~ Live music ~

Seven nights
of live music. Always.

We've put a band on the corner stage every night since 2009. Bluegrass, alt-country, blues, songwriters, the occasional gospel choir on Sunday. Most shows are no-cover. We pay the band a guarantee + the door, even when the door is small.

THIS WEEK ON STAGE.

Updated each Monday at noon. Music starts at 9pm sharp on weekday nights, twice on Saturdays. Reserve a table early on Friday + Saturday — they go fast.

Folk band
May 17 · Saturday

Mountain Heart + The Westies

— Two-band bill · sets 8pm + 10pm

Newgrass meets Irish-American songwriting. Tin Cup whiskey on the bar. The kind of bluegrass night the room was built for.

The Songwriters Round

— Four songwriters in the round · 8pm

Four writers, eight songs each, in the round. Hosted by Mara Hartley. Quiet show — no chatter past the bar — and the most magic we put on a stage.

Bluegrass band
Jun 14 · Saturday

The Pilgrim Brothers

— Old-time & bluegrass · sets 8pm + 10:30pm

The Pilgrims grew up in West Asheville and have toured the world. They come back here once a year. We sell tickets on a Tuesday and they're gone by Wednesday.

WEEKLY REGULARS.

Same band, same night, mostly forever. Every Wednesday is Devon Holler. Every Sunday is the Carolina Sisters. The room runs on the residency schedule.

Every Wednesday

The Devon Holler Band

— Banjo, dobro, fiddle, upright

The house band. Started by our cook's son and his college roommate in 2014. Played 522 Wednesdays straight. Started showing up to soundcheck in matching boilersuits four years ago and never stopped.

Every Sunday · Brunch

The Carolina Sisters

— Three-part gospel harmony

A trio out of Hendersonville, all sisters by marriage rather than blood. They sing eleven to two while we pour mimosas and serve trout and grits. Worth the drive even if you never order food.

Every Monday · 9pm

Bo Tinsley on the porch

— Solo acoustic & front-porch picking

Bo retired from a career playing rhythm with most of the bigger names you know. Now he plays the porch every Monday — covers, originals, requests if you're polite. Tip jar on the post.
