Aaron Wood is quite the renaissance music man. He grew up steeped in the traditions of blues and folk music of North Carolina. His father has shared the stage with the likes of Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley and performed at The Grand Ole Opry, taking Aaron with him every chance he got. It didn’t take long before the music took hold, and he studied any kind of music he could get his fingers on.

One look at the long list of artists he has shared the stage with exemplifies his diversity and respect from his musical peers. From Jimmy Martin to Leon Russel, R.L. Burnside to Warren Haynes, Sara Evans to Carlos Santana, Aaron has played with and learned from some of those who have helped shaped music into what it is today.

Each Wednesday features a different performer joining Woody on stage.

¡Triskatrivia!
2019’s Themes: (updated as they are determined)

Feb 20 – Game of Thrones
Feb 27 – World Geography
March 6 – 80’s Music & Pop Culture
March 13 – Food & Drink

¡TriskaTrivia! is Triskelion’s Themed Trivia Night!
Starts at 7pm, and usually lasts at least an hour and a half.

Glorious Prizes:

First Place Team: $25 Gift Card
Second Place Team: $15 Gift Card

Each member of the team that wins the Very Hard Questions Round (almost always Round 3), will win a free beer.

If at least 6 people dress up in costumes that relate to the night’s theme, then the best dressed (determined by me) wins a free beer!

(that means if your entire team of 6 are the only ones dressed up, then a member of your team is destined to get a free beer)

There are six rounds, with 10 questions each, and each round will be on a different subject that relates to the night’s theme… Each question is worth 5 points.

Teams can consist of up to six players, or you can play by yourself if you have no friends.

Cheating is not allowed… no phones, no “yelling out of answers” (even wrong ones), and no handy reference materials… This is not an open book trivia night.

Come on out and show off your Brainz!!!

Due to overwhelming interest in this film screening, we have added a second viewing!

From award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib comes INTELLIGENT LIVES, a catalyst to transform the label of intellectual disability from a life sentence of isolation into a life of possibility for the most systematically segregated people in America.

INTELLIGENT LIVES stars three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities – Micah, Naieer, and Naomie – who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the U.S.

INTELLIGENT LIVES challenges what it means to be intelligent, and points to a future in which people of all abilities can fully participate in higher education, meaningful employment, and intimate relationships.

We are excited to announce that #IntelligentLives is coming to Asheville on March 12. It will be screening at The Biltmore Grande Stadium and tickets can be reserved at https://gathr.us/screening/24042

The movie screening will be followed by a panel discussion with young adult self-advocates, parents, educators, and business
leaders.
