The Asheville Tool Library is having another Free Tool Sharpening Event on Saturday, Sept 1st from 11am-3pm! There will be library volunteers on site waiting to sharpen your dull tools. While they’re confident they’ll be able to sharpen most tools that people bring in, they do reserve to right to turn away any tools they feel cannot be safely or properly sharpened. For example, serrated blades are difficult to sharpen.

You can bring your pocket knives, kitchen knives, axes, chainsaw blades, pruning shears, lawnmower blades or any other dull tools and they’ll be ready to send you home with sharp, and therefore safer, tools!

Our last syringe pick-up event was so well attended that we’ve decided to do it again!

Come by Kairos West on Saturday to be trained in safe needle pick-up by folks from Steady Collective. After the training, head out into the neighborhood with fellow volunteers to get syringes off the street! If you would rather package naloxone kits, stay behind and the folks from Steady will show you how to do that too!

All supplies for this event will be provided. Please wear closed toe shoes if you want to be a part of the pick-up. See you soon!

“One of the most promising rootsy women artists in the Americana scene.” –No Depression

Underhill Rose will be performing in the historic theatre at the Asheville Masonic Temple on Sept. 1, 2018.

Doors: 6:00 pm (Box Office)
Bar: 6:30 pm
Show: 7:30pm

Underhill Rose Biography:
Harmonies. Soul-touching lyrics. Eye-catching stage presence. Underhill Rose has become synonymous with beautiful music, charming personalities, and rippling success. In the last four years, the duo from Asheville, North Carolina has independently released two albums in the top of the Americana Music Association Airplay Chart and Roots Music Report Chart, all the while garnering critical acclaim from around the globe.

Get to know the joyful soaring voice of Molly Rose and her acoustic guitar and the distinctive styling of Eleanor Underhill’s open-back banjo and salty-blues vocals. Their close harmonies and charisma make most think they are sisters, and with their song-centered original compositions, Underhill Rose creates music that is real and inspired. See them on PBS Television, hear them on nationally-syndicated radio and at live performances, and you will know how Underhill Rose has carved out a distinctive place in the Americana-folk scene.

For their most recent release, the authentic, live sound was captured in their home state over two starry nights. Featuring original songs from their three studio albums, Underhill Rose’s Live covers the depth and joy of nearly a decade of musical partnership. The stripped-down sound highlights the soulful harmonies that originally brought Eleanor and Molly together to play music. By removing the bells and whistles of past recordings, Underhill Rose reveals the fundamental elements of their sound: a powerful partnership in full bloom.

The successful completion of two crowd-funding campaigns raised over $50,000 and freed the group to independently release two noteworthy and charting albums. Their sophomore release, Something Real, peaked at number 18 on the AMA Chart, was named an AMA Top 100 Album of the Year, and claimed a spot in the top 25 of the EuroAmericana Chart, Freeform Americana Radio, and The Alternate Root “Roots 66” charts. In 2015, the band’s tertiary album, The Great Tomorrow, released to wide acclaim, reached the Top 30 of the AMA Airplay Chart once again, and took hold at number 1 on The Roots Music Report’s Progressive Bluegrass Album Chart for over nine weeks. R2 Magazine notes, “The Great Tomorrow is simply top-class country music, seasoned beautifully and seamlessly with earworm hooks and bluesy edges, all delivered with instrumental panache and supremely confident singing.”

Molly Rose and Eleanor Underhill’s friendship is the result of a chance meeting at a makeshift performance of John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery” between classes at Warren Wilson College. Their affinity for the music they make has kept them together for more than 10 years. Underhill Rose formed in 2009 and has since blossomed into an internationally-recognized band known for blending aspects of Americana, R&B, country, and bluegrass into an authentic sound that is all their own—“Heartfelt Country Soul.” Armed with a fresh sound and an extraordinary ability to blend a multitude of musical genres, Underhill Rose will touch your heart.

Opening Artist:

Hannah Kaminer Bio:

Kaminer is a folk/Americana artist based in Asheville, NC. Raised in small towns in western North Carolina, her songwriting ranges from echoes of Appalachian and bluegrass traditions, to classic country and even rock. Her cloudless voice and silvery
melodies are a haunting pairing with gutsy, gut-wrenching lyrics about loss, love, and home.

These two popular forms offer endless possibilities of expression to the clay artist.

There will also be a heavy emphasis on handle making, as we seek to create forms that are both beautiful, and easy to use.
