That same photo still hangs in White Horse Black Mountain (WHBM).<\/p>\n<p>Today, with a new HVAC system whirring while we chat in the dark and dead quiet venue, it feels like peeking behind a curtain that almost never existed. A few months before Helene, a wise contractor told them to fix the roof first. The roof held against the storm. And so did the vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite Horse was founded on a principle that music is an energy that can bring people together, connect them and create community,\u201d Zach says. As a young musician in Asheville, his dad had been supported by club owners who saw his potential. WHBM was Bob\u2019s way of paying that forward\u2014offering a safe space to grow, experiment and belong.<\/p>\n<p>Zach is the director of operations at WHBM\u2014and its heartbeat. What began as a family legacy has become a nonprofit rooted in radical accessibility and cultural preservation. With deep ancestral ties to Black Mountain, he led the charge to co-found the Black Mountain Blues Festival to honor the region\u2019s rich Black musical history and ensure future generations don\u2019t just remember\u2014they feel it.<\/p>\n<p>The storm brought triple devastation. Zach\u2019s home flooded first. Waist-high water surged while he was the only able-bodied person present, protecting three frail family members. They survived.<\/p>\n<p>The devastation cemented WHBM\u2019s purpose as a nonprofit. Zach refused to furlough staff. He couldn\u2019t ask WHBM\u2019s loyal membership for support\u2014many were reeling themselves. Instead, he reached out far and wide for donations.<\/p>\n<p>With strong ties to local nonprofits, Zach and the WHBM board voted to add immediate community relief to its mission. Musicians played on the patio. Beer was poured for first responders.<\/p>\n<p>The inaugural Black Mountain Blues Festival in 2024 had prompted that crucial decision to fix the roof. Since the storm, the White Horse Community Fund has raised more than $225,000, distributing it to Bounty &amp; Soul, Hammer &amp; Heart, Black Mountain Counseling Center and Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry. They continue to raise money, with a goal of $500,000 before year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s festival returns on the storm\u2019s anniversary, offering \u201crelief\u201d in every sense of the word. \u201cMuch like the blues music woven into NC\u2019s roots, we found our strength and harmony in the heart of the community after Hurricane Helene,\u201d says Justice Rogers, board chair of Black Mountain Blues Society (BMBS). \u201cWe\u2019re all in the same soup line, but it\u2019s that shared spirit\u2014the \u2018us\u2019\u2014that\u2019s helped us rise, rebuilding not just homes, but our very best selves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White Horse is the financial partner of the BMBS, which is working with the town to host non-ticketed, fully accessible programming open to all. For ticketed events, 50 percent of net proceeds go directly to hurricane relief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2019s the music making you feel?\u201d says Zach. \u201cSometimes that\u2019s lyrics. Sometimes it\u2019s melody. Sometimes it\u2019s harmony. And sometimes it\u2019s passion. The musician might not be an expert\u2014but the passion draws you in. And it makes you feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll all feel something on September 27. The Black Mountain Blues Festival happening that weekend will be a reminder that, just like the way we rallied after the storm, we don\u2019t have to go through the anniversary alone either. You have a community.<\/p>\n<p><em>To get tickets, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/BlackMountainBlues.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BlackMountainBlues.org<\/a>.
