On Saturday, November 22, Continuum Art will come alive with an evening of extraordinary live music featuring 2025 North Carolina Music Hall of Fame inductee David Childers.

Fresh off his Hall of Fame recognition, Childers, one of the state’s most respected singer-songwriters, will bring his signature blend of heartfelt lyricism, folk storytelling, and Americana energy to the intimate stage at Continuum Art.

The evening begins with performances from an impressive lineup of regional talents: Cody Gentry, Dylan Walshe, and A. Lee Edwards, each adding their own distinct voice to a night celebrating the rich musical heritage of the Carolinas.

“David’s music captures something truly timeless about North Carolina, its heart, its stories, and its spirit,” says event promoter Mike Burnette, owner of the 1898 Waverly Inn. “We’re honored to host him and these incredible artists for what’s sure to be one of the most special nights of the year.”

Hendersonville Theatre welcomes back one of the top 10 Celtic bands in the United States, Tuatha Dea, for our Hometown Sound Music Series finale! Don’t miss this unique and unforgettable experience born of a family drum circle that will draw you into the music!

Hendersonville Theatre welcomes back one of the top 10 Celtic bands in the United States, Tuatha Dea, for our Hometown Sound Music Series finale! Don’t miss this unique and unforgettable experience born of a family drum circle that will draw you into the music!

Tuatha Dea is a progressive Americana band with a Rock edge, a Celtic-Appalachian influence, and a fearless attitude for pushing the boundaries of modern roots music. Their music thrives on a perpetual energy backed by expansive vocal ranges, steady, driving percussion, electric instrumentation, and the melodic sounds of acoustic instruments like fiddle, guitar, penny whistle, bagpipes, and even didgeridoo. From Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the band’s eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and nonconventional instruments to create a real evolutionary musical crossover that defies category and genre! Combining primal rhythms, melodic and ethereal ballads, and screaming guitar riffs with an Appalachian/Celtic vibe, Tuatha Dea inspires audience participation and has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland with their bold blend of mainstream rock, mountain drumming, and Appalachian blues to produce a truly unique sound that has a universal appeal.

The band’s members are also a family! Rebecca and Kathy Holman (Vocals), Danny (Damasqhs) Mullikin (Multi-Instrumentalist), Tesea Dawson (Multi-Instrumentalist), Chris Foxfire Bush (Multi-Instrumentalist), Brandon “B” Mullikin (Electric Guitar), Brett Maney (Percussion), Jeremiah Waldon(Bass), and Sarah Faith (Guitar) promise to deliver an unforgettable performance!
