Gunslinging Parrots – (A Phish Experience) is a Phish tribute band that focuses on the band’s early content (1.0). Formed in the summer of 2020 during the pandemic lockdown, the band has since been playing weekly shows and has developed a large repertoire of the music. They focus on sounding like Phish and not just playing their music. With Natalie Allen on guitar and lead vocals sounding astonishingly like Trey Anastasio in all ways, Benjamin Falcon on drums and vocals, Daniel Combs on keyboards and vocals, and Ryan Crabtree on bass guitar, this quartet will take you to a place you may be missing or have yet to experience – a Phish concert! Two full sets of classics and improvisation in the style of the quintessential jam band. Social distancing and mask-wearing is in effect at this great outdoor venue to see live music, something we all need more of in our lives. Please feel free to dance with your group in your table area. 
The Sons of Ralph are the sons of Bluegrass pioneer Ralph Lewis. In the heart of WNC, these masters of Bluegrass are “The Sons of Ralph”. Martin and Don Lewis, Cousin Steve Moseley, and the “other brother” Ozzie Orengo, Jr. have been playing and singing the unique style of bluegrass music since Ralph’s upbringing in Madison County.
Cosmic Charlie was born in the musical Mecca of Athens, Georgia. From its summer 1999 inception, the band swiftly cemented its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue, a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands. Rather than mimicking the Dead exactly, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead’s energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition, and both the band and its audience are taken to that familiar edge with the sense that, music is actually being MADE here tonight.
“Love Bubble” is the name of the freshest harmony-driven trio in WNC! Made up of 3 of our areas finest and most sought after singers, you’re in for a nostalgic, heartwarming and whimsical time. For this show, they’re adding Beatles songs to their already eclectic mix of originals and 1940’s-1980’s cover songs. Crooner extraordinaire, Hank Bones (3 Cool Cats, The Jon Henry’s), who is affectionately known as “the man of 1000 songs” is also a master on guitar, arranging and songwriting. Best in Blues ‘Chanteuse’ Peggy Ratusz (Daddy LongLegs Band, Love is a Rose, Bygone Blues) on harmonica and percussion and scintillating vocalist, Paula Hanke (The Perfect Mix, In-the-Pocket, Love is a Rose) on uke and flute, these 3 create a quintessential musical ménage e trois!

It’s no lie, Wink & a Promise is bringing their Western Swing & Honky Tonk sound to One World Brewing West, Saturday, April, 10 from 6-9 PM. Specializing in country music from the 40s- 50s, they expand their sound to original songwriting as well as psychedelic and outlaw country.
Singing guitar solos and arranged vocal harmonies round out the driving acoustic rhythm section to meet the perfect blend of electric and acoustic sounds.
Members of Empire Strikes Brass, Hustle Souls, & Junto combine powers for this Asheville Honky Tonk Review.
Virginia-born singer-songwriter Alexa Rose creates her own style of modern folk. Her distinctive vocal sound has bits of Joni Mitchell, Lucinda Williams, and Gilliam Welch. Her earnest, well-crafted songs explore timeless topics. It is American roots music that blends some of the mountains with modern country and a little rock and roll.
Come enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks at the Isis Music Hall. Reservations are highly recommended.
Sicard Hollow is a four-piece progressive bluegrass band who formed with a mutual passion for pushing the boundaries of genre. Heavily influenced by the Grateful Dead and New Grass Revival, these young pickers bring new energy to a timeless style with a combination of fearless improvisation and instrumental prowess.
Having toured extensively around the southeast for the last year, this group of players continues to grow their sound with every performance. Having always thought of themselves as a live band, producer, Dan Davis, had his work cut out for him while producing their debut album, Secret of the Breeze, at Zac Brown and Oliver Wood’s Southern Ground Nashville. The result was a perfect encapsulation of the band’s genre-kicking tenacity. There is no slowing down for Sicard Hollow.

“Who is Virginia Man?
Are they your hometown rapper from the beach? Are they a singer/songwriter from the mountains? Are they the chef of your favorite restaurant in uptown, or your favorite tattoo artist downtown? Truth be told, Virginia Man is anyone. Virginia Man is everyone.
This Virginia Man is a 3 piece rock and roll band from Fredericksburg VA that sings lyrics from the bottom of your heart in songs from your fondest memory. Comprised of Kristian Lietzan (vocalist/guitarist), Jack Rutherford (drums), and Stephen Amoruso (Bass), their music will make you feel like coffee and cigarettes while reading your favorite author at 7:30 in the morning, reminiscing on the 3 course meal you shared with the love of your life the previous evening, they’re the silly geese, you always want a party, and they’re good people that make music for good people, and that feels good.”
