The Travelling Pilsburys’ Benefit for Asheville Guitar Bar
Feb 5 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Isis Music Hall

Come out for a night of fun music with a local band that has been performing for many months outside at the Asheville Guitar Bar in the River Arts District. As the winter weather prevents outside shows and the Guitar Bar is not able to hold any indoor concerts IMH has offered the space in our larger room to host the show.
Mark Goldthwaite, Brad Hodge, Greg Hodge, Dave Wendelin, and Joe Daugherty, 5 of the Asheville Guitar Bar’s locally infamous singer/songwriters, are “The Travelling Pilsburys”. Their easy listening style showcases brilliant vocal harmonies and beautiful, original songwriting. Brotherly ribbing and storytelling keep the evenings’ entertainment light and fun. They seriously can’t help but think themselves funny! It’s not true that they’re only in it for the dough!! This is an incredibly entertaining variety show of easy listening and comic relief.
Come enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks at the Isis Music Hall. Reservations are highly recommended.
Here’s the scoop on our Fall and Winter Concerts!!
Things are going to be a little different due to the “new norm” / COVID19 regulations. So we ask that y’all just bear with us!!
Unlike our previous concerts, these will be a dinner and a concert format – We have to follow strict distancing rules right now until things return to normal.
There will be tables throughout the music hall and on the balcony – these tables will be specifically spaced to meet distancing regulations.
These tables will be the ONLY seating.
The tables are available for DINING only – unfortunately with the limited seating we can not offer tables to those that are only enjoying a beverage. Seating is limited so we recommend calling and making dinner
Our same delicious food will be back on the menu in a more limited selection until we can get things up and running steadily again.
We hope that you understand and support these changes as we all are working through how to navigate these times!! We’re so excited to back open for live music and to see some familiar faces!!
Please give a call with any other questions or to reserve a table!! 828-575-2737
