Get Started on Ukulele or Guitar! (Virtual group class for KIDS)
Aug 4 @ 11:00 am – 11:45 am
Online

Image may contain: 6 people

During this 5-week online group class, Ben Brill will cover the fundamentals of ukulele and guitar and teach kids several cool-sounding songs they can play on the instrument right away. The group will even co-create an original song by the end of the class.

*For students interested in guitar, they’ll need to have a simple $10 device called a Capo to play along with the class.

This is a FUN, low-pressure way to have some enjoy music this summer. It’s great if students can attend all 5 classes, but they still can drop in any day and learn.

The event will happen weekly on Tuesday’s at 11 AM, starting July 7th, 2020. If you don’t yet own an instrument, Ben can make some suggestions. The cost of the sessions is $20 per class and can be paid upfront (all classes), OR per session.

If you’re interested in the group, send Ben a message so that you can receive the secure Zoom links to the meetings and farther instructions.

LIVE STREAM: The Travis Book Happy Hour ft Lindsay Lou

Presented by The Grey Eagle and Worthwhile Sounds
ALL AGES
The 3rd installment of The Travis Book Happy Hour live from The Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC! Live streaming on The GE’s Facebook page.

TRAVIS BOOK (of The Infamous Stringdusters)

The Travis Book Happy Hour is a 90 minute variety show hosted by Travis Book; vocalist, songwriter, and bassist in the Grammy Award winning bluegrass band, The Infamous Stringdusters, streaming live from the historic Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC. Born from his desire to bring musicians and friends together for collaboration, Travis launched the series in the summer of 2020 amidst the uncertainty of the Covid-19 crisis and a country divided. Unique musical collaborations with friends and contemporaries leads to singular moments of harmony and the occasional musical train-wreck. Part eTown, part Late Night w/ David Letterman, and part spiritual talk, The Travis Book Happy Hour dives deep into questions about the nature of our being and what it means to be here and now through music and conversation while maintaining a sense of humor and perspective in an ever-changing world.

Blue October CANCELLED
Aug 5 @ 8:00 pm
The Orange Peel

 

Ages 18+

BLUE OCTOBER, the San Marcos, TX-based band known for shimmering rock songs and haunting lyrics on albums such as 2009’s Billboard Top 15 debut, Approaching Normal, 2011’s Billboard Top Ten debut Any Man In America and the Platinum-selling Foiled, makes a triumphant return with Sway (Up/Down Records), the band’s first album in two years.

With lush, atmospheric songs such as “Bleed Out,” “Angels In Everything” and “Fear,” and the edgy rocker “Put It In,” the Texas four-piece comes back strong with a revitalized energy and a positive outlook. As singer Justin Furstenfeld puts it: “This album is about why life is so beautiful. It’s about facing fears and recognizing miracles every day. It’s about enjoying yourself and realizing that life is not something you can half-ass.”

The band began writing the album after coming off a series of tour dates in 2012. Drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld echoes his brother’s attitude. “, “The band is in a really great space now, everyone is healthy, happy, and doing well. That’s changed our point of view, and you can hear that new perspective on the album.”
