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:The Moon and You
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, The Moon and You is a charismatic husband-and-wife team. Melissa Hyman plays cello\, Ryan Furstenberg plays guitar and banjo\, and both sing in “voices that sound like they were made for one another” (Bill DeYoung\, Connect Savannah). But whatever you might assume based on their gorgeous vocal blend and heartfelt lyrics\, this ain’t your basic folk duo. With a rotating cast of talented friends to add unexpected instrumentation to their lineup\, The Moon and You never plays the same show twice. This ever-evolving\, expandable and collapsible model leaves the band constantly reinventing itself in ways both surprising and satisfying.

SUMMARY:Michael Reno Harrell
DESCRIPTION:Michael Reno Harrell is an award winning songwriter\, as well as a veteran storyteller and entertainer\, and he’s from the South. One could compare Michael’s performances to his granddaddy’s pocket knife: well worn and familiar feeling\, but razor sharp\, and with a point. His original songs and stories have been described as “Appalachian grit and wit” but\, as his writing shows\, Michael’s awareness is much broader than the bounds of his boyhood home or even the Southern Experience. Between the approachable\, feel-good nature of his music\, and vivid story-telling that leaves you smiling\, Michael creates an auditory experience that has to be witnessed in person.

SUMMARY:Lyle de Vitry
DESCRIPTION:Much like life itself\, the music of Lyle de Vitry comes in cycles. With his intricate\, ambient fingerpicking guitar style and suede-soft baritone voice\, de Vitry mesmerizes audiences into meditative serenity. Immersed in rich and nuanced harmonic composition\, listeners are gently drawn into the here and now. Effortlessly moving between unity and dissonance\, voice and instrumentation\, rhythm and melody\, de Vitry seamlessly integrates the comfort of folk music with the spine-shivering emotional release and intentionality of classical compositions. In so doing\, he manages to create a sound as dynamic and honest as the ocean’s eternally flowing tides or the planet’s ever-changing seasons.

SUMMARY:Michael 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.
