SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – GEOFF BARBEY\, ORIGINAL OIL ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and watch original oil artist Geoff Barbey as he demonstrates his talents. \nAfter a 25-year career in advertising and marketing\, Geoff felt the pull back to the canvas\, rediscovering a love that emerged as a child touring museums in New York City with his grandmother. He was particularly drawn to the Impressionist paintings and completely captivated by landscape artists like George Inness\, John Singer Sargent\, and all the Hudson River School painters. The way they captured the beauty of nature and the interplay of light and shadow left a lasting impression on me. Today\, his paintings are part of many private collections\, serving as a testament to the enduring power of his vision and commitment to the art of painting.

SUMMARY:APLR & Lonesome Station Present: Maya De Vitry with Lyle De Vitry
DESCRIPTION:APLR & Lonesome Station Present: Maya De Vitry with Lyle De Vitry \nSaturday\, October 17th\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room – 312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 6PM || Show 7 PM \nMaya De Vitry \nOriginally from the green rolling hills of Lancaster County\, Pennsylvania\, Maya de Vitry is a Nashville-based fiddler-turned-songwriter with a voice that glides effortlessly between tenderness and strength. Her earliest years in the music industry are represented by the 4 full-length albums and 2 EPs with roots-Americana trio The Stray Birds\, with whom she toured year-round for 7 years throughout USA\, Canada\, and Europe. After this formative chapter\, she launched her solo career with her 2019 album Adaptations\, earning praise from Rolling Stone Country\, NPR Music\, and No Depression. Since then\, she has released three more full-length albums—How to Break a Fall (2020)\, Violet Light (2022)\, and The Only Moment (2024); an EP\, Infinite (2023); and multiple singles\, all of which are testaments to her personal reinvention and creative growth. \nEnergized by the spontaneity of live performance and a revelatory pursuit of truth in her lyric writing\, Maya de Vitry returns with her fifth full-length album\, All My Faith. Prioritizing presence and grit over studio polish\, she sounds joyously at home in the alt-country and indie-folk realms. Recorded and mixed by 5-time Grammy Award-winning engineer Sean Sullivan and self-produced by de Vitry\, All My Faith is a buoyant gathering of songs brought to life by a cast of her closest confidantes and collaborators. All My Faith will be released on de Vitry’s own Mad Maker Studio label on July 24. \n“I’d like my music to feel like you are invited into a lush living forest or into a remote river canyon where suddenly you are stripped of not only modern conveniences but also modern distractions. Where you can feel the essence of your own humanity and those around you. Where suddenly a stranger’s story becomes interesting\, or where you might choose teamwork and problem-solving and creativity over dogma. Where reciprocity and care start to feel more natural than just about anything else\,” she reflects. \nFrom canyons to kitchens\, from cold lakes to highway truck stops\, the songs form a vibrant collage of joy\, sorrow\, and gut-wrenching honesty. Whether spinning an inspirational tale about hungover bachelorettes at the Nashville airport or exploring the prison of our own adaptations\, de Vitry brings a grounded confidence and quiet charisma rooted in her belief in the power of song to change us. \nLyle De Vitry \nEffortlessly moving between unity and dissonance\, voice and instrumentation\, rhythm and melody\, Lyle de Vitry integrates the comfort of folk music with the spine-shivering emotional release and intentionality of classical compositions. In so doing\, he manages to create a sound as dynamic and honest as the ocean’s eternally flowing tides or the planet’s ever-changing seasons. An acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist\, de Vitry was selected as one of ten finalists for the 2023 Telluride Troubadours contest and was named runner-up in the 2023 NewSong LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition. \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!

SUMMARY:Carsie Blanton
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nCARSIE BLANTON\nCarsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks\, chutzpah\, and revolutionary optimism. A radical folk artist in the tradition of Woody Guthrie\, her infectious melodies and lyrical wit keep listeners rapt while she conjures spirits of vaudeville\, campfire singalongs\, and punk rock. Blanton and her road-tested band deploy humor\, camaraderie\, and considerable musical muscle to enroll each audience in a rare vision of hope and solidarity. \nIn addition to writing and performing music\, Carsie works as a political organizer and activist. In fall of 2025\, she participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla\, a direct action to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza by sailboat. In early October\, after a month at sea\, she was imprisoned in Israel for five days along with hundreds of her comrades. \nSoon after\, Blanton released The Little Flame\, a song of solidarity covered widely on social media during her detention. The Little Flame features background vocals from Irish band Ye Vagabonds and Carsie’s Palestinian/New Zealander prison-mate Rana Hamida\, and appears on her latest album\, The Red Album Vol II. \nAfter two decades spent on the road\, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits\, and regularly sells out mid-size venues across the U.S. and Europe. 2026 will find her touring heavily with her own band and in collaboration with Canadian folk-punk rabblerousers The Burning Hell\, as well as continuing her organizing work with Artists Against Apartheid\, Party for Socialism and Liberation and others.

SUMMARY:Nick Shoulders
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nNICK SHOULDERS\nRefugia Blues\, the fifth album from songwriter Nick Shoulders\, is a record of big ideas and small\, intimate moments. Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music\, it finds the Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer\, singing in a voice that’s equal parts country croon\, Appalachian yodel\, and high-lonesome field holler. Shoulders’ interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country\, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse\, radical anthropology\, and generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro\, too\, making room for love songs and personal topics\, packaging humor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and accessible\, Refugia Blues isn’t just a deep dive into southernness\, but also into Shoulders himself. This is a raw\, resolute version of American country music\, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.

SUMMARY:AJ Lee & Blue Summit w/ The Cody Sisters
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nAJ LEE & BLUE SUMMIT\nAJ Lee & Blue Summit are an award-winning energetic\, charming\, and technically jaw-dropping band quickly rising on the national roots music scene. Based in Santa Cruz\, California\, the group met as teenagers\, picking and jamming together as kids at local music festivals and jams until one day\, they decided they would be a band. \n“Our roots go really deep\,” explains de facto band leader Lee. “We met when we were young kids… We definitely decided to choose each other as a chosen family band later on in life\, but in a lot of ways it was naturally just like that in the beginning.” \n“It was like one of those late at night things\,” she continued. “We were sitting on a trailer at Grass Valley” at the annual Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival held in the Sierra Nevada foothills – “Someone said\, ‘All of us right here\, we’re a band now.’ We kind of didn’t take it seriously\, but we were like\, okay\, we’ll be a band!” \nTHE CODY SISTERS \nThe Cody Sisters band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic Folk and Bluegrass in Colorado\, the United States\, and the UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with bass player Will Pavilonis\, sisters Megan (guitar\, mandolin\, vocals) and Maddie (guitar\, banjo\, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today. \nIn May of 2023\, The Cody Sisters released their self-titled EP marking a new beginning for the band. It is their first release since parting ways with their former image of “young girls in a family band” and it portrays a sense of maturity and musical understanding that reveals a new dimension to their artistic expression. They set out to explore new sounds and styles while still holding true to their Bluegrass roots\, and they have done just that. This new music is an invitation to connect\, to feel\, and to journey together through original lyrics and captivating instrumental arrangements. \nWith their brand-new Archipelago\, The Cody Sisters contineu to refine and explore a sound that is original\, exhilarating\, and heartwarming all at the same time. With strong ties to traditional American acoustic music\, they continue to stun their audiences both in the U.S. and abroad.

He’s had a fair share of significant viral moments\, but he’s also an accomplished and energetic showman on stage\, giving performances I.R.L. that leave a lasting mark. As a songwriter\, he’s both intensely introspective and sharply self-aware\, espousing the importance of self-care with sensitivity.. In this respect\, he makes timeless music with a modern mindset. Beyond playing instruments and\nsinging\, this Charlotte native with a restless\, road-worn spirit personally grabs the reins and produces\, mixes\, and masters his own songs. He has tallied nearly 100 million streams\, received critical acclaim\, and captivated sold-out rooms as a proven headliner. Creatively\, he doesn’t follow a formula. You’re just as likely to encounter a breezy chord progression in one of his tunes as you are to hear a rowdy and boisterous horn section or big screen-size\nstrings. Hitting the road\, he shined on bills with Sam Barber and Rainbow Kitten Surprise as well as Chelsea Cutler and Jeremy Zucker. Ethan’s self-produced 2025 EP\, honey honey honey\, saw him gain further traction with “get by” and “spaceman.” In the EP’s wake\, he canvased the country\, headlining his “I Almost Graduated” Tour and releasing the likes of “fool” and “sweet hunger.” Looking forward\, his artistry remains an unapologetic and unfiltered reflection of who he is. You’ll feel like you know him a little better on a series of 2026 singles for Columbia Records and his forthcoming debut album\, “YOUNG REGAN.” \nLILY KERSHAW\nThe strongest tool Lily Kershaw wields is her voice\, both in the simmering ferocity it carries and the poetry it speaks. For sophomore album Arcadia\, she is ultimately telling a story of acceptance\, both of herself and the great mystery that is the universe. Together with producer Ben Cooper (Radical Face)\, Lily takes her classic folk-tinged songs and weaves warmer analog sounds like organ\, harpsichord and guitar with cinematic force\, creating her most intimate release to date. In song and spirit\, Lily is an old soul\, but upon initial meeting she’s kinetic\, ebullient\, lively\, and kind\, quick with a joke and an infectious smile. Lily is a compulsive creator\, she jots down melodies and lyrics as she’s wandering through her days.

SUMMARY:Neal Francis
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nNEAL FRANCIS\nNeal Francis’ music is an intoxicating blend of funk\, soul\, and rock that evokes the glory days of the 60s and 70s but is undeniably fresh. His 2019 debut album\, Changes\, drew lavish applause\, hailed as “the reincarnation of Allen Toussaint” by BBC Radio 6 and lauded by KCRW and more. Francis’s acclaimed 2nd LP\, In Plain Sight\, followed in 2021. Led by top 5 Americana radio favorite\, “Can’t Stop The Rain\,” the album earned international praise from such publications as MOJO\, who wrote\, “Francis digs deep on guileless rock and soul with bold flourishes.” Accolades followed\, including a 2022 Americana Music Awards nomination and Libera Award nominations in 2022 and 2024. Francis has sold out shows globally\, shared the stage with Wilco\, The Meters\, My Morning Jacket and Black Pumas\, appeared at major festivals such as Bonnaroo\, Fuji Rock\, Newport Folk\, Lollapalooza\, and performed on national TV. Francis’s live performance was captured in 2023’s double live album & concert film\, Francis Comes Alive. The 3rd album from Neal Francis\, Return To Zero\, emerged from a kind of visionary fever dream. Equal parts heady and hedonistic\, pensive and euphoric\, the LP echoes his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and lifelong love of classic funk. Amid a relentless touring schedule\, Neal immersed himself in creating a beautiful\, strange\, all-analog entangling of timeless rock & roll and ’70s-era dance music\, merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush\, pulsating grooves. \nSAM FRIBUSH ORGAN TRIO
