SUMMARY:Max Ribner with Freedom Family Band\, ANZA\, & Chinobay
DESCRIPTION:Max Ribner \nwith Freedom Family Band and ANZA \nThursday\, May 28th\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room – 312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 6:00 PM || Music 6:30 PM \nMax Ribner \nWhat are the common threads that bridge jazz\, soul\, and classical music with spiritual connection and community service? \nThis is the question that drives international touring artist Max Ribner. The sound that answers is rich\, reverent\, and intimate\, connecting us through the lineage of music\, to the stories of our ancestors. In the past\, Max’s unique and fusion-inspired approach to Flugelhorn and trumpet has led him to perform with artists such as Trevor Hall\, MaMuse\, Esperanza Spalding\, Nahko And Medicine For The People\, Liv Warfield (Prince) and many more. The result of years of collaboration with such a broad musical community is powerfully illustrated on Max’s albums\, 1st Language and Resilient Beings Community album created at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville\, NC. \nwww.maxribner.com \nResilient Beings – An Electrifying\, Immersive Experience Where the People Become the Music \nBridging the gap between stage and audience\, Max Ribner and local artists welcome you to an immersive experience/workshop where we all become part of the orchestra. Join Max Ribner and an extraordinary ensemble of local artists as we SING and celebrate songs from Resilient Beings Community Album. \nRecorded at Echo Mountain in Asheville\, this genre-bending album bridges folk\, creative improvisation\, and choral harmonies—a soulful tapestry woven from resilience\, loss and the power of community. \nListen in: Resilient Beings Album recorded in Asheville: \nhttps://maxribner.bandcamp.com/album/resilient-beings-live-in-asheville-2025 \nListen and watch: Resilient Beings Live Music Video in Asheville: \n \nThe band: \nSamara Jade – vocals & guitar \nKatrina Lilly – vocals \nAshae Tenderfire – vocals \nJoe Enwright – drums \nBrennan Dugan – bass \nMax Ribner – vocals\, flugelhorn\, keys \n** \nFreedom Family Band** \nMatteo and Katrina Lilly of The Freedom Family Band are incredible musicians\, song weavers\, and community leaders. Their music touches hearts and their mission is rooted in integrity and generosity. The space they hold is refreshingly authentic and profoundly special. Their raw humanness weaves so beautifully with their ancient souls and celestial sounds. Their style is centered around profound lyricism\, tight vocal harmonies\, and inspired musical flow. They defy genre and embody something so ancient and special that it can’t quite be labeled. They have empowered and mentored thousands of aspiring musicians both indirectly and directly through their one music program\, 1:1 coaching work\, inspiring prayerformances and song circles\, internationally distributed music\, and the last 7 Free The Music Gatherings. It’s truly their life’s work to inspire all people to express their music\, art\, and creative flow. They foster belonging and cultivate spirit. You can see the hand of God working in their lives and the medicine they carry is contagious in all the best ways. \nWebsite: https://freedomfam.org/ \nANZA \nAnna & Anzi Rivers – ANZA is a high vibe sister duo consisting of 13-year-old Anzi & 16-year-old Anna Rivers. Songwriting and composing have been a lifelong passion. \nThey were born and raised part of their life in the high mountain desert region of Colorado\, and now can be found exploring the lush feminine Grandmother Mountains of North Carolina. They are homeschooled and spend a lot of their time singing and creating. \nAnna and Anzi grew up inspired by an array of musical landscapes and experiences from nightly improv lullabies\, reading books as a song\, ecstatic dance\, music festivals\, family dance nights\, backyard fires with friends\, to the small stages of friends’ art galleries\, to making up songs in the backseat of the car. All while studying with Jeremy Dittus at the Dalcroze School of the Rockies\, since they were 5 years old. This led them to play piano and guitar. \nThey have played on stages of Global Leaf\, The White Horse\, Grey Eagle & Salvage Station in WNC\, as well as music festivals on stage\, and around the campfire with Max Ribner\, Paul Izak\, Tubby Love\, and The Freedom Family Band. They have sang with musicians MaMuse\, Samara Jade\, Aimée Ringle and Micaela Kingslight at The Circle Revival Gatherings\, a six-hour ceremony and gathering of 1100 people. They have spent significant time in state-of-the-art recording studios with Max Ribner and Roots Grown Deep. They have received accolades from Grammy Award-winning songwriter Jim Lauderdale and Marty Dodson. \nWebsite: https://anzaharmonies.com/home \nChinobay Kinobe: \nRooted in the rich cultural and musical traditions of Uganda\, Chinobay is a musician\, cultural ambassador\, and educator who has opened hearts across the globe and performed as a featured artist at top tier festivals and venues. \nAs a child growing up in his homeland of Uganda\, Chinobay lived in a small home near the Kanyange king’s palace. Constant immersion in the traditional music coming from the palace left an indelible mark on him. He embraced the folk tunes he learned from these musical elders\, crafting early works that paid homage to the music of his own tribe\, the Baganda people. \nAs he grew musically\, he revitalized these classic folk songs\, and along the way he mastered a broad array of traditional instruments. Today\, he is a seasoned songwriter\, a dedicated educator\, and a bridge-builder between cultures. His original compositions breathe life into the diverse stories of humanity\, showcasing Africa in its full spectrum of richness — transcending its portrayal merely as a backdrop for adversity. \nHis band seamlessly fuses Ugandan folk music with a wide range of global influences\, from Afrobeat dance rhythms to world funky inflections\, transcending genres and creating a sound that is both distinctive and accessible. With the band\, Chinobay incorporates traditional instruments such as the kora\, a West African harp-lute\, the kalimba\, a thumb piano native to East and Southern Africa\, the tamani\, a West African talking drum from Mali\, and the endongo\, a traditional Ugandan string instrument. These instruments not only offer a unique sonic texture but also help to preserve and celebrate Africa’s diverse musical heritage. \nBut for all of his musical success\, Chinobay’s journey is not just a musical odyssey\, it is also a testament to the power of art to transform lives and bring about positive change. From teaching music and dance to formerly homeless children in Kampala\, to supporting internally displaced youth from Northern Uganda\, he is having immeasurable impact on the lives of vulnerable children. \nMax Ribner’s Resilient Beings Workshop \nThursday\, May 28th\, 2026 \nDoors 11:30 AM || Workshop Noon \nJoin the Choir!!!

We will be writing a song that presents itself in the moment while learning basic rhythms\, choir parts\, deep listening\, and creative lyric writing. \nHere’s a song\, ‘North Star’ that we will learn and create a new section: https://youtu.be/uObTq7tk-qM \nAll voices\, ages\, backgrounds\, and levels of experience are welcome. \nAll ages

SUMMARY:George Trouble & The Zealots-"Entanglement"-Release Party/Bob Dylan's 85th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:George Trouble & The Zealots are delighted to return to the Grey Eagle for a double-headed show on Sunday\, May 24th at The Grey Eagle. In addition to the release of their 6th album\, “Entanglement”\, GT & The Zealots reprise the tradition of celebrating Bob Dylan’s birth. Hurricane Helene stymied the production process of “Entanglement” as well as eliminating the possibilty of a Dylan show in 2025. In an ironic twist\, the two events have come together in a happy confluence-partially as a result of the chaos that reigned down upon the French Broad River in Fall 2024. The band includes longtime partner Aaron Price-keys\, Zack Page-bass\, and Evan Martin-drums (The Honeycutters). It’s gonna be one for the books!

His band\, The Zealots\, is proud to release their fifth record- “Entanglement”\, this spring on Bob Dylan’s 85th birthday at The Grey Eagle. \nThe band will play a set of Dylan and the new record as well. George’s second solo album is primarily acoustic and features “Dirty Side of Helene”\, a folk lament in the wake of the disaster. GT returns to touring in ’26 with a deeper conviction to sharing the narratives of all who navigate the recovery from Hurricane Helene.

SUMMARY:Cole Chaney
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to his latest album\, In the Shadow of the Mountain\, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Cole Chaney is pretty candid and blunt about who he is and what kind of music he wants to make — the result of which\, this stunning offering from an artist wise beyond his age. \n“There’s a yin to every yang\,” Chaney says. “I want nothing more than for people to be creatively fulfilled\, and to do what they want. But\, for me to preach that? I have to practice it.” \nThat attitude resides at the core of the record\, where the trajectory of the songs seemingly — more so purposely — shoot off in the opposite direction of many of his contemporaries in the Americana\, country and folk music scenes. In truth? Chaney is summoning his rock roots. \n“I’m not concerned with being labeled as ‘country’.“There’s not a lot of music being released right now that is doing anything for me. I made something that I would want to listen to.” \nPointing to his lifelong admiration for 1990s rock — specifically Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots — as a vital influence on the sonic landscape of the album\, Chaney aimed to find a melodic balance between that raw and real rock sound and the bluegrass and folk music of his native Kentucky. \n“I wanted to make something that sounded like Ralph Stanley went in and got backed up by Soundgarden\,” Chaney jokes. “I write what I listen to. And whatever I listen to is going to come out in my music.” \nIn the Shadow of the Mountain was captured by famed producer Duane Lundy at his legendary studio in Lexington\, Kentucky. While talking at-length about the possible collaboration\, Lundy spoke of his love for Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. \n“I know plenty of bluegrass guys that could have recorded this for me\,” Chaney says. “But\, I wanted to take that string band and folk sound and bring it to a rock producer\, to bring that big sound out of these acoustic instruments — [Duane] was about to do that.” \nThe album was also co-produced by guitarist Zachary Hamilton\, a close friend of Chaney\, who is also the brother and bandmate of rising Lexington singer-songwriter Abby Hamilton. \n“[Zach] has that ability to fill a room with his guitar\, his voicings\, and all the choices he goes for down the neck of the guitar\,” Chaney says. “When Abby was opening for us\, I got to sit there and watch him play every night. I knew when I was going to do another album\, he needed to be involved in some capacity.” \nHeading into the recording sessions\, Chaney brought along his band\, which included Ella Webster (fiddle)\, Kyle Kleinman (mandolin)\, Joel Murtaugh (upright bass) and James Gooding (drums). Acclaimed Kentucky musician (and former bandmate) Aaron Bibelhauser also makes an appearance. \nWith this pivot in his tone and intent compared to his 2021 debut album\, Mercy\, Chaney sees this current path as more in-tune with what he’s not only wanted to do all along\, but has slowly shifted towards in recent years amid endless touring and performing.

SUMMARY:GODSPELL Musical Theater - Completely Reimagined for Today
DESCRIPTION:Experience Godspell like you’ve never seen it before. In every generation\, a community gathers around a story that refuses to stay quiet. Staging Godspell in 2026 isn’t just an act of theater—it’s an act of hope. It’s a reminder that joy can still erupt in unexpected places\, even in a tent set up on a patch of Carolina ground. And to be honest\, we’ve always believed the Gospel lands best when there’s laughter and sawdust. Now\, more than ever\, the world needs its people to seek justice\, forgiveness\, hope\, and love using all available paths. The directors\, cast and crew are local and have many years of experience in theater and music and want to give you an inspiring experience that echoes the hope of the last weeks of spring that will literally surround the tent.
