Infinite Jangle Tour REAL ESTATE
May 24 @ 8:00 pm
The Orange Peel
Support:
Water From Your Eyes

Ages 18+

We asked an AI language model to write a bio for our band in the voice of Forrest Gump:
“Well now, let me tell you a little somethin’ about Real Estate, that there American indie rock band. They started back in 2009 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. You see, they got this real nice sound, all laid-back and melodic. It’s a mix of indie rock, jangle pop, and dream pop, just like a sweet little tune floatin’ in the breeze.
Real Estate was put together by a fella named Martin Courtney, who sings and plays the guitar. Then you got Julian Lynch strummin’ another guitar, Alex Bleeker holdin’ it down on the bass, Matt Kallman ticklin ’those keys, and their drummer, Sammi Niss, keepin’ the beat. They all came together and made some mighty fine music.
Their first album, self-titled ‘Real Estate,’ came out in 2009 and folks loved it. They said it had these sun-soaked melodies and lyrics that make you think about life. After that, they put out another album called ‘Days’ in 2011, and it made ’em even more popular. People really took a likin’ to their laid-back style.
In 2014, Real Estate released ‘Atlas.’ Oh boy, it was somethin’ special. The music was so pretty, like a dream. It had all these fancy instruments and thoughtful themes. They just kept on goin’ with albums like ‘In Mind’ in 2017 and ‘The Main Thing’ in 2020. Each time, they grew and showed their skills as musicians and songwriters.
Real Estate has been all over the place, playin’ their tunes for folks far and wide. They’ve been to North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. People can’t get enough of their easy-goin’ melodies and heartfelt lyrics. It’s like takin’ a stroll down memory lane, thinkin’ ’bout life and all its twists and turns.
Real Estate’s sixth full-length album, ‘Daniel,’ well, they cooked it up in a lively nine-day spree down in RCA Studio A in Nashville, hangin’ out with the famous producer and songwriter, Daniel Tashian. In 11 catchy tunes, they kinda blend the wild excitement of their early days with the wisdom that comes with bein’ all grown up.
Now, here’s the funny part. While they were in the middle of cookin’ up this musical feast, all five of the Real Estate folks were sittin’ around chattin’ about what to call the album. And you know what someone said? “Daniel.” Yep, just like a regular human name. Why? Well, maybe it was a nod to the producer, Daniel Tashian. Or perhaps a tip of the hat to The Replacements’ Tim.
Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, it’s the mark of a band that’s been around the block long enough to take their music seriously without takin’ themselves too seriously. Ain’t that somethin’?”

Digital: ASAP’s 2024–25 Local Food Guide
May 25 all-day
online w/ ASAP

ASAP’s Local Food Guide, the annual free publication for finding local food and farms, is updated for the 2024–25 season. This definitive resource lists hundreds of Appalachian GrownTM certified farms, farmers markets, restaurants, groceries, artisan producers, and more throughout Western North Carolina and surrounding counties in Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina. A digital version of the print Guide may be viewed at asapconnections.org/guide.

 

In addition to listing content, the 2024–25 edition features stories that highlight the variety of farming across the region. Delia Jovel Dubón of Tierra Fértil Coop (pictured on the cover) talks about creating a sense of belonging for the Hispanic immigrant community in Henderson County. Lyric and Noah East of Wild East Farm in McDowell County detail the journey through their first full year of farming and how they’ve arrived at “a rough draft that’s working.” Kaci Nidiffer of The Liar’s Table in Avery County shares how scaling up and opening several retail spaces have created stronger connections with customers and community. Rounding out the issue are recipes from farmers at Two Trees Farm (Sustainabillies), Lee’s One Fortune Farm, Two Stones Farm + Mill, Carringer Farms, and Terra Lingua Growers.

 

“The Local Food Guide is such a beautiful way to share the stories of this place,” said Sarah Hart, ASAP’s Communications and Engagement Director. “To emphasize that sense of place, listings in this year’s Guide are organized into nine subregions with a short intro on what makes local farms in each area unique.”

 

Look for the Guide at farmers markets, visitors centers, libraries, groceries, restaurants, and other partner businesses throughout the region. Copies of the Guide are also available to pick up in the lobby of ASAP’s office in Asheville at 306 W. Haywood St., Tuesday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact ASAP if you need help locating a copy in your area or if you are interested in distributing Guides at your business.

 

In addition to the print Guide, ASAP maintains the online Local Food Guide at appalachiangrown.org. This database, with more than 1,400 listings, is updated throughout the year and is searchable by products, location, activities, and more.

 

Funding for the Local Food Guide was made possible in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Agricultural Marketing Service, National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Beginning Farmer Rancher Development Program, Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, and Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program. Support was also provided by Dogwood Health Trust, the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, and Asheville Regional Airport.
