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.

SUMMARY:Dirty French Broads

This lively crew plays just about everything with strings and – when the weather’s right – the occasional kazoo.
