Hobby horsing is the “safe, fun and affordable way to ride horses”. Riders participating in competitive hobby horsing – a toy consisting of a stick with a model horse head – perform and mimic the movements and technicality of horseback riding in the disciplines of show jumping and dressage, then translate that to their stick horse, where judges will mark and score their rounds. For participants competing in show jumping, courses are set with tricky combinations and patterns, similar to the show jumping competitions seen at TIEC throughout the year. Individuals must register by noon on event day.

This is definitely an event you don’t wanna miss! This festival goes on July 26th and 27th! It’s full of major talent, some great vendors and of course special appearances from the Moonshiners! You never know what or who can show up at the Jam! So mark your calendars! We hit the stage on Friday 26th at 12:45pm and play till 2:15. Tickets are $10 a day and kids age 10 and under are free. This is a family event

Performances Wednesday and Thursday at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM, Friday at 8:00 PM, Saturday at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Sunday at 2:00 PM.

Celebrate hit songs made famous by Elvis Presley at the Flat Rock Playhouse in the upcoming production, All Shook Up! A famous Broadway musical hit, All Shook Up combines the hilarity of Shakespearean comedies, such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with the rock & roll music of Elvis Presley. In a musical presentation akin to Godspell and Footloose, this jukebox musical tells the story of a small-town girl with big dreams, a stick-in-the-mud mayor who has squashed any fun in her town, and the surprise visit of a leather-jacketed, guitar-playing, hip-swinging stranger. Experience the magic of rock & roll, gospel, romance, mistaken identities alongside Broadway-caliber musical numbers and hits such as, “Love Me Tender,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Can’t Help Falling In Love”.

We think Pack Memorial Library is looking pretty darn good as it celebrates 100 years of being a free public library. Technically, Pack originally opened as a subscription-based library back in 1879, and after 40 years it became a public library in 1919. After several locations around downtown Asheville, Pack moved into its current home in 1978. To celebrate, we’re hosting a party and have some exciting and original events and activities on tap.

On Friday we will be holding a block party at Pack and here’s what you can expect:

• Golden ticket giveaway. Between now and the Centennial party, golden tickets will be placed in books throughout the Pack Library. If you find one, you’ll have a chance to run through Bookends used bookstore filling a tote bag with free books.
• A library themed relay race.
• Listen to first-hand accounts about fond memories of Pack.
• Live music.
• The Hop Ice Cream Café will have special library inspired flavors.

The centennial celebration is also your chance to access rarely seen areas of Pack Memorial Library. “This will be one of the only times the public can take a tour of the top floor of Pack Memorial Library and get a peek at special collections from the North Carolina Room,

And the celebration doesn’t stop after the block party. There will be unique programs and events throughout the year that will be announced on our website, Facebook page, and in our monthly newsletter.

FREE PATIO SHOW :: The Scatterlings at The Grey Eagle

The Scatterlings are a four-piece acoustic/Americana band based in Asheville, North Carolina. The members share a fondness for songs about heartbreak, whiskey, killings, and hangings, although they promise they are actually all very peaceable people. Many of their songs are steeped deep
in local history.

The band formed when vocalist and baritone ukulele player Elfy Kornfeld, guitarist Rick Russell, and upright bassist Terrell Jones met at The Berry Pickers, a weekly jam group. Later, Elfy met mandolin player, Josh Sill, in the grocery store, because in Asheville you are as likely to find a bluegrass picker as a green smoothie in your local grocery. The Scatterlings however, sound neither bluegrassy (though there are undeniable mountain influences at play) nor green. There are folk stylings, astute songwriting, textural instrumentation, and the palpable chemistry of players who are happy to have found each other.

The Rough & Tumble are excited to begin their Howl Back Tour at ISIS Music Hall in Asheville, NC on Friday July 26, 2019 at 7PM.

The Rough & Tumble are as easy to detect as a stray dog on your doorstep– and as difficult to send home. The dumpster-folk, thriftstore-Americana duo, consisting of Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler and their menagerie of classic folk and homemade instruments, have been hobbling around the country in their 16ft camper with their dogs since 2015, taking their songs to the far corners of the US and to the weird little towns they pass along the way. Written during a time of doggedly trying despite the odds and a self-proclaimed “year of honesty,” The Rough & Tumble will release their new studio album Howling Back at the Wounded Dog. Join the pack live on their Howl Back Tour beginning in July 2019 so you can sing along when the album comes out September 6, 2019. For more information, visit www.theroughandtumble.com.

Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather.

This Broadway-style staging of Willy Wonka will take audiences on a fantasy ride into the land of pure imagination and is guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth.

“The Dirty Soul Revival unites, and quite possibly, resurrects the Southern Rock n Roll experience. This band conveys the heart and soul of Rock n’ Roll’s past that today’s radio airwaves are lacking. From Blues Rock, to Hard Rock, to Stoner Rock with a blend of Funk; SOUL is what The Dirty Soul Revival is all about! “
– David Gibson, Ocean Media

The name says it all. Music is expression and only through expression is music kept alive. Forget genres, forget the endless pandering to the masses, forget the formulaic radio vomit that has been created in the studio for the sole purpose of separating you from your dollar. This is music made for people who want to see people bleed, hear people cry, watch someone fail while wishing them to succeed. This band was founded on hate. Love. Fear.

The band was founded in 2014 by husband and wife duo Abraham and Jenni Lynn Anderson jamming in their attic. As the band evolved so did it’s members resulting in Abraham on slide guitar and vocals, Brandon Hill on lead guitar, and Wilson Wedge on Drums. The sound has changed over the years but always leans on the cornerstones of American music. Blues, Country, Rock and roll, Soul, and the unnamable line that connects music of all backgrounds.

The Dirty Soul Revival has kept a solid touring schedule since it’s inception and has shared the stage with the likes of Blackberry Smoke, The Kentucky Headhunters, Shooter Jennings, Black Stone Cherry, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and more. They have rallied a loyal fanbase in their hometown of Asheville, NC and throughout the southeast while touring across the U.S.
