SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: The Nature Boys
DESCRIPTION:– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE \nTHE NATURE BOYS \nHailing from the Appalachian musical stronghold of Asheville\, NC\, The Nature Boys are coming in hot with their brand of bluegrass. As veterans of the acoustic music scene\, they are combining a deep love of traditional string band music with a refreshing catalog of original songs\, dazzling fans with a certain je ne sais quoi that is both genuine and relatable. Formed in the summer of 2025\, long time friends Jack\, Jesse\, and Nick found themselves once again living in the same town and ready to start a new musical project. These three had spent years touring across the world\, often but not always in the same group. With a shared love of music\, humor\, and brotherhood\, The Nature Boys was born in a way that can only be described as natural. Soon after getting the wheels rolling\, they enlisted Asheville aces Coop and Korey\, now forming one of Asheville’s premier 5-piece bluegrass bands\, The Nature Boys. The band is currently performing regionally and is recording their debut album\, to be released in late 2026. \nHappens on the following Dates:\nJul 11\, 2026\, 4:00pm to 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nAug 1\, 2026\, 4:00pm to 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)

SUMMARY:COPTIC BOUND JOURNAL WORKSHOP WITH ERIN KEANE
DESCRIPTION:Handmade journals are a joy to use for anything and everything\, any day\, every day. Coptic binding is a historical method of constructing a book by sewing folded sections of paper and attaching them to hard covers. Bookbinders use this binding for its beauty with an exposed spine\, functionality with pages that open flat\, and historical roots to perpetuate time-honored traditions.  \nIn this class\, we will create a beautiful blank journal using Paired Needle Coptic Stitch\, which is a specific form of Coptic binding that uses multiple needles and multiple threads. Your journal will have a lovely chain stitch at every sewing station\, and it will be structurally strong and highly functional.  \nAll materials and tools will be provided\, so you can arrive empty handed and relax into the experience. If you already have personal bookbinding tools and find them most comfortable\, please feel welcome to bring along. For the book covers\, I’ll have a variety of decorative papers to choose from including Nepalese Lokta\, Indian cotton\, Japanese Chiyogami. If you prefer your own decorative paper\, please feel welcome to bring along (for space and efficiency\, please pre-cut the paper to 8.5” x 11”).  \nAll skill levels welcome. I look forward to working together and reveling in the stitching goodness!

SUMMARY:Straight No Chaser Beach Bash
DESCRIPTION:If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers\, ties\, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses… think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced\, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums\, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold\, over 1 billion streams on Pandora\, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal\, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.

SUMMARY:The White Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:THE WHITE BUFFALO \nFor The White Buffalo – aka singer / songwriter / guitarist Jake Smith\, Oregon-born\, Southern California-raised – it was time to take the less travelled path; to assemble notions for studio album Number 8\, the follow-up to ‘On The Widow’s Walk’ (Snakefarm\, 2020)\, and embark on a voyage of discovery. \nOut with the old\, the organic\, the expected\, the tried; in with the new – new producer\, new studio\, new location\, no distractions\, no looking back… \nEnter ‘Year Of The Dark Horse’… \n“You think we’re a country band? A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?!” laughs Jake. “With this album\, I wanted something outside of what I’ve ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. I’m hard to put into a singular genre as it is\, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing. \n“And don’t ask me\, cos I don’t know what it is! It’s a genre-bending thing – there’s elements and influences from ELO\, Daniel Lanois\, Tom Waits\, The Boss\, circus\, pirate music\, yacht rock\, and I’m driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way I’ve never done before. \n“At the top of the pandemic\, I put the acoustic guitar on its stand\, got a synthesizer and began writing on it\, not really knowing how to play keys\, just exploring the different sounds and landscapes. In the not knowing\, it allowed me to expand my vocal melodies and compositions in ways the guitar had possibly limited.” \nWhen Jake\, flanked by regular touring / recording compadres\, bassist / keyboard player / guitarist Christopher Hoffee and drummer Matt Lynott\, crossed the threshold of East Nashville’s Neon Cross Studio\, a converted Southern Baptist Church\, he wasn’t chapter an’ verse prepared\, as usual. \nThe time before recording had been a crazy one\, so there were a bunch of loose ends to be tied (“I’m a perpetual procrastinator” – Jake)\, plus only three of the 12 songs had been completely written. Jake had maps in his head\, but most were mere bones of compositions with only a few key lyrics penned. This allowed producer / studio owner Jay Joyce – plus trusted assistant\, Jason Hall – the wiggle room to really get involved\, to guide and explore new frontiers … \nHe’s a Grammy Award-winning Producer of the Year (2018)\, has 4 CMA and 5 ACM Awards\, and when it comes to making music\, the Ohio native is never one to take the obvious route – perfect for an album featuring a dozen musical vignettes\, individual yet constant in flow; an album loosely based around the shifting of the seasons and the shifting of a relationship; an album showing off the complete scope of Jake’s song-writing craft\, from the stripped back to the fully loaded…

Born in Forsyth County and raised in Statesville\, Reid began playing guitar at a young age\, developing a deep connection to the region’s historic finger-style traditions.\nHis musical education came directly from the source. As a young player\, he spent time with legendary Carolina musicians Guitar Gabriel and Cootie Stark\, learning not only guitar technique but also the storytelling and spirit behind traditional American music. \nIn the 1990s\, Reid immersed himself in the life of a working musician\, busking on the streets of New Orleans before returning to North Carolina’s music scene. He later helped form the roots band The Blue Rags\, known for energetic performances and traditional sounds. \nReid gained international recognition when he won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis—becoming the first solo performer to win the competition. \nToday\, Abe Reid continues to perform\, teach\, and share the music of the American South\, passing on knowledge learned from older musicians and decades on the road. \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Jul 6\, 2026 to Jul 27\, 2026 and happens every:\nMondays:	6:00pm – 7:00pm
