Asheville Mountain Boys/Squirrel Gravy
Friday August 8th
By their name, you know where they are from, and by their sound, you know what they are about. The Asheville Mountain Boys are on a mission to capture not just the style but the spirit of traditional bluegrass. Asheville, NC has long been known for great music and its roots in bluegrass go back to the founding of the genre (Bill Monroe’s first broadcast performance as the Bluegrass Boys was at Asheville radio station WWNC in 1938) A group that firmly stakes its claim to the tradition of the music from the area, The Asheville Mountain Boys spring onto the scene with a thought,” What happened to bluegrass?” It’s not a disparaging one that condemns current styles in the genre but rather asks, “Why do we love this music in the first place” and answers with an approach that is true to the originators of the genre in the sense of both style and philosophy. Bluegrass is raw emotion, excitement, drive, and authenticity. It is not sanitized or compromised but a reflection of the lives of those who play it. It’s storytelling that follows a throughline of tradition.
Opening: Squirrel Gravy is a ragin', 5 piece bluegrass band from Madison, Wisconsin.
Start time 9pm. $10 cover, 21+
09:00 PM - 12:00 AM

Van Orman and Helwin
Thursday September 4th
Van Orman and Helwin play songs of love and loss, from the devout to the degenerate, with inspired vocal harmonies accompanied by an array of instruments including Viennese guitar, gourd banjo, fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, harmonium, concertina, harmonica, and jaw harp.
John C. Van Orman and Adam Helwin are singer-songwriter neighbors in the bucolic countryside of southwestern Wisconsin’s Driftless region, a place of unglaciated hills, fertile soil, and clear-running trout streams where they craft poetic songs to sing alongside traditional folk tunes and selectively curated covers.
John has roots in American and British traditional material including ballads, cowboy songs and sea shanties. Adam was raised in church choirs and molded by the DIY ethos of punk rock. These seemingly disparate backgrounds entwine to produce extraordinary music with elements of country, blues, traditional and psych-folk, restoring the original edge missing from so many interpretations.
