His repertoire upholds musical pillars such as Blind Willie McTell\, George Carter\, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Leadbelly. His life’s work continues\nthe distinguished tradition of the very roots of American music as told by the African American musicians who created it. Todd Albright joined Jack White’s Third Man Records in 2016. \nTodd’s vigorous\, gritty and soulful performances are accompanied by stories of the masters and a deep intuitive sense of respect for craft\, providing audiences with a meaningful experience while creating a transcendent moment. One of the top blues guitarists in the world\, Todd is the only contemporary twelve string player in his genre. \nTodd began playing the blues while still a teenager\, some twenty-five years ago. Initially\, he was drawn to the sound of the finger-picked style and has since immersed himself in the foundational music and narratives of American culture. Over the years\, Todd has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Cedric Burnside\, The Wood Brothers\, Corey Harris\, Charlie Parr\, Roy Book Binder\, and Paul Geremia. Todd has been featured in major publications such as Living Blues Magazine\, MOJO Magazine\, Premier Guitar Magazine\, American Blues Scene\, and mentioned on the cover of Acoustic Guitar Magazine.

SUMMARY:4/20 with Jerry’s Dead
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY \nJERRY’S DEAD\nJerry’s Dead pays tribute to the music of Jerry Garcia. Not exactly a Grateful Dead cover band\, this quartet from Asheville\, North Carolina\, shines a spotlight specifically on songs lead by Jerry Garcia\, who fronted the Grateful Dead in an alternating fashion with his bandmates. The “long strange list” of Garcia compositions and his own wide range of cover songs comes to life with Jerry’s Dead’s exciting interpretations from this iconic catalog. Further extending their tribute\, Jerry’s Dead includes songs lead by Garcia in his many side projects throughout his accomplished career\, including the Jerry Garcia Band and his work with mandolinist David Grisman. To date Jerry’s Dead has performed well over 150 different Garcia pieces\, reinterpreting each in unique fashion to the delight of their growing fan base. \nJerry’s Dead features Tim Marsh on guitar and lead vocals and includes Dan Pederson on bass and vocals\, Gus Vigo on keys and vocals\, and Lee Kram on drums and vocals. Since their debut on June 21\, 2021\, at The Straightaway Cafe\, Jerry’s Dead has brought Garcia’s music to many of Western Carolina’s well known breweries and music venues\, including Highland Brewing Company\, The Grey Eagle\, Pisgah Brewing Company\, The Asheville Music Hall\, and The French Broad River Brewing Company\, which hosts Jerry’s Dead every Thursday evening for two sets of free music. This weekly residency has become a real draw for the band\, creating a space for vendors\, dancers\, and music lovers to commune regularly. \nOn occasion\, Jerry’s Dead has hosted some very special guests\, including Rob Barraco of The Dead\, Dark Star Orchestra\, Phil Lesh Quintet and Zen Tricksters; Lisa Mackey\, also of D.S.O.; Julian Pinelli\, who played fiddle with Peter Rowan\, a bluegrass bandmate of Garcia in Old and in the Way; and Joe Marcinek of the Joe Marcinek Band and Dead Funk Summit\, featuring George Porter Jr. of The Meters and Melvin Seals of the Jerry Garcia Band. After opening for Joe’ Marcinek’s Dead Funk Summit featuring Melvin Seals\, it was Tim’s great honor to sit in with Melvin Seals\, Joe Marcinek\, and Tony Hall of Dumpstaphunk that night.

SUMMARY:'Redemption Time' Screening & Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:On April 19\, 2026\, at 4:00 PM\, Trinity United Methodist Church will host a special screening event of Redemption Time\, a 70-minute performance film featuring poet Jimmy Santiago Baca and Asheville-based jazz violinist Christian Howes — artists whose lives were shaped by incarceration and who now give voice to stories of dignity\, struggle\, and renewal. \nDirected by David Gonzalez\, the film blends spoken-word poetry\, live jazz\, and cinematic storytelling into a powerful experience that traces journeys from trauma and incarceration toward healing\, belonging\, and personal freedom. \nThe event invites the community to reflect on themes that resonate far beyond the screen — belonging and isolation\, judgment and dignity\, harm and healing\, and the possibility of second chances.

The reception offers attendees an opportunity to connect and reflect on the film’s themes with neighbors\, artists\, and community partners. \nThis event is part of Second Chance Month\, a national campaign raising awareness about the impacts of incarceration while encouraging second-chance opportunities and community reintegration. \nCommunity partners include Deep Time AVL\, 12 Baskets Café\, Asheville Poverty Initiative\, the Buncombe County Re-entry Council\, the UNCA Prison Education Program\, and Trinity United Methodist Church.

SUMMARY:Goldpine | Music by the River
DESCRIPTION:Relax by a scenic stretch of the French Broad River in Olivette for an afternoon of harmony-driven Americana by Goldpine! \nBYOB\, BYOC (chair)\, Kids are free! \nFrom Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium to listening rooms throughout the United States\, husband-wife duo GOLDPINE has been offering their own brand of bold harmony-driven Americana to audiences large and small. WINNER of the 2022 Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest\, their distinctive harmonies are clearly a channel for their sometimes-raucous\, sometimes-reminiscent compositions. With an incredible collection of stories about life\, love\, and purpose\, their live performance is a powerful projection of everything Goldpine is about: striking vocals\, bold harmony\, and introspection into the human experience. \nAfter nearly a decade of honing in on their sound\, Goldpine released their sophomore album Two and continues to waste no time showing what they stand for. Their lead single\, “Do You Have Me\,” showcases Kassie’s powerhouse of a voice. Starting out slow\, the song cycles through a pattern of harmonious verses and a commanding chorus\, ultimately building to an instrumental interlude of southern electric guitars and a rhythmic tambourine. Two is about real people and real situations\, told through candid and passionate songwriting. “I want people to come away from this album and take an honest look at themselves\,” Ben remarks. “An honest look at motives. An honest look at connections with other people. An honest look at how we use the time we’ve been given.” Exposing the pains of severed relationships and unearthing the pursuits of love and purpose\, Goldpine is cathartic\, moody\, dissonant and relevant\, all intertwined into one. \n“…sharing a sound that’s cast in honesty\, emotion and homespun sentiment…the songs say it all\, providing clear indication that Goldpine has established a precious standard.” – Lee Zimmerman (Goldmine Magazine) \n“Goldpine is folksy and falls within the Americana genre but their musical arrangements are very innovative and eclectic.” – Melissa Clarke (Americana Highways)

SUMMARY:Delicate Steve w/ See Night
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY \nDELICATE STEVE\nTake a visit to Luke’s Garage\, Delicate Steve’s latest album\, and you’ll discover a place where sparks of creativity fly in all directions\, where melodies splatter the walls like brightly hued paint\, where no idea is too simple\, too ingenuous\, too full of childlike wonder. The L.A.-via-Jersey guitarist born Steve Marion\, whose credits include session work for Amen Dunes\, Paul Simon\, and Deradoorian\, had no grand plan for making it: he would simply book some time at a friend’s studio\, hunker down\, and play. He’s always allowed intuition to guide him\, composing his jubilantly tuneful instrumentals as he records them\, but this time\, he felt freer than ever to “keep the seams showing\, and don’t polish everything\, and keep it raw\, and alive\, and electric-feeling\,” he says. He chose the title\, Luke’s Garage\, as a tribute to his pal and sometime collaborator Luke Temple\, but also for the anything-goes adolescent innocence it conjured: the feeling of heading over to a buddy’s house\, turning up the amps\, and creating your own world. \nIn the world of Luke’s Garage\, a passage of music that feels like a sketch in progress might open into a hook so finely wrought\, so obviously right\, that you have a hard time believing you haven’t heard it before. The two passages may in fact be one and the same. There are songs that feel destined to soundtrack memories of windows-down road trips\, and those more suited to moments of hushed intimacy. A shadowy synth-pop excursion (“Light of the World”) veers into a candlelit soul ballad (“Shall Be Free”); a chugging garage-rocker (the title track\, naturally) sets up an unexpected detour into slinky disco (“There Goes My Baby”). Delicate Steve’s unmistakable sensibility\, his tone airy yet tactile\, his lines full of poignant bends and whimsical asides\, is a benevolent guide through the ever-shifting landscape\, keeping a steady hand on the wheel no matter the surroundings. He has little interest in showing off\, focusing instead on clarity\, simplicity\, and directness—more like an openhearted pop songwriter than a look-what-I-can-do shredder. \nSEE NIGHT \nIncluded in Bob Boilen’s Favorite Discoveries of 2025\, See Night is the indie-rock project of L.A.-based singer-songwriter Linda Sao\, who’s touring with drummer Cory Aboud for a duo set of cathartic rock and moody ballads infused with shoegaze\, dreampop\, and psych elements. After two self-released EPs\, Pavement’s Bob Nastanovich personally handpicked and released See Night‘s “Eloquence” 7-inch on his Brokers Tip Records. 2025 saw the release of the debut album Just Another Life\, which reflects on the many lives we can lead and leave behind in one lifetime. And like that dynamic between its contrasting themes of leaving and homecoming\, the tracklist itself is an ebb and flow\, from fuzzy-guitar-laden indie rock to orchestral shoegaze to piano instrumentals. Boilen (creator of NPR’s All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts) named the single “Gravity” one of “30 songs to fall in love with.”

SUMMARY:Rhiannon Giddens
DESCRIPTION:Rhiannon Giddens imbues her brand of folk music with miles-deep historical roots and contemporary sensibilities\, pursuing an authentic understanding of the country’s musical origins through art. \nA two-time Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning singer and instrumentalist\, MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient\, and composer of opera\, ballet\, and film\, Giddens has centered her work around the mission of lifting up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been overlooked or erased. \nAs Pitchfork once said\, “few artists are so fearless and so ravenous in their exploration” — a journey that has led to NPR naming her one of its 25 Most Influential Women Musicians of the 21st Century and to American Songwriter calling her “one of the most important musical minds currently walking the planet.”

SUMMARY:West 22nd w/ Dipsea Flower
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY\nWEST 22ND \nWest 22nd is a rock band out of Austin\, TX\, made up of friends who met at UT Austin and came together with one shared goal: to make music for the world and become the next great rock band. \nTheir sound—self-described as carousel rock—spins through genre\, emotion\, and energy without ever losing its center. It’s a term they coined to capture the controlled chaos of their music: sometimes dizzying\, sometimes grounding\, always unforgettable. \nFrom a breakout EP to a debut album that pulled in over 1.5 million streams in its first month\, West 22nd has made it clear they’re not here to blend in. Their lyrics are autobiographical\, their shows are electric\, and their ambition’s impossible to miss. They’ve already played ACL\, sold out venues in cities they’d never even been to\, and built a fanbase that screams every word right back at them. \nWest 22nd isn’t a throwback or a trend—they’re what’s next. And if you’ve ever been in a crowd when the chorus hits just right\, you already know. \nDIPSEA FLOWER \nDipsea Flower is a folk-rock band from California blending West Coast folk with modern indie energy and four-part harmony. Formed during their time at Berklee College of Music\, the group plays up-tempo\, feel-good songs with the chemistry of four close friends\, creating a warm and lively experience. Dipsea Flower’s sound bridges classic folk-rock roots with the grit of modern indie music.
