SUMMARY:Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones
DESCRIPTION:– STANDING ROOM ONLY \nGenre-defying Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones have been categorized as many things: Indie Alternative\, Folk Rock\, Dark Country\, and Pop Americana\, to name a few. Their music forms itself around Emerson’s songwriting\, and the raw lyrics and visual storytelling pull listeners in from all walks of musical appreciation. Her songs are often a collage of autobiographical and completely fantastical elements\, creating a unique space that is so relatably human while also seeming otherworldly and cinematic. \nThe band has been capturing attention in the indie music space since the release of their debut EP Not a Good Woman\, and they’ve certainly managed to keep it with their recent release Too Easy to Kill\, featuring Thia Kane. \nSince taking the leap into full-time music\, Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones have released several well-received records\, including their debut full-length album “Everything Must Go\,” which earned them the 2023 Makin Waves Best New Artist Award. Their catalog features notable songs like “Not a Good Woman\,” “Wouldn’t it Be Funny\,” and “Like Louisiana Sky\,” showcasing their evolving sound and emotional depth. The band’s passionate approach and connection with their audience continue to build their reputation as rising stars in the indie and Americana music scenes.

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.”

SUMMARY:FREE PATIO SHOW: Maisy Owen // Lucky Break
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:Buck Meek
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.

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.
