Hops for Hunger: Beer City Comes Together in July to Help Feed WNC
Jul 6 all-day

Throughout the month of July, you can enjoy a great local craft beverage and help support MANNA’s mission to provide food to families across WNC.

Many of us are busy planning summer vacations, gatherings, and picnics ahead of July. But for over 100,000 Western North Carolina residents busy trying to make ends meet to provide for their most basic needs, that kind of celebration is out of the question.

That is why the nationally recognized WNC beer scene is collaborating again, and raising the stakes, to bring awareness to the issue of hunger in Western North Carolina. Over twenty local breweries are joining forces to help support MANNA FoodBank’s mission to end hunger for thousands of families across WNC through the 2nd annual Hops for Hunger campaign, July 1st – 31st.

Hops for Hunger is made possible through support from Asheville Ale Trail, and MANNA’s annual sponsors: Preserve Communities, Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, Anurja Interactive, The Cantina at Historic Biltmore Village, Mast General Store, and Lamar Advertising.

THE 2018 BREVARD MUSIC CENTER | LEONARD BERNSTEIN FESTIVAL
Jul 9 all-day
Brevard Music Center

By highlighting these and other works, Brevard Music Center is presenting some of Bernstein’s greatest output and showing a wonderful variety of his music that is at the core of American classical music experience. We spend so much time celebrating the works of European masters like Beethoven, Mozart, Mahler, and Dvôrak. And those works all deserve to be celebrated. But they must stand alongside Bernstein, Copland, and Gershwin—these masters gave American classical music its voice.

It’s wonderful for Brevard to be joining in with orchestras and institutions all around the world in celebrating the birth of one of the most compelling musicians of our time…or any other time.

Bowling For Soup
Jul 11 @ 9:00 pm – Jul 12 @ 12:00 am

There’s a place called The Sweetwater Tavern just off the main square in Denton, Texas. You’ve perhaps not been there, but if you’re familiar with Bowling For Soup, the larger than life Texan band who have delivered infectious power pop music to the world for over two decades, you’ll most certainly know the name. Why? Because rather than trying to break away from their hometown, BFS simply took their hometown with them and into the hearts of millions of people all over the world. It’s this lovable honesty that has served them well since forming back in 1994.
Everyone can relate to what BFS sing about, everyone can relate to the characters in the band – singer Jaret Reddick, guitarist Chris Burney, bassist Erik Chandler and drummer Gary Wiseman – we want to be their friends, heck, as far as they’re concerned, we ARE their friends!
Everybody LOVES Bowling For Soup – it’s plain to see!
2016 sees the release of the brand new, fan funded album, ‘DRUNK DYNASTY’, follow up to 2014’s Greatest Hits collection ‘Songs People Actually Liked – The First 10 Years’ and the first album of new material since 2013’s perhaps darker, reflective album ‘LUNCH.DRUNK.LOVE’. The new eleven track album is bursting at the seams with undeniable feel good, smile inducing pop rock goodness such as ‘Hey Diane’ and ‘Stop Doing That’ right through to epic, hands in the air anthems like the epic ‘Catalyst’. There are no boundaries for where they go next because they will always do it with honesty and a smile. That way, whatever the outcome, they can never fail.
