Upland Drive is a provocative and edgy Asheville-based band with an inspired take on a variety of genres including rock, reggae, jazz, and hip hop. Fueled by the intoxicating sound of the cello and nuanced with soulful vocal harmonies, Upland Drive creates an inviting soundscape full of rich detail, poetic lyricism, adventurous harmonies, and inventive structure. Featuring singer/songwriter/cellist Franklin Keel, vocalist Debra Darling, composer/bassist Ryan Kijanka, and drummer/trumpeter C. Scott Shaw, Upland Drive presents virtuosic and venturesome live performances with a fresh musical approach.
The Moon and You is an Americana duo based in Asheville, NC. Cellist Melissa Hyman and guitarist/banjo player Ryan Furstenberg sing in “voices that sound like they were made for one another” (Bill DeYoung, Connect Savannah). Each is an accomplished songwriter with a distinctive and memorable style. Though they bring to the table the seamless vocal blend and heartfelt lyrics characteristic of folk music, this ain’t your basic folk duo; audible influences include jazz standards, classic country, indie rock and classical music. All of these sources combine to find sweet harmony in The Moon and You’s warm and unconventional arrangements.

The school shooting on Feb. 14 in Parkland, Fla. took 17 lives. Though the discussion over how to keep students safe in the classroom is not new, this most recent mass school shooting has sparked renewed and passionate debate over mental health, gun laws, and school procedures.
Here in Western North Carolina, several school districts have seen a rise in threats since Parkland. Many have held their own forums and town halls on school safety, and several students have been charged or suspended.
We hope this Town Hall gives the public the opportunity to ask questions of law enforcement and school leaders about their roles in school safety and facilitate a healthy discussion about all aspects of school safety in WNC.
