SUMMARY:Night Hawk with Claire Whall\, Chrysalis\, and Wild Roots
DESCRIPTION:The Brunswick\, Maine-bred indie rock group Night Hawk returns to Asheville to celebrate their bold new record (recorded at Drop of Sun Studios)\, alongside luminaries of North Carolina songcraft.  \nNight Hawk is an American indie rock band from Brunswick\, Maine\, now based in Washington\, D.C. Originally a songwriting vehicle for Colter Adams (Indigo Boulevard) and Peyton Semjen\, the project has evolved into an acclaimed live act\, earning a devoted following for its delicate guitar work\, enchanting harmonies\, and clear-eyed lyricism. \nNight Hawk’s music is defined by stark geometry and bold imagery\, underpinned by a deep sense of melancholia and repose. Drawing on themes of urban isolation\, childhood nostalgia\, and the catalogue of 20th century painter Edward Hopper\, the band blends traditional folk elements—fiddle\, arpeggiated acoustic guitar—with the raw energy of barnstorming indie and alternative rock\, creating a sonic palette that is as expansive as it is emotionally precise. \nNight Hawk has shared the stage with nationally touring artists including Y La Bamba\, Sadurn\, Lady Lamb\, Dino Gala\, and Dead Gowns\, and has headlined sold-out shows in New York City\, Boston\, Washington D.C.\, and Portland\, Maine. Their debut album\, Before We Begin—engineered and produced by Colter Adams\, Colin Miller (MJ Lenderman\, Indigo de Souza) and Chris Flores (Sonar House Studios)—is available on all platforms on August 7.

9:30 AM – Meet Time\n10-11 AM – Wrap Event\nGathering Locations TBA
 \nUNC Asheville’s 54-acre urban forest and cherished community resource and wildlife habitat (aka “The Woods”) is under threat of development despite its status as one of the last remaining urban forests in Asheville. 
\nAs part of a multi-phase plan\, UNCA proposes leasing the urban forest property to a developer who will erect a 5\,000-seat stadium along with retail shops and market-rate housing. Community members are speaking out against this plan\,  including university staff\, faculty\, and students; members of the adjacent neighborhoods\, which will be directly impacted by the development; and more than 15\,000 petition signers.

 \nHowever\, after months of community action to preserve this forest\, the university’s administration and the UNC Board of Governors refuse to change course. The Wrap The Woods event is intended to draw attention to the sheer size of the threatened acreage containing around 20\,000 trees.
