Music begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for this limited seating concert are $15 plus tax, and can be purchased by visiting blackmountainarts.org or by calling 828.669.0930.

Natalya Zoe Weinstein and John Cloyd Miller exude the soulful charm of traditional American music, and are founding members of the acclaimed Americana trio Red June and long-time veterans of the Asheville music scene.

Of their album Equinox, music legend Alice Gerrard said, “I’m a sucker for great duo harmony singing, well-written originals, choice material, and fine playing—all of these are here on Equinox… I absolutely love it!”

John Cloyd Miller is a 12th generation North Carolina native and grandson of pioneering bluegrass fiddler and NC Folk Heritage Award winner Jim Shumate. John’s foundation in traditional bluegrass and Appalachian music coupled with his modern sensibility make him a natural musician and performer. He is well known for his haunting mountain voice as well as his instrumental prowess and award-winning songwriting. John is a first place winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest and a recipient of an Artist Fellowship for songwriting by the North Carolina Arts Council.

Natalya Zoe Weinstein also comes from a musical family. Her father is a master jazz pianist and her grandfather was a professional klezmer musician. She is an accomplished fiddler in a variety of styles, as well as an inspiring singer and songwriter. While trained classically in her home state of Massachusetts, she has spent many years fine-tuning her bluegrass and old-time fiddling with some of the top traditional musicians in North Carolina. Natalya is also a sought-after instructor and is in high demand as a teacher and session musician.
