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

Jack’s Traditional Irish/Celtic Jam Session @ Jack Of The Wood
Dec 29 @ 3:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Stop in for the pub’s long running Traditional Irish Session each Sunday afternoon beginning around 3:30pm. Many talented local musicians come from WNC to jam away into the night – all on our pub stage! Sunday is a perfect day to enjoy a pint or afternoon Irish coffee! Slaínte!

Jack Of The Wood is still a downtown hot spot for food, brews and drink since 1997 and founders Joan and Joe Eckert who still own it, have maintained the original lively English and Irish vibe. The old-time mountain and Irish music jams continue, including a hot bluegrass jam Thursdays and brunch every Sunday. The venue extends a welcoming feeling to regulars and newcomers to this day. https://jackofthewood.com/
