Beth Snapp is a pop infused roots artist from Northeast TN. Her style flits between folk, bluegrass, pop, early R&B and jazz, all with an ease that connects the listener to complex emotions that fall on every day moments to create an “I’ve been there before” sensation.

Road-tested troubadour. Relentless songwriter. Greg Klyma is keeping the American folk tradition alive with his enduring themes, articulate and amusing stories, and populist ideals. He rolls in off the road, pulls out a guitar, and proceeds to take us back to the basics: family, love, gratitude, and laughter.

Welcome to Comedy Island, a land where laughs are made and relationships are tested!

This month we’re bringing the island to Asheville, NC at Fleetwood’s to put some of favorite locals through a night of trial by laughter!

Comedy Island is a comedy competition based around the reality TV show Survivor. The show begins with six comedians who will go through five unique rounds to test their range of writing. The rounds will consist of ‘pun-liners’, impressions, roasts, crowd work, and stand up. After each round, the crowd votes for a winner for that round. The chosen comedian is granted immunity, and the remaining comedians must vote someone off of the show. This process will be repeated for the following rounds until there are two comedians left. The final two comedians each perform a five minute set, from which the crowd chooses a winner.

This month’s contestants:
Art Sturtevant
Emily Walsh
Kelly Morgan
Cody Daniel Hughes
Moira Goree
Hunter Roberts

Doors open at 7:30pm, show begins at 8pm.

In this age of quotidian nihilism, of pervasive and boundless jadedness, you might be forgiven for being taken aback when someone says to you: “I hope you’re happy.” It’d be easy to load that phrase with acerbic meaning, to interpret it foremost as coming from a place of spite and sarcasm. And nine times out of 10, you’d probably be right. But in the case of seminal musicians Blue October, the statement is disarmingly sincere.

Joe Purdy

A few years back, if someone had started giving him some lip in the middle of a gig, Joe Purdy might have left the stage and beat a little sense into the guy. Nowadays, he’s more likely to calm everybody down, assure the loudmouth that he was a welcome and important part of his audience and through words and warmth talk him into sitting back down and join everyone else in enjoying Purdy’s extraordinary music.

What has happened to Joe Purdy? Some might call it growth, although he’s already grown a lot in wandering from his Arkansas home state to Los Angeles, and from there toward and beyond further horizons. Along the way he’s recorded a baker’s dozen worth of albums. His songs have turned up on numerous TV shows and film soundtracks. He even received a special request from Pete Townshend to join him onstage. Purdy said yes.

Even so, in recent years the singer, songwriter and self-described “hillbilly” has come to see the world and his role in it somewhat differently. His new views chart the direction on his latest album, Who Will Be Next? which plants its feet deep in the tradition of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and others while addressing immediate transgressions.

Purdy’s determination to honor the giants of American folk while applying his unique skills as writer and passionate vocalist reveal just how much he has achieved and evolved as an observer and participant in our times. In addition to his recording and touring, Joe recently made his acting debut starring in the new feature film, American Folk, which won a Best New Film award at the Cleveland International Film Festival. It will be released nation-wide in 2018.

The Collider hosts a monthly climate and environmental film series open to the public. This month, on Monday, April 29, 2019, The Collider is excited to present “Hidden Rivers of Southern Appalachia” in collaboration with Freshwaters Illustrated. The doors of The Collider will open at 6:30pm and the film will begin at 7:00pm. A Q&A discussion with one of the filmmakers, Rachael Hoch of NC Wildlife Resources, and Steve Fraley, Biologist, will follow the screening. This movie screening is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10/person or $20/family. Light refreshments and beer from The Collider’s official beer sponsor, Hi-Wire Brewing, will be provided. All proceeds will benefit the Thomas R. Karl Internship program.

About the Film

Ten years in the making, “Hidden Rivers” is Freshwaters Illustrated’s newest feature film and photo exhibition that explores the rivers and streams of the Southern Appalachian region, North America’s most biologically rich waters. The film follows the work of conservation biologists and explorers throughout the region, and reveals both the beauty and vulnerability of this aquatic life, and how many people are finding ways to protect it. “Hidden Rivers” was directed by Jeremy Monroe and David Herasimtschuk of Freshwaters Illustrated, with music by Humming House. A trailer for the film and a selection of photos from the touring exhibit can be viewed online at www.hiddenrivers.org.

About Freshwaters Illustrated

Freshwaters Illustrated is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 2003 dedicated to educated diverse public audiences about the life, study, and conservation of freshwater ecosystems through illustrative science-based efforts, and to provide illustrative resources and services to scientists, educators, and media specialists. Freshwaters Illustrated produces education media that explores freshwater ecosystems and the people who work to understand and conserve them. Their films, videos, photos, and social media content feature aquatic natural history, science, conservation issues, and cultural values surrounding freshwaters, and enlighten audiences about the imperilment of the freshwater ecosystems.

Support The Collider’s Internship Program

The Thomas R. Karl Internship Program was established in honor of Tom Karl upon his retirement as Director of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. This program provides semester-long internships for undergraduates seeking to enter this growing field. All proceeds of this event directly benefit this internship program and will fund more opportunities for students to work with the climate solution providers that are members of The Collider.

Parker, Paxton or Piper? What should the name of our new mascot be for our Safety Around Water (SAW) program at the Reuter Family YMCA? Donate to the Annual Campaign to push your name to the top. We will announce the name May 1 at our next SAW program. Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. The YMCA’s Safety Around Water program can help make sure children learn essential water safety skills, which can open up a world of possibilities for them to satisfy their curiosity safely. Safety Around Water is not a traditional swim lesson. This eight-day course, taught by a certified instructor, teaches children two sets of skills that will reduce the risk of drowning and give them confidence in and around water. Support giving children skills for a lifetime today. https://www.ymcawnc.org/programs/swimming/drowning-prevention

Experience America’s Largest Home® in an Entirely New Way
February 8–May 27, 2019

For the first time, reproductions of clothing from the Vanderbilts’ own wardrobes are displayed in the settings in which they were originally worn: the elegant rooms of Biltmore House.

Guided by Biltmore curators, Oscar®-winning costumier John Bright and Cosprop, London meticulously recreated fashions favored by the Vanderbilts and their guests at turn-of-the-century celebrations known as house parties.

A new custom Exhibition Audio Guided Tour created for this exhibition combines realistic 360° sound techniques with stories told from the perspectives of those who lived and worked at Biltmore in the early 1900s; this special component is what makes this exhibition a unique, immersive audio-visual Biltmore experience. As you hear the stories and witness scenes previously seen only in century-old black-and-white photographs brought to vivid, colorful life, you will feel as though you were attending A Vanderbilt House Party.

Purchase online 7 days or more in advance and save $10 per admission!
