Throughout the summer of 2022, ASAP will present a series of on-farm symposiums for healthcare professionals in Western North Carolina to highlight the principles of Farm Fresh for Health. Farm Fresh for Health addresses the real and perceived barriers that influence what we eat and determine health outcomes. ASAP and community partners are using strategies and initiatives built around:
- Produce Prescriptions
- Nutrition Security
- Workplace Wellness
- Wrap-Around Clinical Health Services
- Cooking Classes
- Farm to School
- Social Determinants of Health
Each symposium will introduce key strategies and highlight examples from ASAP and the community, including projects from ASAP’s Community in Action initiative. Attendees will take part in farm tours, hands-on activities, and facilitated discussion about how they can use Farm Fresh for Health tools in their own practices to improve health outcomes. A seasonally focused farm-to-table meal (lunch or dinner) will be provided by a local food partner. Space is limited at each symposium. A $20 registration fee offsets the cost of meals and materials.
LUNCH
Catered by Mary-Martin Steele, a former employee of Winding Stair and now the owner of Mary-Martin Meals.
TOPICS
Connecting local food to wrap-around clinical health services, creating social healthy food environments in the community, nutrition security, farm to school

This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s (2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee), including the hit songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” “Head Over Heels,” and Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.”
FALLING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ROCK, JAZZ AND DYNAMIC ELECTRONIC MAYHEM WE FIND PAPADOSIO. THE ASHEVILLE, NC BASED QUINTET STRIVES TO CREATE MUSIC THAT IS STRANGELY FAMILIAR, AND CALLS ALL WALKS OF HUMANITY TO BASK IN A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE CELEBRATING THE ON E CONSTANT AND EVER CHANGING WORLD: MUSIC.
Descolada is the musical child of Asheville, North Carolina based singer-songwriter Colton Ray Nelson. Descolada’s sound treads the line between Country & Folk. The sounds of pedal steel, banjo, organ and fiddle are weaved into a bed of authentic, good ol’ Country vibes, with Colton’s sullen vocals taking listeners through a collection of heartfelt stories.
As Descolada, Colton released his debut record ‘Big Dam Foolishness’ in September 2021. It was recorded by Garrett Langebartels of Naptime Recordings in Indianapolis, Indiana. Big Dam Foolishness touches on themes of family, grief and loss, with an array of traditional instrumentation used to get his brand of melancholia across.
Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Zachary Warren, at his core, is a songwriter. As a teen, he began remedially filling journals and finding melodies to match, and now, after amble incubation, is prepared for the next step: offering.
Growing up in a home with close quarters, his music naturally settled into a place of gentleness: light finger-picking and hushed singing, so as not to disturb his sleeping family. His style began taking shape during nightly front-porch listening sessions, where he learned the power of dynamics from Sam Cooke and the almost-hypnotic effect of clever storytelling from Tom T. Hall.
Eventually, he came across songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Karen Dalton who taught living intentionally for song’s sake and poets like William Carlos Williams, who emphasized a grounded perception of the local.
Emerging from necessity, centered by family, propelled by restlessness, Zachary hopes his songs encapsulate sincere, relatable narratives.

Bikini Kill is a feminist punk band that was based in Olympia, WA and Washington, DC, forming in 1990 and breaking up in 1997. Kathleen Hanna sang, Tobi Vail played drums, Billy Karren (a.k.a. Billy Boredom) played guitar and Kathi Wilcox played bass. Sometimes they switched instruments. Bikini Kill is credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement in the early 90’s via their political lyrics, zines and confrontational live show.
The band started touring in June 1991. In addition to touring the US several times, they also toured Europe, Australia and Japan. Bikini Kill recorded and released a demo tape, two EP’s, two LP’s and three singles. Their demo tape was self-released,while their first two records came out as a full length CD/Tape and their singles were posthumously collected on CD.
Bikini Kill believed that if all girls started bands the world would change. They actively encouraged women and girls to start bands as a means of cultural resistance. Bikini Kill was inspired by seeing Babes in Toyland play live and attempted to incite female participation and build feminist community via the punk scene. They used touring as a way to create an underground network between girls who played music, put on shows and made fanzines. This independent media making and informal network created a forum for multiple female voices to be heard.
Bikini Kill reunited in the Spring of 2019 with original members Kathleen, Kathi, and Tobi who were joined live by Erica Dawn Lyle. They sold out multiple shows in Los Angeles, NYC, and London as well as headlining Riot Fest in Chicago.
There’s Always a Story represents a new chapter for Midnight North. Ten stories told through song on their most polished album to date.
Reflecting on the time since their origin, Midnight North is ready to tell the world its story. A group of multi-instrumentalists with songwriting roots in Folk and Americana, Midnight North is a mainstay on the stages of the national touring circuit. Rolling Stone hailed Midnight North as the “Best New Act” in its review of 2018’s Peach Music Festival saying the band “takes the best parts of roots music and weaves them into a tapestry of rock and Americana.”
Grahame Lesh, Elliott Peck, & Connor O’Sullivan began playing together in San Francisco. In early 2012 they played their first show as Grahame Lesh & Friends. Grahame & Elliott both brought a repertoire of original music to this new project that was a perfect marriage once the band began performing in earnest. In late 2012 the band went into the studio for the first time, tracking the entirety of their debut album End of the Night in just 2 days. End of the Night (mixed & produced by Connor) was released in June 2013 as they officially debuted the name Midnight North.
The band began touring in June 2015, with the release of their second album Scarlet Skies. That began a five year run as a touring band, playing in 36 states in front of thousands of people across the country. They released Under the Lights, their most successful studio album to date, in summer 2017. “Across all of the tracks, when you think you have the band pegged for a style or a genre, all of a sudden a chorus, or a new solo or new instrument altogether, diverts the music boldly but smartly to a new sound and feel,” said The Poke Around in their review of Under the Lights. They also released two live albums including 2018’s Selections From the Great American Music Hall which featured Bob Weir & Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead plus members of Twiddle as special guests.
A pivotal moment for the band came when Grahame met drummer Nathan Graham at a benefit show in Philadelphia in 2016. A month later Nathan sat in with the band for a show, eventually joining the band for their longest tour to date in the Spring of 2017. Bringing on the well seasoned drummer as a full-time member of the band (and learning about his banjo playing, singing, and song-writing skills) represented the next step forward as plans were made to record their fourth studio album.
In January 2020, the band went into a California studio with producer David Simon-Baker to craft their fourth studio album, There’s Always a Story, released in 2021 on Americana Vibes. As the world shut down in March and the band quarantined separately around the country, the album was finished remotely in California and Pennsylvania. As the months ticked by they let the rest of the newly written & recorded songs sink into their consciousness so that when work resumed on the album in June the entire album became even better than they could have hoped.
2022 and beyond is a new beginning, and while Midnight North longingly looks ahead, hand-in-hand with the rest of the world, There’s Always a Story will serve as a collective and reflective narrative.
Hunter Park is finding her way.
She lives with her beloved grandmother, Patricia Smith, who she calls “mom,” and great aunt Fern Tuten. They occupy a little white house in the middle of nowhere, on family land near Jacksonboro. Nearby is blind Uncle Parker Tuten, who lost an arm in a youthful accident.
“It’s very swamp-witch,” she said. “It’s my aesthetic.”
Park comes from a big Southern family, but her birth parents both are gone now. She struggled through her adolescence, attending Porter-Gaud. “It was a great education, but I hated it,” she said. She was misunderstood, rejected, the subject of patronizing talk.
But she found music and, along with it, a purpose and a safe space to express herself.
Now her band, She Returns From War, is gathering steam and attention. In just a few years, Park went from an open mic to the Spoleto Festival USA finale concert this year at Middleton Place. She’s working on a second album with some well-known local collaborators and planning a new tour.
Park calls her musical style “Cosmic Americana.” She strums an acoustic guitar and sings heartfelt, recondite lyrics, often about love and relationships, while her bandmates provide a swaying, understated, embracing sound — a simple beat, tasteful guitar licks, a rich ambiance.
Her physique belies the gentleness of the music. Park cuts a striking, self-assured, hard-to-miss figure. She’s tall, dresses exuberantly, wears her hair long and dyes the ends blonde. She came out as transgender in high school, which wasn’t easy.
“Nobody knew what that was,” she said. “They tried to be nice but in a very demeaning way.”
Park already was drawn to the stage. She appeared in theater productions and sang in the choir. Charles Carmody, a fellow Porter-Gaud student who now runs the Charleston Music Hall, taught Park how to play guitar.
Starting at about 16 years old, Park began to write songs. She spent summers during her high school years in Nashville “trying to get famous.” She posted ads, threw away some money, met some people who were not always helpful.
“But it was a good experience because I understood what was up from an early age,” she said.
When, after Porter-Gaud, she spent six months at Queens University in Charlotte, Park began to get more serious about music, and when she moved to New York City at the beginning of 2012, she spent another six months searching for opportunities — and landing one or two.
But Park is attached to her hometown and inspired by its vibrant popular music scene, so she soon returned from her northern trials and rejoined a Charleston community that provides a safe and creative niche in which she is happy to put down roots.
“I bloom more when planted,” she said.
Being transgender is a little easier now. Park hates that people still think it’s all so mysterious, or that many turn away in fear or discomfort.
“And I think they sexualize people, which I don’t think is fair,” she said. Being transgender is about identity, not sex. “There is still so much violence and fear and ignorance.” But not so much within Park’s musical and social circles. “I have a great community.”
PARI’s summer STEM and space camp programming is designed to inspire your young scientist’s curiosity, passion, and confidence to discover something extraordinary. We give campers experiences that encourage deeper thinking and problem solving skills while finding opportunities for comradery, adventure, and fun in the incredible Pisgah Forest region.
Our Mission Control camps provide simulated missions that cover the many topics and skills necessary for a successful exploration of world beyond our own. We’ll use the same kinds of processes that NASA, SpaceX and others use in developing and conducting journeys into space. These missions teach teamwork and STEM principles while giving campers fun and exciting experiences. The camp is an immersive journey amidst our historic campus which played a critical role in the first space race, and will help poise your camper for a role in the next.
Teams will research real technologies and techniques to build and launch a spacecraft, set science and research goals, and ensure everything needed is sent along. They will also need to choose a crew and care for their health and well-being, perform outreach and gain public support, and navigate funding and political challenges.
PARI’s research based camps are aimed at the camper who wants to experience what its like to be a researcher in astronomy, astrophysics, and astrobiology. Scientists and researchers with careers in space science lead this academically challenging curriculum that has been refined for nearly two decades.
Camps begin with an intense first few days of introductions to the instruments, science, and math needed to conduct research. They’ll be guided through choosing a research goal from the menu investigations we believe they can successfully conduct with radio and optical telescopes, and vast archives, provided by PARI and its partners.
The importance of both individual and team based work is emphasized while campers are guided through the research process. They’ll learn to share their progress and conclusions in the same ways expected in journals and at astronomical conferences.

The Western North Carolina Historical Association’s (WNCHA) 2021 Outstanding Achievement Award will be presented to The Railroad and Incarcerated Laborer (RAIL) Memorial Project for their work telling the story and memorializing the work and sacrifice of the thousands of incarcerated laborers who were forced to build the railroad through our region under brutal conditions. The ceremony will be held on Sunday, June 26 at 3:00pm in the Manheimer Room at UNC-Asheville’s Reuter Center. The event will also be live-streamed.
“We are excited by the many worthy projects and committed individuals who are working together to help us recognize and bring to light the ‘whole truth’ about the history of our region. We have chosen The RAIL Project for the 2021 Outstanding Achievement Award because we particularly value the coalition of historians, researchers, community leaders, and musicians who collaborated to tell the story and memorialize the work and sacrifice of the 3,000 incarcerated laborers who built the railroad from Old Fort to Swannanoa,” said Catherine Frank, Chair of the Awards Committee. “The Memorial, located at Andrews Geyser, is one part of an ongoing effort to understand, uncover and share the complete story of the creation of the railroad that transformed our region at the cost of great human sacrifice.”
According to The RAIL Project website, “The construction of the Mountain Division of the Western North Carolina Railroad is widely considered one of the greatest human accomplishments in regards to both engineering and construction ever undertaken. Many people are aware that the railroad provided the first dependable access to and from much of Western North Carolina for the rest of the state as well as much of the nation. However, most people are unaware that at least 95% of the labor which built the railroad across the Blue Ridge Escarpment was completed by inmates from the North Carolina State Penitentiary and approximately 98% of those inmates were African-American men, the majority of whom were unjustly imprisoned. The RAIL Project was created to share the true story behind this human endeavor.”
In 2021, thanks to the generosity of donors from across the state, the group erected a memorial to honor the memory of those who labored and died on the mountain. In 2022, the group is working to identify potential grave sites on the mountain and erect informational panels about the people who constructed the railroad.

DRY REEF is a group dedicated to establishing a wave of high-energy, uplifting music. Their Indie Surf sound is founded upon rhythm-driven composition, powerfully lush guitar melodies, and heart-pounding, vibrant vocals. Offering an airy alternative, Dry Reef has competed successfully in indie, jam-band, and reggae markets. These mid 20’s musicians are rapidly evolving from dreamers to decision-leaders in the industry.
Dry Reef’s 2018 ‘Alright Revival EP’ started the year with six genre defying songs followed by a 30+ show tour spanning the east coast. The EP received high praise being featured on Philadelphia’s premiere radio station, Radio 104.5, as well multiple music publications. The group released their debut album, ‘Daychange’ in fall 2018, and was widely well received amongst publications including Top Shelf Music Mag and The HummingByrd.
2019 brought the band all over the nation, touring to cities from Miami to Chicago to Denver. The band prides themselves as ‘road warriors’, covering ground across the country, hitting major markets repeatedly as well as debuting in new cities every tour. After concluding a busy year of touring, Dry Reef traveled to 20+ cities in the first months of 2020, headlining shows in Charleston, SC, New Orleans, LA, and Austin, TX. 2021 marked a big year for the band, playing shows with the likes of G. Love and Little Stranger and completing an extensive east coast tour. Dry Reef also released their EP “Be Home Soon” in late 2021.
