The Blue Ridge Music Trails is hosting a benefit concert at White Horse in Black Mountain on November 14, 2024, at 7 p.m. We invite you to attend and support the traditional music artists in Western North Carolina post-Hurricane Helene. 

Headlining the show will be Unspoken Tradition, a chart-topping quintet hailing from Western and Central North Carolina. Their music is influenced by their lives and roots in traditional and new grass music, as is evident in their quality catalog of unique songs. Several of their singles have topped the Billboard Bluegrass and Bluegrass Today charts. They took the stage at the 2024 IBMA Bluegrass Live! concert.

Unspoken Tradition has also been busy dedicating time and raising money for their home state the past month. We’re excited to have them play this event, bringing more joy to the region and providing hope and levity as we focus on lifting up this region’s rich and enduring music scene.

Tickets will be available in advance and at the door. Due to the impact of Tropical Storm Helene this is a pay-what-you-can event. A portion of the proceeds will support the Blue Ridge Music Trails artists, with the other portion going towards charities of White Horse’s choice. Together, we continue to support our communities. If you cannot make the event but would like to help, please consider donating to the Blue Ridge Music Trails at: https://www.blueridgemusicnc.com/donate/

For nearly two decades at clubs across the country, and as the host of three hit podcasts, Nikki Glaser has honed her shockingly honest, no-holds barred style of comedy, solidifying herself as one of the funniest voices in comedy today.

Glaser is currently on the road with her global THE GOOD GIRL stand-up tour, which kicked off in January 2023 and will continue through September 2024. Upcoming, Glaser returns to screens on May 11 with her highly anticipated second HBO comedy special, SOMEDAY YOU’LL DIE and the new CW series LOVERS AND LIARS, which she hosts and executive produces. Her first HBO comedy special, GOOD CLEAN FILTH, which was nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Comedy Special.

Nikki took her love of reality TV to the next level by starring in, and executive producing, the E! half-hour reality sitcom WELCOME HOME NIKKI GLASER? Uprooted from her fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle, Nikki returns to her hometown of St. Louis where she embarks on a hilarious and often uncomfortable journey of self-discovery. Unfiltered, relatable, and unapologetically herself, Nikki navigates friends, family, and romance as a homegrown local celebrity.
Nikki was a standout at the Comedy Central Roasts of Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis, and Rob Lowe, which led to her guest-hosting JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! and hosting the inaugural edition of the 2021 MTV MOVIE & TV AWARDS: UNSCRIPTED, which earned her stellar reviews.  She also had memorable film and television roles in Judd Apatow’s TRAINWRECK, NBC’s AP BIO and INSIDE AMY SCHUMER, amongst others. In November 2022 Nikki was a triumph coming in third place on the ninth season of the hit FOX series THE MASKED SINGER.

Nikki has multiple stand-up specials and late-night tv appearances in which she jokes about her most humiliating moments as a woman in the modern world. Nikki’s past and current struggles with anorexia, depression, and anxiety are fair game in both her stand-up, and in-depth interviews with THE HOWARD STERN SHOW, WTF with MARC MARON, CONAN O ́BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND and THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE. She has become a complete open book on mic for the laughs and as the empowering voice for women that she yearned for as a confused adolescent.

To close out our 2024 Hometown Sound Music Series, Hendersonville Theatre presents a special concert, BonaFide, featuring Paula Harris. BonaFide lives up to its name, delivering an authentic and soulful blend of Funk, Blues, and Soul that’s as genuine as it gets. As Rootstime Magazine in Belgium puts it, BonaFide “combines the passion and conviction of blues with the sophistication and complexity of jazz.” Their music is a groove-driven, funky, and delicious mix of original material and creatively reimagined classic soul and funk covers.

The powerhouse group is led by award-winning vocalist Paula Harris and acclaimed bassist Mike Frost, both of whom bring their diverse musical backgrounds to the forefront. What makes BonaFide truly special is that every member is a band leader in their own right: Paula Harris (Vocals) from Northern California, Mike Frost (Bass) from New York, Iliana Rose (Keys & Vocals) from Los Angeles, and Mike Gibilisco (Sax & Vocals) from Tampa. Together, they create a world-class sound that’s fresh, vibrant, and undeniably original.

To close out our 2024 Hometown Sound Music Series, Hendersonville Theatre presents a special concert, BonFide featuring Paula Harris. Just like the definition of the band’s name, BonaFide is “authentic, sincere or without artifice.” The band dishes out music that is “genuine & real” from organic instruments and no special effects. It is the result of a collaboration by vocalist Paula Harris and bassist Mike Frost, both musicians with jazz backgrounds and a love and appreciation of soul, funk, and blues. These two powerhouses have come together to create world-class original music and imaginative covers.

The six-member group sprang from the first time Harris and Frost worked together. The chemistry was so blatant, that they immediately began working on arrangements. Featuring technical precision, BonaFide offers a blend of multiple genres. Approachable with broad appeal, the group is influenced by many American music genres including groups like Stuff, Anita Baker, and Post Modern Jukebox. BonaFide is, simply put, great music from musicians at the top of their game, sophisticated, fresh, and fun!
