SUMMARY:Croz Boyce
DESCRIPTION:APLR Presents: Croz Boyce – Featuring Avey Tare & Geologist from Animal Collective \nTuesday\, September 8th\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room \n312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 6PM || Show 7PM \nCroz Boyce \n**What if 40 minutes of instrumental music made by two friends passing files across state lines could capture the range of human experience\, or at least a disproportionate chunk of it—worry and camaraderie\, hope and frustration\, tenderness and absurdity?** \nThat is the question that steadily emerges across the nine tracks of the self-titled debut from Croz Boyce\, the duo of two musicians who have made some of the last quarter-century’s most inquisitive music: Dave Portner (Avey Tare) and Brian Weitz (Geologist) of Animal Collective. \nBuds and collaborators for so long that it seems they can have deep exchanges without a word—or\, in this case\, a shared physical space—Portner and Weitz cry and hug and crack up (good) and crack up (bad) as a pair here. A record of sweet or fretful acoustic strums and electronics that give every scene color and depth\, *Croz Boyce* feels like a celebration of friendship\, of the chance to share a lifetime together even if from a distance. \nHere is some requisite biographical information for the first or third paragraph of your record review\, depending on the kind of outline you prefer: \nFive years ago\, Animal Collective released a track called “Brown Thrasher\,” part of a massive charitable compendium called *For the Birds*. It was a curious little drift\, single acoustic notes acting like opened windows for rays of electronic sunshine. To divulge a little liner-notes data\, that was just Portner and Weitz\, working through their mutual adoration for a springtime idyll. \nThe two liked the partnership and\, as the rest of their main quartet was busy with other projects\, decided to keep going. Starting in early 2023\, and almost without exception\, Portner would write a guitar theme in his Blue Ridge redoubt and send it to Weitz in the heart of D.C. He’d react to each instrumental and send it back. Aside from a shared mixing session in rural North Carolina and another in Baltimore with Animal Collective’s Josh Dibb\, that’s how easily *Croz Boyce* came together—two longtime pals passing the time by making music together. \nBut the best way to hear *Croz Boyce*\, really\, is to forget the backstory for 40 minutes\, to discard notions of why this guitar tone or that rhythmic relationship might sound familiar. Instead\, simply listen and feel: What do these songs remind you of or make you aspire to? \nHere are some possible interpretations\, all but certainly incorrect in the merged mind of Weitz and Portner but valid nevertheless. \nOpener “Hanging Out with a Blueberry Pop” first feels like lounging on a riverbank with your crew\, maybe laughing as you pass a joint around\, baking in the sun; the midsection is the splish-splash of finally jumping in\, too giddy to care about the current. \nMaybe it’s just the name at work\, but “Towson Acid” maps the edge of oblivion where even the plainest of facts don’t seem certain\, where reality refracts into a dozen different images\, where even the drums you hear in the distance are maybe hallucinatory phantoms. \nAnd is closer “Banana Pudding” only these two homies messing with each other\, the space between the slow strums and the wildly teasing electronics intended to make one another (and\, hey\, us) chuckle? It works. \nBut it’s not all laughs and lounging by the water. At least half of *Croz Boyce* feels like a wordless meditation on these anxious times\, on the endless bubbling up of bad headlines and counting down of the doomsday clock. \n“Father Karras\,” which Weitz actually started\, suggests two hands nervously rubbed together\, its string scrapes and warped synthesizer lines and Derek Bailey guitar staking out a landscape of uncertainty. \nAnd “Steven’s Sunshine Rejected” is kind of a beautiful bummer\, isn’t it? Portner’s down-tuned guitar and forlorn slide lines shape a gray playground for Weitz’s electronics\, which move this way and that like gusts of wind. When the pace picks up in the back half\, though\, it feels like two people who simply trust one another\, reaching together for something a little better. \nTo reiterate\, this could\, of course\, all be wrong. Take this music on a hike or a walk or a lazy riverside day. Listen. Decide for yourself. \nBack before Animal Collective was really called Animal Collective\, the goal was for that loose confederation of close friends to make music together as time and personnel and circumstance allowed. Like jazz musicians showing up for sessions\, they’d slap the name of whoever played on the cover. Branding needs intervened and\, well\, we have been blessed with approximately a quarter-century of Animal Collective. But the idea remains\, as every member of that band has always moved as a perpetual free agent. \nWeitz and Portner were going to call this music *Geologist and Avey Tare*\, but they began this project around the time that David Crosby died. A Dropbox folder named “Croz Boys” mutated into the handle *Croz Boyce*—not a tribute to Crosby’s music at all\, but maybe an unintentional tribute to the idea that there are lots of worse ways to pass your life than making music with buds. \nAgain\, though\, that could all be wrong. \nAll ages\nEnding Time is an estimate\nTickets only sold through DICE.  Ticket Price will increase on the day of the show.  Save by buying before!

For Anne painting begins with what you cannot see. She poses questions to herself before starting a painting. What is drawing me to this subject? What is the story I want to tell? What am I trying to express in each painting? No single mark is precious. No fear is allowed to enter the process behind the easel. All elements of the composition must work in unity. This process is critical for infusing energy into my work and allows me to respond directly to the piece as it evolves. \nAnne’s journey as an artist has been a fulfilling adventure\, leading her from fashion and textile designer in NYC\, to teaching and developing art curricula for children in Philadelphia and Chicago. In 2013 Anne turned her focus to fine art. After viewing a pastel exhibition at the Noyse Museum of Art in Hammonton N.J. Anne began her journey with the pastel medium. The tangible aspects of the medium\, with the ability to draw\, paint\, layer\, and combine with other mediums has led her on an energetic journey pushing the qualities of pastel in her work. Anne’s work has been featured in the Pastel Journal multiple times\, Pratique Des Arts and Strokes of Genius and the 2022 and 2024 IAPS Souvenir Book. She has also written multiple articles for the Pastel Journal and Artist Magazine. \nAnne is the past president and workshop chair of the Piedmont Pastel Society. In 2019 she participated in the Dueling Demonstration event at the International Association of Pastel Societies convention which occurs every two years. In 2022 and 2024 Anne was invited back to be one of the faculty artists to demonstrate her techniques at the convention. Anne holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and currently lives in Pickens\, South Carolina.

SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: Morgan Geer
DESCRIPTION:– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE\nMorgan Geer of Drunken Prayer \nDrunken Prayer transcends the bounds of Americana music. Morgan Geer writes songs that could emerge from a highly blissed-out biker bar or a swampy ashram. \nThe new Drunken Prayer record\, Thy Burdens\, is an homage to the fiery music of the church. Partnering with Drive-By Truckers’ Bobby Matt Patton\, the pair recorded this album in North Mississippi with some of their friends from Appalachia and the Delta including members of MJ Lenderman’s band\, Band of Heathens\, Jimbo Mathis’ group\, and Wednesday. \nIn 2026 The Deslondes from New Orleans included Geer’s “Cordelia” on their covers album of influential songs. Alongside like minded artists as Johnny Cash\, Swamp Dogg\, and Clifton Chenier\, Glide Magazine says ”That song alone justifies this album’s existence.” \nMorgan Geer’s poignant and wickedly funny music is revered across the fringe of Americana. Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family said “Morgan Geer is the real thing – a songwriter with a heart as deep as the Marianas Trench and sensitive as the wet hands of a raccoon.” Geer also plays guitar in the pioneering alt-country band Freakwater and collaborates with members of Butthole Surfers\, Melvins and Ween. He started using the moniker “Drunken Prayer” after a chance conversation about rats with Tom Waits. \nDrunken Prayer is now a stalwart of the burgeoning scene in Asheville\, NC. Morgan Geer has recorded and toured with some of the cornerstones of what we call modern Americana music.

SUMMARY:Horse Feathers
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nHORSE FEATHERS\nIn 2026\, Horse Feathers’ debut album\, Words Are Dead\, celebrates its 20th anniversary. Kill Rock Stars is set to release a deluxe reissue that will be completely remastered and pressed on an exclusive vinyl color. It will include a replica of their original six-song demo CD in the package\, along with a deluxe foil-stamped LP jacket.\nTo support the release\, Horse Feathers’ current ensemble of Justin Ringle (guitar\, vocals\, banjo)\, Nathan Crockett (violin\, saw)\, Halli Anderson of River Whyless (violin\, vocals)\, Kati Claborn of Blind Pilot (banjo\, vocals\, clarinet)\, and Luke Ydstie also of Blind Pilot (bass\, cello\, vocals) faithfully recreate the mood of the original release with taut dynamics and sensitive arrangements. \nIn the years following Words Are Dead\, Horse Feathers quietly built a body of work defi ned by patience and evolution rather than reinvention. Records like House With No Home\, Thistled Spring\, and Cynic’s New Year expanded their sonic palette without abandoning the restraint that fi rst set them apart. By the time of Appreciation\, the band had begun to open its sound outward\, introducing richer arrangements and a subtle warmth that suggested growth without rupture. Through it all\, Ringle remained a steady center\, writing songs that favored emotional precision over spectacle. \nThe reissue of Words Are Dead does not attempt to rewrite that history. Instead\, it brings the origin point back into focus\, offering a rare chance to hear where it all began while recognizing how far the project has traveled since. \nRevisiting the album now\, with two decades of distance\, reveals not just a beginning but a foundation. The same careful interplay\, the same attention to space and tone\, still anchors the band’s work today. In that sense\, the reissue feels less like a retrospective and more like a continuation. A reminder that some records do not age so much as they wait for the right moment to be heard again.

SUMMARY:COPTIC BOUND JOURNAL WORKSHOP WITH ERIN KEANE - SEPTEMBER EDITION
DESCRIPTION:Handmade journals are a joy to use for anything and everything\, any day\, every day. Coptic binding is a historical method of constructing a book by sewing folded sections of paper and attaching them to hard covers. Bookbinders use this binding for its beauty with an exposed spine\, functionality with pages that open flat\, and historical roots to perpetuate time-honored traditions.  \nIn this class\, we will create a beautiful blank journal using Paired Needle Coptic Stitch\, which is a specific form of Coptic binding that uses multiple needles and multiple threads. Your journal will have a lovely chain stitch at every sewing station\, and it will be structurally strong and highly functional.  \nAll materials and tools will be provided\, so you can arrive empty handed and relax into the experience. If you already have personal bookbinding tools and find them most comfortable\, please feel welcome to bring along. For the book covers\, I’ll have a variety of decorative papers to choose from including Nepalese Lokta\, Indian cotton\, Japanese Chiyogami. If you prefer your own decorative paper\, please feel welcome to bring along (for space and efficiency\, please pre-cut the paper to 8.5” x 11”).  \nAll skill levels welcome. I look forward to working together and reveling in the stitching goodness!  \nErin studied art at Miami University\, Ohio\, and graduated with an M.A. in Art Education. She moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains and taught at Brevard Middle School earning National Board Certification in Visual Arts. In 2011\, Erin moved into a new career stage\, becoming a professional artist and instructor. She works daily at her home studio near Pisgah National Forest\, and her adventures in the mountains\, lakes\, and rivers become embedded personally into her imagery.
