One of our favorite, sassy little corgis, Margot, is turning 3 on February 19th! Now that she has a favorite dog bar in town, she’s demanding a celebration for all her bffs and their humans, and any Down Dog regulars! If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Margot yet, still come on by! Margot loves meeting new friends, and would love more Corgis to come for a meet up!
In addition to celebrating this amazing pup, Fi-Dough Treat Company is cooking up some special treats for Margot and friends to share!
The Southeast Corgi Rescue from which Margot, and her siblings, Dax and Macy, were rescued from will have a table with information and will be taking donations in honor of Margot. The Southeast Corgi Rescue is a non-profit, all-volunteer group of dog lovers serving the states of NC, SC and GA, working specifically with corgis and corgi mixes.
Join us on Saturday, February 19th from 6-9 for live music by Chilltonic, a genre fluid power trio that that has been crafting original music since 2016 from Asheville, NC!
Having grown up working in his folk’s Memphis BBQ restaurant, Charlie Vergos is 100% Southern on the surface, but his eclectic interests, piano playing and wandering years spent on the comedy scenes of Memphis, New Orleans, Cape Town, Chicago, Brooklyn, and now, post-pandemic Memphis have developed his act into a colorful rambling far more vibrant than a simple regional cartoon.
Charlie Began doing Stand-up in 2009, and has performed at shows and festivals all over the country, including Laughing Skull, Memphis, Blue Whale, and 10,000 Laughs, among others. His first album, Barbecue Rich, debuted at #1 on iTunes in June 2020.

“Two musical phenoms” —NPR
“(Rob & Trey are an) acoustic firestorm…” —Vintage Guitar
“Dual lightning strikes in a bottle…” —Guitar Player
“Dueling like Afghan kite fighters, and backed by upright bass, drums, percussion, B-3, and horns, the two acoustic virtuosos work the intersecting lines of blues, bluegrass, and traditional country while adding fresh moves of their own.” —Premier Guitar
With his 1971 self-titled Columbia Records release, David Bromberg emerged as the wunderkind of American roots music. The disc’s compelling blend of traditional and original material, virtuosic musicianship and iconic cover art trumpeted the arrival of a new artist possessed of audacious and uncompromising vision. Over the course of four albums for Columbia and five for Fantasy Records, and through associations with artists like Bob Dylan, Jerry Jeff Walker, John Hartford, George Harrison, the Grateful Dead, Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt, Bromberg’s reputation, repertoire and following grew exponentially. However, the incessant demands of touring finally brought the band’s recordings and shows to an end in the early 1980’s.
RESCHEDULED TO OCTOBER 1, 2022. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the rescheduled date. Deadline to request a refund is February 26, 2022.
The Dr. Bacon Live Experience is truly a spectacle to behold, bringing the audience on a musical journey that lulls and spikes in energy, caressing ears with lush beauty and whipping crowds into a tribal romp, shaking booties and shedding inhibitions. This manic versatility ensures that no matter what genre of music you identify with most, you will hear something that resonates. Dr. Bacon started playing together in 2012 on King Street in Boone as a 3 piece busking with acoustic bluegrass, folk, and 90s pop/rock/hip-hop influenced music. Several lineup changes over the years and a move to Asheville have refined and redirected the bands sound, incorporating funk, rock, soul, psychedelic and world music to Appalachian influences. The blending of several elements of these genres (often within the same song) along with unique instrumentation is the real Bacon flavor.

Buncombe County face covering requirement expires as COVID-19 metrics continue to improve.
COVID-19 metrics are continuing to improve overall. Since Jan. 18, there has been a 67% drop in new cases per 100,000 per week. The current new case rate is 386 new cases per 100,000 per week. Buncombe County is continuing to see a fairly rapid decline from week to week in new cases. Additionally, the percent positivity continues to decline and has fallen from 19.6% last week to 15.5% this week.
Hospitalization indicators are now more favorable and there has been a considerable drop in inpatient hospital beds occupied with COVID-19 from last week to this week. Last week, the percent of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 was 13.4% and is now 8.8%. As of Monday, there were 104 total patients with COVID-19 in the Mission Health System as compared to a peak of 196 patients three weeks ago. ICU utilization continues to fall and is now well below 30%.
Deaths, unfortunately, have increased. Sadly, 21 new deaths were added to the dashboard, however, only 9 of these occurred in the last week. The remaining deaths occurred in weeks previous but were delayed in being reported. This has caused the local death rate to jump to 8 new deaths per 100,000 per week. It is likely that the death rate will fluctuate for several more days or weeks as deaths are the most lagging of all the indicators.
The S&W Market is hosting a weekly Brews & Blues series featuring Mr. Jimmy & Friends. From 1pm-4pm every Sunday, there will be beer and mimosa specials in Highland Brewing’s Downtown taproom and great live blues in the building. Also enjoy delicious brunch specials from all vendors!

On his new album See You Next Time, Texas-bred singer/songwriter Joshua Ray Walker shares an imagined yet truthful portrait of a brokedown honky-tonk and the misfits who call it home: barflies and wannabe cowboys, bleary-eyed dreamers and hopelessly lost souls. His third full-length in three years, the album marks the final installment in a trilogy that originated with Walker’s globally acclaimed 2019 debut Wish You Were Here and its equally lauded follow-up Glad You Made It (the #5 entry on Rolling Stone’s Best Country and Americana Albums of 2020 list).
“The whole idea with the trilogy was to use the honky-tonk as a setting where all these different characters could interact with each other,” says Walker, who drew immense inspiration from the local dive bars he first started sneaking into and gigging at as a teenager growing up in East Dallas. “In my mind, this album’s taking place on the night before the bar closes forever—the songs are just me taking snapshots of that world, and all the moments that happen in it.”
