Wine and Wolves! Donate to Full Moon Farm Wolf Sanctuary
Dec 25 all-day
online w/ Full Moon Farm

Full Moon Farm is an organization dedicated to the well being of the wolfdog (wolf hybrid). Situated on 17 beautiful mountain acres in Black Mountain, NC, we operate as a federally recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization for abused and refused wolfdogs who find themselves in need of love, shelter, and care through no fault of their own.

Full Moon Farm provides a safe haven for animals that cannot be placed into homes for the rest of their lives.  Our rescued wolfdogs come from animal control agencies, closed breeding situations and occasionally, an owner in crisis.  We evaluate each animal upon intake and work with them at their level of comfort.

Some animals are “hands off” and we respect their choice, as well as that of the animals that crave human interaction.  Our goal is to enrich the lives of the residents, allowing them to reach their highest potential.  Your support by donation or sponsorship makes our task possible.

Though they may be abused or neglected, homeless because of death or divorce, they are all God’s Creatures and worthy of a lifetime of respect. We are here to serve them.

DRUNKEN PRAYER + DAVID CHILDERS + THE SERPENTS W/ A. LEE EDWARDS
Dec 28 @ 8:00 pm
The Grey Eagle

Drunken Prayer + David Childers & The Serpents w/ A. Lee Edwards

Drunken Prayer transcends the bounds of “Americana”. This is music that could emerge from a highly blissed-out biker bar or at a swampy ashram.

The latest Drunken Prayer releases have been 2019’s LP Cordelia Elsewhere mixed by Mitch Easter (Let’s Active, REM) and the ambitious 17 minute long funeral-raga, Electric Daddyland from 2021.

Over the past four years Drunken Prayer has played hundreds of shows in 18 countries, and across the US at venues like the Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon Music Festival and San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall. Geer’s music has been featured on AMC, NPR, KCRW, WFMU and Little Steven’s Underground Garage on SiriusXM.

In 2021 Drunken Prayer went on a 7,500 mile tour of a the US playing a hybrid of performances; from solo live-streams at desolate roadside attractions to sold out west coast shows with a 5 piece band.

On the side, Geer is the occasional lead guitar player for the always-weird, alt-country goths Freakwater and the wild rock and soul Brooklyn artist Bette Smith. Morgan has also been touring internationally, opening for and often joining the eccentric Handsome Family.

Today Morgan splits time between Portland, OR and Asheville, NC.

“It’s Americana in the sense that America is a place of menace, hybrid vigor and unending strangeness.” – Robert Duncan, CREEM Magazine
