SUMMARY:Ménage
DESCRIPTION:Ménage is a swing/soul/roots band. Original members Mary Ellen Bush and Sarah McDonald are now joined by Melissa Hyman to create a sound that is intimate\, harmonic\, and invokes melodic landscapes of our hills.

Sweet harmonies and distinct songwriting are the backbone of this band’s novel style. Solid stringed riffs laced with distant artful flashes of harmonica and accordion are siren songs to those lucky enough to be within earshot. The songwriting and the talent of this trio/duo will draw you in\, and bring you back to see them again.

SUMMARY:Lonesome Road Band
DESCRIPTION:The Lonesome Road Band regularly travels as a three piece group\, featuring banjo\, guitar\, and bass. In a nutshell\, the band plays country and folk\, but that wonderfully rustic country that walks you down a dirt road\, with a pleasant breeze tickling your face\, while the grasshoppers chirp. Founded back in 1995\, the band has gone through a few changes in members\, but has never lost its heart and soul – thanks in abundance to its founder Larry Keith. The charming yet stark fervency of The Lonesome Road Band’s music instantly takes audiences back to a time where songs told the world of man’s great love and great sorrows. Huddled around a vintage mic\, the group would be right at home next to the Soggy Bottom Boys in “O Brother Where Art Thou.”

SUMMARY:Holler Choir
DESCRIPTION:Led by the lyrical craftsmanship of singer\, guitarist\, and songwriter Clint Roberts\, the distinctly Appalachian\, old-time sound of Asheville’s Holler Choir combines haunting harmonies\, stirring string compositions\, and heart-wrenching ballads\, yet hardly conforms to a stereotypical genre. Call it a confluence of old-time\, Americana\, and bluegrass\, but\, by its own exceptional design\, the sound and atmosphere of Holler Choir are singular. Robert’s wordcraft and explosive vocal range is met with the dulcet clawhammer banjo plucking of long-time collaborator Helena Rose\, the gutsy timekeeping of upright bassist Joey Brown\, and the cracking leads of fiddle player Nat Copeland. Together they create playful songs which explore deep places.

SUMMARY:Alma Russ
DESCRIPTION:Alma (say it like Alamo) is a vocalist\, songwriter\, and musician out of Western North Carolina. She plays patchwork music: country\, folk\, and Appalachian roots sewn together to make something unique. Songwriting is cheaper than therapy\, and old songs make her happy. She fell in love with mountain culture and heritage – especially the music – at a young age. She remembers frolicking around the yard as a kid\, singing Scotch-Irish murder ballads\, passed down through generations; songs about old-true loves and murders. Music has taken her lots of places\, from the hometown bars\, to church\, to the highway. Music continues to give her stories to tell.

SUMMARY:Alex Krug
DESCRIPTION:Life is\, at its very core\, about exploring. We can remain stagnant and rooted in place\, or we can take a page out of the Alex Krug Combo’s playbook and dive in headfirst. The thrill of adventure looms ahead of this heart-driven blues-rock band. The Asheville-based players strike a stunningly evocative chord about life\, being an outsider\, and the kind of heartache that transforms your soul. The band includes Bill Berg -drums\, Jackson Dulaney -lap steel\, Rachel Gramig -harmony\, Zack Page -upright bass\, Kyle Samples -electric guitar. Though\, truly\, it is Alex Krug and her mountain-crushing vocals and expressive storytelling driving this industrial-sized apparatus.

SUMMARY:Micheal Flynn
DESCRIPTION:Michael Flynn is an Americana-adjacent singer/songwriter based in western NC. Though some have likened his style to that of the “Neo-pop” genre. Either way\, his music is appealing in its ability to take you on a journey. One moment you will be chuckling along with a quirky turn of phrase and the next closing your eyes to the somber tones flowing from both piano and Flynn’s vocals. There is no denying Flynn’s talent\, with songs featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless\, and not to mention his numerous awards. Lyrically strong\, intimately beautiful\, and full of varied song craft\, Flynn’s music is playful even when it hurts\, bright when it’s bruising\, and as catchy as it is clever. In short\, his music is like life\, a full experience.
