TRAVIS BOOK (of The Infamous Stringdusters )
The Travis Book Happy Hour is a 90 minute variety show hosted by Travis Book; bassist, songwriter, and vocalist in the Grammy Award winning bluegrass band, The Infamous Stringdusters, streaming live from the historic Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC. Born from his desire to bring musicians and friends together for collaboration and conversation, Travis launched the series in the summer of 2020 amidst the uncertainty of the Covid-19 crisis and a country divided. Faced with a cascade of existential questions about the nature of life and of being, Travis sought an outlet for inquiry, and individuals to help him dig deeper into what it means to be a musician and a creative being in the context of an ever-changing world. Unique, spontaneous musical collaboration with friends and contemporaries leads to singular moments of harmony and the occasional musical train-wreck… The Travis Book Happy Hour is his attempt to shine light into the darkest corners of our lives; to dive deep into the nature of our being and emerge bathed in the love, happiness, grace, and gratitude that’s available to us all, and hopefully, to make some beautiful, meaningful music along the way.

Let’s Wine a Little!
Calling on ladies to join the NDY Asheville Women for socially distanced wine and/or wine tasting at plēb urban winery. plēb has a big 5000 sf space so we will be able to spread out comfortably. I hosted a last minute event here in the past so I know the facility. I think if we plan on 4 to 5 of us at each table, we will have the room we need to feel comfortable with meeting.
Update: Increased capacity since we will be multiple small table groups as opposed to one big group. They are adjusting their winter hours to accommodate us for the evening.
They also now have an outdoor space so that could be an option if it’s warm enough OR for any attendees who just don’t want to meet indoors. Check their website for visuals. A flight is $12. Also available by the glass and bottle. We can request a guided tour of the winery. We did this last time; it was very interesting.
There was no food nor food truck last visit.
Don’t forget your mask. Cheers!
What we’re about
I started this group to bring together women in their 50’s who want to gather with other like-minded women. We’re dealing with a lot of issues at our age, and having other women who can understand us, support us, and laugh with us is so valuable! This group is open to any woman in her 50’s: married, single, gay, straight, black, white or any other color. We will gather, eat, drink, laugh and commiserate when necessary. I am hopeful many of us will make meaningful friendships along the way.
