“Bring Back The Heartbeat”
Dec 2 all-day

Asheville’s music scene is born of age-old traditions, nurtured by a spirit of independence and the muse of the mountain landscape. Here you’ll find our rhythm is proudly rooted in old-time mountain music, but it’s our full spectrum of innovative musicians who truly define our sound. Asheville offers a lively, and perhaps unexpected, experience for the musically-minded traveler.

Through the Bring Back the Heartbeat campaign, IamAVL is partnering with local venues and establishments to offset their costs to get our musicians back to work. Independent Arts and Music is a 501(c)3, so donations can be tax deductible. iamavl.com/music-industry-relief-fund

SAVE THE DATE | Yarn Holiday Ball @ The Grey Eagle
Dec 3 all-day
Saturday December 21 | Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 8:00 PM
Yarn is an Americana, Alt-Country, Rock and Roll band founded in 2007 by Blake Christiana. Yarn evolved from its earliest days as a bar band in New York, NY to an outstanding roots band that’s shared stages with some of the biggest names in the business. You could say that Blake is the music and the music is Blake; that’s how deeply he inhabits the songs he writes and plays. You can hear him struggling with his feelings, whether it’s on a skittering country shuffle or on a mid-tempo folk ballad or a straight-ahead rocker.
Over the years, musicians have rotated in and out of Yarn, but drummer Robert Bonhomme and bassist Rick Bugel, along with Christiana, have remained the core of the band. Yarn has definitely brought people together with their music; their devoted followers call themselves the “Yarmy,” and for the last 4 years the band has hosted a three-day music festival, Yarnival, that attracted hundreds of fans to Troy, Virginia. Along the way, Yarn has gathered accolades from festivals, The Americana Music Association, landed on the Grammy ballot four times, and placed in the top five of the AMA album charts on more than one occasion.

CHARLIE TRAVELER PRESENTS: Mike Dillon & Punkadelick ft. Brian Haas @ One World Brewing - West
Dec 5 – Dec 6 all-day

WHERE: One World West, 520 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806
WHEN: Thursday December 5, 2024
TIME: 9pm
GENRE: Punk Jazz / experimental / jam
TICKETS: $12 adv. / $15 d.o.s. Event Details and Tickets

Mike Dillon is a musical innovator and provocateur whose punk-jazz hybrid is virtuosic, intense and, most of all, groovy.

As a sideman, the ace vibraphonist has collaborated with Les Claypool, both on Primus releases and the bassist’s solo work. He’s also worked with Rickie Lee Jones, Ani Difranco and the Dean Ween Group, to name a few. Over the years, Dillon’s own bands have ranged from the funk-punk Billy Goat to the jazz-rocking Critters Buggin to the percussive party of Hairy Apes BMX.

His latest combo, Punkadelick, as the band’s name suggests, doesn’t specialize in mellow cocktail jazz — far from it. The trio plays with an intensity and power as much influenced by Bad Brains as Charlie Parker.

“There’s something very daring, dangerous and dark about the Doors’ music. We’ve tried to capture that. We found it challenging to approximate their chemistry and alchemy. I believe that we got it right!” – Jonathan Pearlman
