drums; and bass player Dave Peeples, who gigs with Blount County songbird Robinella — is even more incentive to skip breakfast on Fridays and head over to Alcoa.
