Porch 40 + Sanctum Sully + The Company Stores: “Radio Edit Tour” at The Grey Eagle

Join us as Porch 40 tours in support of their Sophomore album, “Radio Edit”. Produced by Robert Mercurio from Galactic and recorded at The Parlor in New Orleans, “Radio Edit”, according to Garret Woodward of the Smoky Mountain News, “will ultimately push the Jackson County group to the next level. This is what it takes to break into the national touring scene. The record itself runs right up to the line of being slick, but without ever coming across as too polished, a perhaps subconscious sentiment Porch 40 delivers in its live shows where the tone aims to be as inclusive and jovial as possible.”

Porch 40 formed in 2012 at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. They play a style of highly Progressive Funk Rock that has won over an eclectic audience everywhere they perform. Incorporating elements from R&B, Jazz, and Funk with the best of the Rock, Progressive, Indie and Metal, they cross over genres with ease.

Metaphonia

Formed in 2014 in Boone, NC, Metaphonia is the prog-funk brainchild of bassist/vocalist Alex Golden and keyboardist Mike Runyon. What started as a trio betweenGolden, Runyon, and drummer Jason Burch, swiftly turned into a head-spinning chamber orchestra of jazz-rock madness. With a current lineup also featuring Erik Brandt (guitar), Blake Bostain (trumpet), Zack Wheeler (saxophone), and Joshua “Bizket” Upchurch (percussion), Metaphonia boasts some of the finest and most diverse talents in the high country. So, if funky, complex, and seldom-apologetic, satirical lyrical content sound up your crooked alley, Metaphonia is just the nonsense for you!

Mycorr

The name Mycorr is derived from the word Mycorrhiza –
A mycorrhiza (from Greek μυκός mykós, “fungus”, and ῥίζα rhiza, “root”; pl. mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular host plant. This connection has been proven to host communication between plants across entire forests and acts much like a neural network.

This innovative production project is known for heavy hypnotic grooves and unique sound design cleverly merged with live synthesis and instrumental/vocal collaborations. Creating a live experience full of psyphonic vibes to make a different type of dance music tied with deep emotion and motivating energy.

Brain child of Sean Baumann it was born just 2 years ago in Asheville NC and making moves fast in the scene opening for artists such as Random Rabb, Break Science, Psymbionic, DrumSpyder, Desert Dwellers, and Kalya Scintilla

Music is the most powerful form of magic. It has the power to heal and realign the mind. I hope the sounds sooth and inspire you like they do for me.

ABOUT ASHEVILLE DRAG BRUNCH:

Asheville Drag Brunch is the littlest big show in town! The event is designed to showcase local and guest drag queens, promote local restaurant businesses, and support local charities.

The show happens at multiple venues, is fast-paced family-friendly fun, and is designed to raise funds for non-profit organizations. These local groups rotate and are advertised with each individual show.

A ticket to brunch ensures a seat at a table or bar, the meal, and a beverage. Remember to bring tips for the queens as this is the main way they raise additional money for the local non-profit.

During the glitter-adorned affairs, patrons howl, clap and cheer as the queens channel celebrities with spot-on lip syncing and sky-high heels. And wherever you look, there is cause for celebration. Lively groups of different genders, races and ages whoop it up for all sorts of special occasions, from birthdays to bachelorettes to anniversaries, and even divorces.
