SUMMARY:Chris Acker and the Growing Boys w/ Creekbed Carter Hogan
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nCHRIS ACKER & THE GROWING BOYS\nIn a genre full of tall tales and marketable lies\, New Orleans’ Chris Acker crafts candid songs – weaving his wit and woes into a body of work that exposes the stale plight of the American Songster to the honest\, and sometimes hilarious\, light of day.\nIn the tradition of Guthrie and Prine\, Chris lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable and unrefined. Regardless if you’re sitting by a backyard fire on a muggy Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far flung town\, when you hear Chris Acker playing\, you’re hearing the end result of countless hours of observing the masters of the craft…and the end result of repeating their mistakes. \nFrom the folk revival through the golden age of country music\, deafened by punk shows and brass bands alike\, Chris’s songwriting is a nod to the absurd yet muted brilliance that inhabits the molded corners of the bars he patrons and cratered street he treads\, paired with a pained honesty that merits a long second look. \nAcker released his fourth full-length album\, Famous Lunch\, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back\, country-rockers like “Wouldn’t Do For You (Buddy)” and “Shit Surprise” (which Paste Magazine called a “song of the year contender” in 2024)\, a few raucous\, bar-ready joints like “Don’t You Know (Who I Think I Am)” and “Bunn Machine”\, and tender\, folky triumphs like “Stubborn Eyes” and “Eyelash”\, all showcasing Chris’ gift of building “vivid scenes at an impressively low word count” (No Depression). \nAcker tours solo or with his band The Growing Boys — Zach Thomas (bass)\, Nikolai Shveitser (pedal steel)\, Dave Hammer (guitar\, vocals)\, Sam Gelband (drums\, vocals)\, and occasionally Howe Pearson (piano). \nCREEKBED CARTER HOGAN\nFor trans folksinger Creekbed Carter Hogan\, everything good is made from the rotten stump of something else. It’s a theme they’ve become familiar with as they’ve made a life weaving stories of growing up religious around songs that pierce the soul\, tickle the funny bone\, and showcase a unique blend of self-taught folk picking and queer mayhem. \nCreekbed Carter\, out with Gar Hole Records on March 22 2024\, is Hogan at their most confident. Deftly crafted with folk sensibilities\, country swagger\, and a power emanating from the force of their own desires\, their new self-titled album is both creed and archive: a defiant declaration of survival and solidarity in an otherwise limited world.

You can participate in an optional beauty noticing practice\, hike the trails\, journal\, pull cards\, or nurture new friendships.\nThis day asks nothing of you except that you show up as you are\, ready to receive\, and most importantly\, ready to step into your soulskin again —your holy essence\, in a gathering of like minded women. \nThis is an intimate container of only 8 women.\nSliding scale pricing available*\nLEARN MORE & REGISTER HERE: https://katelynwargo.com/livingpoempotraitandpresence

SUMMARY:Kaleta and Super Yamba Band
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY \nKALETA & SUPER YAMBA BAND\nBrooklyn’s Kaleta & Super Yamba Band are fronted by Afrobeat and Juju veteran Leon Ligan-Majek a.k.a. Kaleta. The singer/guitarist from the West African country of Benin Republic lived his adolescent life in Lagos\, Nigeria where Afrobeat was born. Kaleta’s guitar chops earned him decades of touring and recording with Fela Kuti\, King Sunny Ade\, Lauryn Hill and more. Kaleta got his start in the late 70s performing in church and was soon after picked up by iconic Juju master and world music pioneer King Sunny Ade. A few years later Fela Kuti came calling. Kaleta would go on to tour the world playing guitar for the King of Afrobeat in his storied band Egypt 80 through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Now based in New York City\, Kaleta has been leading Super Yamba Band since 2017. Their debut album ‘Mèdaho\,’ which was released by California indie label Ubiquity Records\, draws on the group’s shared reverence for the raw\, psychedelic sounds that captivated Kaleta as a music loving kid in 1970s Benin. Mèdaho means “big brother”\, “elder” or “teacher” and is dedicated to Kaleta’s late brother Ligan-Ozavino Pascal who introduced him to funk and soul music at a very early age. The album was included on Bandcamp’s “Best Albums of Summer 2019” list and two of the songs were chosen for the ABC/Hulu series High Fidelity staring Zoe Kravitz. Kaleta and his band have also erupted onto the stages and video screens of major music festivals and music publications across the US. They performed at the historic Apollo Theatre in 2019. They even prompted Action Bronson to stop his own show on VICELAND TV just so he could hear more Yamba. They also performed on Adult Swim’s Fishcenter Live show in 2019. In 2017 they rocked Paste Magazine’s Emerging Music Festival in NYC and after that performance Afropop Worldwide fell in love with Kaleta\, saying “his James Brown grunts have got to be some of the best in the business!”

SUMMARY:APLR Presents: Mikaela Davis with Nic Panken
DESCRIPTION:APLR Presents: Mikaela Davis with Nic Panken \nSaturday\, July 25th\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room – 312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 6PM || Event 7PM \nMikaela Davis \nEvery universe begins with a singular point\, a quiet corner where instinct speaks loudest\, where existential imagination can stretch its limbs. For acclaimed harpist and songwriter Mikaela Davis’ new album\, Graceland Way (due TK via Kill Rock Stars)\, that singularity was a hillside home in Chevy Chase Canyon\, a spot nestled in Los Angeles County where time slowed\, the world fell away\, and Davis could create from a sense of warmth and deep attentiveness. The “canyon country” epic born of that care ties a neo-western future back to the lineage of Laurel Canyon\, the mythos of Elvis’s Graceland\, and Paul Simon’s restless reinvention—a place where Davis can explore the fragile balance of light and dark\, grace and struggle\, rose and thorn\, as well as the mystical power found at their nexus. \nThe record’s musical big bang originated at the nexus of UHF Studio\, where Davis and noted guitarist John Lee Shannon\, co-wrote the record and co-produced alongside longtime collaborator Dan Horne. As the album’s story of an unnamed antihero navigating life in a failing world\, her harp\, his guitar\, and their joint melodies weave a mystic depth. That’s immediately evident from the opening track “(Looking Through) Rose Colored Glasses”\, a harp glissando burst functioning like a blissful wormhole to a new universe where dark Western tones come aided by Kurt G. Johnson’s pedal steel guitar and transformative harmonies from guest vocalists Madison Cunningham and Tim Heidecker. But even in this pained origin story\, Davis’ glittering\, opalescent voice and evocative harp find a depth of beauty. \nThat duality is then immediately challenged in “Nothin’s On The Radio”\, where the antihero arrives in a city devoid of meaning\, the dystopia of modern homogenized radio writ large. “It already feels dystopic living in a world today where radio stations are all owned by a handful of corporations\, all playing the same artists. Gone are the days when the radio was a way to bring people together\, to amplify the voices of freaks and weirdos from all corners of the world\,” she says. “I was fortunate to grow up in the last years of the golden age of FM radio\, and being able to tune into this magical world far beyond my own was a transformative experience. Hearing artists like Sheryl Crow and Vanessa Carlton coming through the car stereo is what made me want to write songs and play music in the first place.” \nAs the album progresses and the story continues\, Davis and her compatriots explore magic and mysticism on “11:11” and the haunting darkness of “Mizmoon”. Cass McCombs wrote the latter\, rattling percussion and Davis’ harp low end giving way to slippery shadows of violin. “When Cass first sent over the track\, it was the coolest thing I’d ever heard\,” Davis says. “The music and lyrics create such an ominous mood and I could imagine how the harp would carry the song right away.” Elsewhere\, Wednesday vocalist Karly Hartzman contributes to “Junk Love”\, an exploration of knowingly filling an empty space with meaningless physicality. Across Graceland Way’s\, Davis’ harp masterfully powers the wide variety of soundscapes\, taking on an ecstatic range of emotional color. “At the end of the journey\, the place you were destined for all along isn’t even a place\, it’s a state of mind: Graceland Way\,” Davis says. “It’s all interconnected and the universe balances itself. You need the dark to see the light\, and the most beauty usually happens where the two meet.” \nNic Panken \nBorn in Brooklyn and living in Kingston\, NY\, Nic Panken has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe\, performing on NPR’s Tiny Desk\, at Newport Folk Festival and Austin City Limits as lead singer in NYC band Spirit Family Reunion. His debut solo record Near Divine or Merely Rhyme came out in April 2026\, co-produced with multi-instrumentalist Jared Samuel (Kevin Morby)\, and featuring guest musicians Mat Davidson (Twain) and Austin Vaughn (Cass McCombs) among others.

SUMMARY:RENT - Flat Rock Playhouse - 7/24-8/15
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago\, RENT ignited Broadway like a lightning bolt — a raw\, raucous\, Pulitzer Prize–winning love letter that gave voice to the misfits\, the rebels\, the ones who loved without permission.  Three decades later\, its fire still burns. \nIn the East Village\, a patchwork of outsiders fight to create and survive in a city that’s forgotten them. They turn struggle into art and fear into defiance. Through loss\, love\, and the noise of the city\, they find strength together in the face of adversity.  \nBased on Puccini’s masterpiece\, La Bohème\, and fueled by its electric rock score and unflinching humanity\, RENT is one of the most influential musicals of the 20th century\, reimagined this season with the bold artistry of Flat Rock Playhouse. Join the revolution. No Day But Today. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:APLR Presents: The Animeros
DESCRIPTION:APLR Presents: The Animeros \nThursday\, July 23rd\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room – 312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 6PM || Event 7PM \nThe Animeros \nWith musical notes that span well beyond genres like bolero\, psychedelic\, and cumbia\, The Animeros not only make their audience hit the dance floor\, but they also invite their listeners and tastemakers alike to a glimpse of their rich cultural upbringing. \nThe group who is made up of Nick Tozzo (drummer and percussionist)\, Nicolas Sanchez (bassist)\, and Mauro Lopez (guitarist) craft a genre-blending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia\, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico\, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas. \nSanchez’s Colombian roots\, growing up listening to his parents’ beloved salsa and cumbia; Lopez’s parents’ Mexican and American discography\, which spanned from traditional Tejano to improvised jazz; and Tozzo’s love for jazz and salsa music\, the latter stemming from his college years\, leading him to study and live in Colombia to experience music greats first-handedly. All of this\, paired with their undeniable chemistry and meshed with their now hometown Austin’s innovative creative sounds has led them to create the unique sonic movement that is The Animeros\, a name inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to their peace. \nTheir journey took an unexpected turn when their music reached the ears of Dan Auerbach\, the Grammy Award winning producer\, songwriter\, and frontman of The Black Keys. Auerbach first heard them by chance\, music floating from an open hotel window that stopped him in his tracks. Captivated\, he made a note to track them down\, and within a year\, that chance encounter led to something bigger. Now signed to Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label\, The Animeros are preparing to release their debut album next year\, produced exclusively by Auerbach himself. \n“I feel like it’s only a matter of time for these guys and for the music that they play. All they have to do is be themselves\,” Auerbach said about the trio. “They’re playing the kind of music that they can play forever until they’re 100 years old because it’s rooted in history\, but it’s very much in the present.” \n“When we first talked\, one of the things was our love for the nuance in Latin music\,” Lopez shared. “That’s what initially drew ourselves to each other… That’s like a language among musicians.” Tozzo also talked about their shared musical bond: “What makes our chemistry special is that even if one of us has just a glimpse of an idea\, together we can take that and really create something out of it.” “That encyclopedia of [music] knowledge everyone brings…That’s what’s really appealing about this project. It’s not just surface level. Everybody’s going pretty deep on it\,” Sanchez added. \nThe Animeros are on the cusp of reaching new audiences all over the globe. More singles are coming with a new album on the way in 2026 via Easy Eye Sound. \nAll ages\nEnding Time is an estimate\nTickets only sold through DICE. Ticket Price will increase day of show.

SUMMARY:Midnight North
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nBUCK MEEK\nA gleaner of the forgotten\, Buck Meek tips over the familiar and turns the unknown into a companion. On The Mirror\, the artist’s fourth solo record and second album released by 4AD\, there’s a tender power\, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity\, Meek conjures twin worlds to reveal the uniqueness in the mundane. Inviting in reflection as collaborator and demon as friend\, The Mirror doesn’t seek to know but to ask\, looking to the shape of a question rather than the illusion of its answer. \nMeek grew up in Wimberley\, Texas\, teenage protege to an old guard of mystic Texas songwriters and musicians. He later moved to New York where he met Adrianne Lenker. The two lived in a van while singing their songs across the country before forming Big Thief. \nThe partnership of Meek and producer\, James Krivchenia\, emerged from a decade of work together in Big Thief. Conceptually\, The Mirror emerged from the idea to combine Meek’s band’s live\, kinetic energy with an oblique electronic world. The pair invited a collective atmosphere in which simultaneous experiment could occurr––the musicians responded to each other in real time\, while their instruments triggered modular synthesizers and electronic magic boxes. The Mirror welcomed in friends\, family\, longtime collaborators from ranging musical eras of life as vital co-creators. New creative partners and longtime friends like composer and ambient musician Alex Somers joined in on synthesizer\, toy microphone\, and piano\, and Mary Lattimore brought in the sounds of her prismatic harp. \nLexical mirrors are handheld\, tactile\, and kept close throughout the record––each one holding up a new truth. The Mirror aptly embraces the unknown with an abiding curiosity and Meek continues to reveal his skill as translator of human feeling and its endless portals. The Mirror looks for duality\, finding it in the weeds and overgrowth. \n“My demon is my darkness and my darkness is my angel / \nI taught him how to read\, now I’m teaching him to write.”

SUMMARY:The Other Mozart
DESCRIPTION:The Other Mozart is an award-winning\, Drama Desk nominated play telling the true\, forgotten story of Nannerl Mozart\, the genius sister of Amadeus — a prodigy\, keyboard virtuoso and composer\, who performed throughout Europe with her brother to equal acclaim\, but her work and her story faded away\, lost to history. \nSet in a stunning 18-foot dress\, this production by playwright Sylvia Milo ushers you into a world of opulence and delight – obscured by restriction and prejudice. The music score brings Nannerl’s musical imagination to life using clavichords\, music boxes\, teacups\, and fluttering fans. Inspired by the Mozart family’s hilarious and heartbreaking letters\, this other Mozart at last tells her story.

DESCRIPTION:– FREE SHOW\n– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE \nMAISY OWEN\nMaisy Owen\, a Nashville native\, has been surrounded by music and the art of songcraft just about all her life. First came the viola at the age of 9\, then guitar where she embraced fingerpicking while soaking in influences from Nick Drake\, Bert Jansch\, Mazzy Star and David Olney. Raised in a musical family\, her father Gwil Owen is an Academy Award-nominated songwriter. Maisy’s unique sound\, musical truth and stirring vocals inhabit Dark On A Sunny Day\, her debut album\, produced by Robin Eaton and to be released in the Spring of 2026 on Tompkins Square Records. Drawn to melancholic melodies and dark poetic imagery\, her first single “My Youth Is All For You” was released as a 7” and hit streaming services in October of 2025.\nLUCKY BREAK \nNurtured on 90s alternative indie\, lucky break’s music melds the emotional directness of Fiona Apple\, the wide-eyed warmth of Bedouine and the Americana-leaning alt rock of Lucinda Williams. Fans of Alvvays\, Hole\, Phoebe Bridgers and The Breeders will find familiar touchstones here.

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – HOLLAND VAN GORES\, WOOD & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and watch Holland Van Gores apply milk paint to his incredible wooden sculptures. \nHolland has spent the better part of his life working with wood. As a child\, he had access to his father’s workshop and was able to use the tools and supplies. Learning these skills early in life\, led him to choose a career in construction where he honed his skills in California before taking on construction work in remote Costa Rica and eventually the United States Virgin Islands. Holland and his family relocated to western North Carolina in 2012 where he built a studio surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. He is constantly experimenting with forms and textures\, often inspired by organic themes. “Making something with my hands allows me to feel a connection to that piece\, giving it a purpose.”
