Key Players are intermediate to advanced but beginners are most welcome and encouraged to attend to listen, learn/quietly play along. More experienced players sit in the inner circle and take turns choosing fiddle tunes or songs. Guests, families and kids are invited to listen and often sing along. This style of community play has been used to entertain and pass down music to kids for generations.
The French Broad Valley Music Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization formed to celebrate local musical heritage. “Our community. Our music. Our sense of place.”

HICKORY NUT GAP WILL DONATE A POUND OF OUR PASTURE RAISED MEATS TO FAMILIES IN NEED FOR EVERY SAMPLER BOX PURCHASED BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 2020.
Brought together by family ties and a shared appreciation for folk, pop-rock, and roots music,ย The Currysย are an Americana trio featuring Jimmy, Tommy, and Galen Curry. Theyโre relatives โ two brothers and one cousin, to be exact โ and like many family groups, their songs are anchored by the sort of elastic, entwined harmonies that only seem to exist among kin.
For their third album, This Side of the Glass (2019), The Currys teamed up with producer/guitarist Sam Whedon and engineer Stewart Myers (Jason Mraz, Parachute) to map new terrain. As ever, the bandโs three-part family harmonies provide the organic, lived-in feel of roots music, but the album aspires to a greater variety of tone, form, and orchestration than earlier releases.
This will be there 4th show on our stage in a celebration of the Christmas season.
Seated Concert with Dinner – reservations highly recommended. Please call the venue for tickets and reservations. 828-575-2737

AVL Lesbian and Bisexual Women in Their 30s and 40s Ugly Xmas Sweater and Ugly Xmas Mask Contest Shindig
Yes this is overdone and No Iโm not called it an Ugly Holiday Sweater Shindig. And I may have an ugly sweater for my dog so dog participation is encouraged.
So I just thought of a way to make this better than your average Sweater party – ugly Xmas masks! The person with the ugliest mask gets something but I donโt know what yet :)
Couple things as an update:
I changed the date thinking Thursday would have fewer people
I chose The Whale because they have an abundance of space heaters, an open air in door area, and a recently stricter mask mandate.
Note on parking – donโt park in the Zia Taqueria lot. You can park in the nearby church lot per The Whale Facebook page
