Back South is a power trio–a fusion of roots music genres leaning heavily on Piedmont Carolina styles mixed with the flavors of the Delta and North Mississippi, country blues along with a nasty bite of the Swamps. The music is high energy gasoline driven, shake rattle and roll, guaranteed to make ya move, boogie-woogie throw-your-glass-in-the-fire kind of music.

A one-night only performance, by a very funny human.
Art Sturtevant is a smart, funny comic with the interests of a 20-year old and the body of a middle-age man. His observations on pop culture, being a father and how you can change so much and so little over the span of decades have cracked up audiences all over the East Coast. Art has performed at Laughing Skull, Comedy Zones, Side Splitters, The Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, Cola Con Comedy Festival, and — back in the day — NYC’s Comedy Cellar, Catch a Rising Star, Sweeps and Triple Inn. Art’s a contributing writer for Asheville Disclaimer, a weekly satire publication.

Offenbach | Overture to Gaîté Parisienne
Saint-Saëns | Cello Concerto No. 1
Poulenc | Gloria
Berlioz | La Marseillaise
Vive la France! Masterworks 4 celebrates the work of four very distinct French composers. Offenbach’s Overture to Gaîté Parisienne, inspired by the amorous high spirits of the City of Lights, sets the scene. Cellist Daniel Kaler, winner of the Payne Prize, dazzles with Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto. Then, the Asheville Symphony Chorus takes the stage to present Poulenc’s delightful Gloria, and the program closes with Berlioz’s grandiose La Marseillaise.

Craig Sandberg is leading a relatively new project entitled Grendel’s Mother.
They play medieval and Scandinavian influenced party music and have dubbed themselves “medieval rave” music. The band itself varies from a 2 to 4 piece plus a dancer.
We’ve talked them into coming in and playing in the Taphouse as a smaller version of the band, and then coming back this summer to rock the beer garden stage.
Come out and experience their medieval rave music for yourself.

Downtown Hendersonville! Come party with us!
Free Music – 3 Sets
https://youtu.be/K9Mh3jzM8Cw – Live Video from the Orange peel
Modern Strangers is an Asheville-based band playing high-energy, toe-tapping, and melodic rock music! A 4-piece combo of journeymen musicians, they take their varied influences and form them into a JanglePop juggernaut. Hard to pin down their sound, they’ve heard comparisons from The Beatles to The Pixies to early REM to Elvis Costello to The Kinks. Catchy songs, vocal harmonies and just the right amount of edge make these guys a fun night whether they’re playing originals or quirky covers.

Couple’s Therapy consists of two real-life married couples who do improv together. Soothe your souls and revive your relationship with them!
Brothers Grimmprov is an improv collaboration between the two brothers who actually wrote the fairy tales you all know and love. For years they have been in hiding and let others take the credit for their work but have now decided to perform their stories to the public.
Friends of Mr Waffle is a big personality duo. Expect these friends to take on an adventure filled with syrupy sweetness and fluffy little anecdotes. What does that mean? Only Mr Waffle knows.
Show starts at 9pm, doors at 8:30pm and we recommend arriving early to grab a beer and seat! Only $5 and you can get those tickets early >> https://aicasheville.com/
