Bob Sinclair and the Big Deals is a North Carolina-based acoustic band with 15 years of performing Sinclair’s original, upbeat, gypsy-jazz music. Using acoustic instruments this ensemble could be playing in a Paris café or a barn dance – comfortable, a little sophisticated and more than a little fun! With musical range that extends from playing the famed Bluebird Café to regional brew fests to jazz concerts to municipal events to being showcased at Merlefest – Sinclair can be counted on for fun music and great performances.

We welcome them back to the Silver Fork stage!

“Dance is the Art of the Body. Dance is used as a medium to present all the emotions of the body”

Studies show that moving our bodies daily increases our quality of life , and uplifts our spirits.

Dance and self expression are powerful tools for creating more empowered relationships with ourselves , and other people.

I’ve never met one person who doesn’t like dancing (even if it’s only in the privacy of their own home).
In this workshop we will be exploring movement, breath, sensual movement, understanding self expression, and diving deeper into our relationship with movement our bodies and sensuality.
There is NO dance experience required!
This is NOT about perfect technique , this IS about getting to know our bodies ad exploring ways we can create a stronger bond with ourselves.

This workshop will be 3 hours long.

The Price is $50, reserve your spot here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=330572&stype=-8&sView=day&sLoc=0https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=330572&stype=-8&sView=day&sLoc=0

Wear clothes you feel beautiful in, but you can still move around and roll around in.
We will discuss what our beliefs about sexuality and sensuality are- how that applies to our own bodies.

My intention for this workshop is to help open you up to yourself in a deeper more loving and accepting way.
Exploring how we relate to our bodies on a whole and how that is helping us , and how that may be hindering us.
I truly cannot wait to see you all there and break loose together.

More than just a “tribute” to Lynyrd Skynyrd a tribute to the man that defined it. Artimus Pyle has said ” If it wasn’t for Ronnie, no one would know my name.” Since his departure from Skynyrd in 1991 , Artimus Pyle’s career has led him down an amazing path of solo records and projects culminating into one the finest tributes to southern rock royalty. The Artimus Pyle Band is a high energy, true to the music, and true to the era rock group. One of the few that is on the road today. Artimus Pyle, Brad Durden, Jerry Lyda, Dave Fowler, and Scott Raines are not only a group of friends and contemporaries but a group with some of the most seasoned musician in the southeast. APB delivers hit after hit after hit, night after night after night. From Freebird to Sweet Home Alabama, APB gives fans the best of Skynyrd with one of men who made it!

Walidah Imarisha, author of “Angels with Dirty Faces,” will address questions on the role prisons serve in our country, the possibility of envisioning a world where people are safe and where there is accountability without prisons, and whether our prison system actually causes rather than reduces crime.

“There was a time I believed prisons existed to rehabilitate people, to make our communities safer. . . . When I saw for the first time (but not the last) a mother sobbing and clutching her son when visiting hours were up, only to be physically pried off and escorted out by guards, I knew nothing about that made me safer. This is the heart of this country’s prison system. And the prison system has become the heart of America.”
—Walidah Imarisha, from the Introduction.

“Angels with Dirty Faces: Three Stories of Crime, Prison and Redemptio”n is a book on criminal justice issues released in 2016 by AK Press / Institute for Anarchist Studies.

Walidah Imarisha has taught at Portland State University, Oregon State University and Southern New Hampshire University. She serves as a public scholar with the Oregon Humanities’ Conversation Project, facilitating programs across the state on topics such as Oregon Black history, alternatives to incarceration and the history of hip hop.

Walidah co-founded the “Human Rights Coalition,” a Pennsylvania organization led by prisoners’ families and former prisoners. She also directed the 2005 Katrina documentary “Finding Common Ground” in New Orleans.

The Mothlight & Worthwhile Sounds Present…
Mountain Man
w/ Jake Xerxes Fussell
at The Masonic Temple
80 Broadway St, Asheville, NC 28801
Saturday, March 23rd
Doors 7pm, Show 8pm
Tickets: *Sold Out*

Mountain Man’s new album “Magic Ship” is now available via Nonesuch Records. Order your copy here: https://ambientmerch.com/collections/mountainman

Mountain Man is a creature growing from the mouths of: Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, Amelia Randall Meath.

The music of Mountain Man is nestled in the tradition of American folk, but shoots like diamond dust out of the nest into the high, wide atmosphere. Their songs are shaped by three searching voices, encompassing harmonies and a shared belief in and love of the world. They are mutually moved to sing by their love for people, and for trees, birds and mountains, the ocean, the night, the moon, and being a woman. They all love the rambling, rumbling, rolling summer….

And if you’ve seen them perform, you know that they meet that mission, night after night” – Ami Worthen, Mountain Xpress.

A seasoned veteran of recording and performing, Desmelik states of his career thus far, “I have recorded in state of the art studios and bedroom closets. I have performed on big festival stages for numerous people and in lonely corners in dive bars for three people and the bartender. Either way, what you get is me with my eyes closed getting lost in these songs. I have chosen the life of a songwriter and musician not because I wish to, or have to, but because I want to and need to. It is my therapy and in this regard the door to my sessions are open.”
