SUMMARY:Tuatha Dea
DESCRIPTION:Hendersonville Theatre welcomes back one of the top 10 Celtic bands in the United States\, Tuatha Dea\, for our Hometown Sound Music Series finale! Don’t miss this unique and unforgettable experience born of a family drum circle that will draw you into the music!  \nTuatha Dea is a progressive Americana band with a Rock edge\, a Celtic-Appalachian influence\, and a fearless attitude for pushing the boundaries of modern roots music.

Combining primal rhythms\, melodic and ethereal ballads\, and screaming guitar riffs with an Appalachian/Celtic vibe\, Tuatha Dea inspires audience participation and has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland with their bold blend of mainstream rock\, mountain drumming\, and Appalachian blues to produce a truly unique sound that has a universal appeal. \nNamed one of the top 10 Celtic bands of 2022 by Marc Gunn’s Irish and Celtic PodCast\, Tuatha Dea is one of the 12 artists chosen for the 90th Anniversary Bristol Jubilee Sessions with Dolly Parton\, Ritchie Owens\, and other great renowned acts. \nDubbed “The Eclectic Partridge Family in Kilts and Corsets” and “The Appalachian Fae\,” Tuatha Dea has been featured and headlined at countless venues\, festivals\, and Highland Games nationwide including Floydfest\, Dragoncon\, and Comicpalooza. The band has performed on stage with Paul Simon\, Alto Reed\,  and James Mckinney and has appeared with Brandi Carlisle\, Kacey Musgraves\,  Jessica Lynn\, and Phil Lesh among others.  \nThe band’s members are also a family!

SUMMARY:Poppets for Healing with MuggaRose
DESCRIPTION:Step into a sacred space of remembrance and creation with the Poppets as Healing Tools Workshop — a hands-on experience designed to honor\, release\, and transform grief through art and ritual. \nSince 2012 MuggaRose has led these intimate workshops that have guided participants in crafting personal poppets —   rooted in ancient folk and ancestral traditions. Historically\, poppets were used as spiritual vessels of intention\, healing\, and connection. In this workshop\, they become personal tools for honoring loved ones who have passed and nurturing a connection between our worlds. \nTogether\, we’ll begin with a reflective conversation on the lineage of these healing tools across cultures and time. Then\, you’ll be guided through creating your own poppet — crafting a petition\, blending a custom herbal mix to activate your piece\, and adorning it with textiles and symbols that hold personal meaning. All materials are provided\, but we encourage Bringing any Trinkets\, fabrics etc of your own to include. \nThis circle is intentionally kept small — limited to seven participants — to ensure a deeply personal and emotionally safe space for sharing\, releasing\, and creating. \nWho do you wish to honor?\nWhom do you miss and long to remember?\nIs there someone you’re seeking closure with? \nYour poppet will become a keepsake of remembrance\, an altar piece\, and an heirloom of healing — a vessel for love that continues beyond loss.

She started writing fiction\, Wes penned his first song\, and few years later they were both multi-award-winners in their fields. Wes more than makes up for lost time with songs that dig deep and go to uncertain\, sometimes scary places. Come for a haunting melody and some intricate fingerpicking and stay for the wit and deep literary intelligence. There is always more to find in a Wes Collins song. \nAnd now Wes is flanked by musical heavyweights FJ Ventre on bass and harmonies\, Scott Dameron on guitars\, and Barry Gray on guitar\, cajon\, drums and harmonies. The call themselves the Wes Collins Band\, and they drive\, groove\, and tiptoe. Come see what we mean. \n“Wes Collins has a wonderful gift for telling stories from truly unique points of view. Every narrator in Jabberwockies reveals thoughts I’ve had but would certainly be terrified to express. Wes is a courageous songwriter. Wes also has that magical musical sensibility that makes me hit “repeat” on his songs. He makes my favorite records and he’s one of my ultimate favorite musical artists.” – Jaimee Harris \n“Wes Collins’ songs have a way of circling around my mood and elevating it. His music makes me feel better\, no matter how my day is going. I congratulate him on his new record Jabberwockies\, a stellar collection of new songs\, beautiful vocals\, and glorious harmonies by Jaimee Harris and Crystal Hariu-Damore. I can’t stop listening to it\, I love it!” – Mary Gauthier \n“You could hear a Wes Collins album all the way through without listening to a single lyric and be moved—his musicianship and musicality create a landscape in which you are thankful to lose yourself. But we listen to lyrics\, and Wes can spin a story. His use of language\, and his voice\, bring you layers deeper than you planned to go\, but you don’t want to leave.”- Crystal & Pete Damore\, Ordinary Elephant \n“He credits many other singer/songwriters in his musical tent as inspiration\, including Neil Finn\, Gillian Welch\, Bruce Cockburn and Patty Griffin\, but Collins is well on his way to establishing his own voice as one we should value.” – North Carolina Arts Council
