Same As It Ever Was
Love The Talking Heads? Same As It Ever Was does it right. This 7-piece outfit of Knoxville musicians came together out of their mutual love and respect for the music of the Talking Heads in the summer of 2004 and have not looked back since. Over the years the band has performed extensively, and now nearly have the entire Talking Heads catalog at their fingertips; They bring the excitement and energy of everything from ’77 to Naked, and all the B-sides in between. Same As It Ever Was strives to maintain the integrity of the Talking Heads’ groundbreaking music, while bringing their own panache to the game. Whatever you’re your level of familiarity with Talking Heads, you can expect to have an unforgettable time with Same As It Ever Was!

April B. & The Cool
“Expressive vocals and impressive guitar work are just part of what makes April B. & the Cool special. Drawing from hip-hop, soul, rhythm and blues, funk, rock, soul, jazz and reggae, April Bennett puts it all together in sultry and alluring fashion. The band features players familiar to Asheville audiences — members of The Marcus King Band, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band often turn up — but Bennett is the undisputed star of the show.” – Bill Kopp, Mountain Xpress
April B. & The Cool is a soulful concoction of funk, jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. You can expect some of the most shining, silk-smooth, soul- stirring vocals you’ll ever have the pleasure of hearing, paired with super hip and wonderfully dynamic musical arrangements.

JAZZ is PHSH
JAZZ IS PHSH is an instrumental tribute to Phish inspired by the popular tribute to The Grateful Dead, “Jazz is Dead”. JAZZ IS PHSH is a collective of prominent musicians from the Jazz and Jam scenes that have come together in their appreciation of Phish music to reimagine Phish in an instrumental, jazz fusion setting!
Founded in 2015 by The Chase Brothers, Adam Chase and Matthew Chase, JAZZ IS PHSH has quickly become a world renown tribute to Phish, attracting some of the most influential musicians in the jazz and jam scenes to take part in this collective approach to paying tribute to one of the most important and influential bands in Rock and Roll history.
With the music of Phish being both largely improvised as well as highly composed, the framework of Phish’s music is the perfect vehicle for exploring in an instrumental setting. The compositions are both challenging and adaptive. Jazz IS PHSH provides an exploration of Phish music unlike anything else.

All About Tea & Tea Tasting – with Miles

A tasting menu of 6 different teas, curated by Miles and Dobra Tea, will showcase the differences found in the flavor profiles of tea – which is determined by the way the teamaster prepares the harvested leaves.
Tea plants (Camellia sinensis) will be available for purchase at our Garden Center, and Miles will discuss the possibilities of cultivating tea in WNC.

Learn to move better, feel better, and reduce the risk of injury in this fun class that’s perfect for all fitness levels.
**Please wear clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty.**
The MovNat System focuses on teaching the most effective, efficient and adaptable ways to move in various “real world” scenarios. Such scenarios provide numerous variables including differences in: terrain, distance, weight, weather, surfaces, etc. Each variable increases the complexity of any movement skill that may be required of us. MovNat aims to equip each practitioner with the ability to readily adapt to these variables, while staying mindful, efficient, and effective with every movement. The MovNat system emphasizes the cultivation of movement skills over conditioning- focusing on developing holistic functional movement patterns. The MovNat training system starts with efficiency as its foundation. As the quality of each movement skill improves, the mover can progressively increase other aspects such as intensity, volume, and complexity. Practicing these skills with progressively higher demands allows for greater and greater conditioning, better preparing each mover with endless opportunities for adventure.
