White Horse Black Mountain Live Stream Music
Jun 4 all-day
Online

Are you as tired as I am of hearing about viruses, social distancing, face masks and the like? Unfortunately, I’m forced to the reality that we’re going to be dealing with this thing for a while. It’s a real menace we ignore at our own peril. So…what’s a live music venue to do?
Well, to begin with, it’s a self-answering question. White Horse, as a listening venue with audience, is closed for at least a little while longer. We miss it terribly.
Our answer has been the high quality live stream, White Horse Live. Not that we’re the only ones streaming, far from it. But our endeavor is to up the quality ante as much as we can. Clear sound, professional grade picture, five camera shots and a truly personal look at some of White Horse’s favorite artists.
In the process I think we’ve discovered something. Live streaming is really its own sub-genre of entertainment. Nothing else is quite like it, especially if the quality envelope is constantly being pushed. They’re incredibly musical. The viewer learns more about the artists since a stream is often more revealing. And I think one tends to go away with more insight into what’s been in the artist’s process, his or her heart. Not to mention you can take all this in on your couch.
We look forward to getting back in to the live-with-audience groove but we’re very happy indeed to have discovered for ourselves the intimacy and musicality of the stream. In fact, we plan to keep doing them even when we’re able to return to business as usual (you notice I avoided the  work “normal”). And who knows what may transpire in the stream department? We have ideas.

Lawn Concert with the Hot Club of Asheville
Jun 6 @ 6:15 pm – 8:15 pm
Isis Music Hall

Image may contain: 2 people, people playing musical instruments, people sitting, guitar and indoor

An evening of Gypsy Jazz: The Hot Club of Asheville – a gypsy jazz collective- is returning to the Isis Lawn concert series with a different line up and fresh repertoire. The evening will feature the music of Django Reinhardt along with a focus on more modern compositions in the Gypsy Jazz genre. The core band will feature Steve Karla and Phil Alley on guitars with Connor Law on bass and special guests. Come enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks at the Isis patio and lawn

Here’s the scoop for Saturday’s Concert!!

Things are going to be a little different due to the “new norm” / COVID19 regulations. So we ask that y’all just bear with us!!

Unlike our previous lawn shows there will not be open free lawn seating (ie blankets, bring your own chairs, etc) – We have to follow strict distancing rules right now – When things get back to normal, we promise we’ll also get back to our usual lawn series vibe.

There will be tables throughout the patio and lawn – these tables will be specifically spaced to meet distancing regulations.

These tables will be the ONLY seating.

The tables are available for DINING only – unfortunately with the limited seating we can not offer tables to those that are only enjoying a beverage.

Seating is limited so we recommend calling and making dinner
We will be adding a musicians’ fee per person in order to help support the musicians and sound engineer..

Our same delicious food will be back on the menu in a more limited selection until we can get things up and running steadily again.

We hope that you understand and support these changes as we all are working through how to navigate these times!! We’re so excited to back open for live music and to see some familiar faces!!

Please give a call with any other questions or to reserve a table!! 828-575-2737

Cheers
The Isis Crew
