SUMMARY:The Appalucians
DESCRIPTION:NEW LOCATION as part of a special event & concert series being held at the Monte Vista\, located at 308 W State St\, Black Mountain\, NC 28711 \nWe want everyone to access the healing power of music! Maybe you can only give a few dollars\, or maybe you have resources to cover the cost for others. Donate what you can! Enter your desired donation amount below. \nThe Appalucians play music from the mountains of Western North Carolina\, featuring spirited songwriting\, sublime harmonies\, and a layered interplay between dobro\, guitars\, harmonica and banjo. The band is the musical union of Aditi Sethi and Jay Brown (Aditi and Jay) and Angie Heimann and Cas Sochacki (The Blushin’ Roulettes) who met at their kids’ preschool\, gradually realized their seemingly cosmic musical alignment\, and decided they better start a band. Their debut album “Bright Hills” (recorded at Higher Ground Studio in Birmingham\, AL\, released in early summer 2018)\, has flavors of mountain folk\, 70’s folk-rock and barroom twang\, and reached the top ten on the NACC Folk Album chart in 2018.
