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.
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.
Hosted by Ed Cantrell · sign up at the bar

The bigger nights — out-of-town acts, ticketed shows, and the rare album release party. Tickets through the Your Business Bandsintown page or at the door if we have any left.
Sera releases her third LP, "South-facing Window," with a hometown stop before a six-week tour. The whole band, no opener, no curfew.
Their second swing through the room. Loud, weird country-blues. Standing room only past the bar; reserve a table early.
Newgrass meets Irish-American songwriting. Tin Cup whiskey on the bar. The kind of bluegrass night the room was built for.
Listening room set, one show only. We re-arrange the dining room and pull the high-tops. Show sells out within a week of being announced.
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.
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.
Same band, same night, mostly forever. Every Wednesday is Devon Holler. Every Sunday is the Carolina Sisters. The room runs on the residency schedule.
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.
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.
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.
We book six months out. The stage is small (12'×16'), the room sounds great, the green-room is the booth on the right. We pay a guarantee plus the door, every show. We do not book cover bands and we do not book pay-to-play.
