“The richness of the Great Smoky forest has been the wonder and admiration of everyone who has traversed it.” – Horace Kephart, Our Southern Highlanders
On Saturday, November 14, the Western North Carolina Historical Association (WNCHA) and WNCHA Vice President Geoff Cantrell will lead an interpretive walking tour of Kephart’s life in downtown Bryson City.
Join us as we trek approximately 2 miles around the downtown landmarks of Bryson City that Kephart witnessed and wrote about during his residence here. This walk, featuring several interpretive stops, will take approximately two hours. We will learn about the life and legacy of Horace Kephart as it intersected with the people and environment here in town and around Deep Creek. We will also admire the amazing views of the Bryson City Cemetery, where Kephart is buried overlooking the town, the mountains, and the park he helped to establish. We will meet at 10:00am at the Bryson City Cemetery and park in the designated parking spaces. From there, we will walk down into town and stop at points of interest along the way. We will conclude with the uphill walk back to the cemetery to see the graves of Kephart and other familiar names in his writings.

Asheville, NC-based BrassFunkRock band Empire Strikes Brass has a lot to say with a big sound. Their brand new 11/11/19 release is a 10-track album entitled “Brassterpiece Theatre” and it lives up to its name. Chock-full of serious groove from a thumping rhythm section highlighted by lush horn arrangements played by a thick horn section, this 2nd studio album is a funktacular dive into the band’s compositional roots as well as its’ creative and collaborative soul. There’s a lot of depth in these original tunes that speak volumes to ESB’s evolution.

A Wednesday tradition at Oklawaha Brewing Company
The French Broad Valley Music Association: FBVMA jam session is focused on regional fiddle tunes and songs. Carol Rifkin and John Mitchell cohost weekly, bring an instrument to play or just enjoy the music, its free, kid friendly, donations encouraged.
Key Players are intermediate to advanced but beginners are most welcome and encouraged to attend to listen, learn/quietly play along. More experienced players sit in the inner circle and take turns choosing fiddle tunes or songs. Guests, families and kids are invited to listen and often sing along. This style of community play has been used to entertain and pass down music to kids for generations.
The French Broad Valley Music Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization formed to celebrate local musical heritage. “Our community. Our music. Our sense of place.”
Tart, Tangy, Smooth, and oh so lip-smacking Sweet! Aaah yes, time to praise the almighty summer sippin’ thirst quencher, being served straight up G. Love and Special Sauce style, ice cool and always refreshing. On their second release for Brushfire Records, the Philly boys offer up “Lemonade”, a series of soul drenched tracks pouring out their blues infused hip-hop, which people have been trying to label for years. The best advice – don’t try to tame it or claim it; its simply their sonic trademark, instantly recognizable and addictively delicious.
The Magnetic Theatre is thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the wildly popular and hysterically funny game show, where questionable people give questionable answers to questionable questions. From the creators of The SuperHappy Radio Hour, this live show features some of Asheville’s best comedians and improv performers competing for laughs, with a game show format in the tradition of Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me, and celebrity trivia shows of the 70’s and 80s, like Match Game and The Hollywood Squares. Please join us for ALL the fun, at The Hi-Wire Big Top in Biltmore Village, for two unique performances of this crazy show.
