Jesse Daniel Edwards & Band Return
Feb 18 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
White Horse Black Mountain

Jesse Daniel Edwards is an acclaimed songwriter and radio charting artist hailing from the small mountain town of Cuyamaca, CA (pop. 60). As a child, Jesse and his 6 siblings grew up without television, internet, or significant exposure to the outside world- they went without electricity until he was age 12. He spent his time learning to sing harmony to gospel tracks and tinkering on hand-me-down instruments with his grandpa. Leaving home at 16, he spent his late teen years busking on street corners around the US and abroad. He eventually grew to perform upon the festival and university circuits full-time after a chance encounter with Al Bunetta (John Prine), sharing the stage with Morrissey, Lucinda Williams, and John Prine. His songs have been featured in radio, TV, streaming movies, video games, and 2 independent films.

He spent the lockdown working odd jobs, moving back to the American South. There, he picked up the guitar again after a near 2 year hiatus. He began reinventing his music, writing and recording in his home studio profusely, and ultimately planning to hit the stage again as the world reopened. Now he appears for a limited engagement with his 3-piece band of A list players.

Created and organized by Fair Trade companies Incite Coffee Co. and Maadili Collective, as well as Hello, Gorgeous! Professional Bra Fitting & More, all women-owned, local Asheville companies. In addition to shopping for local vendor goods, guests can donate to the Hello Gorgeous! Bra Drive for HelpMate, a year-round program to provide courageous survivors with bra fittings and gently loved, cleaned, and curated bras. The MakeHER Market event aims to honor the empowerment and enterprising ventures of diverse women locally and abroad.

All participating vendors will be fully vaccinated against Covid 19 and the event will follow the Buncombe County mandates for Covid protocols for all guests.
