Eulogy Presents: Setting with Wind Cults
Dec 17 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Doors 7PM || Show 8PM

$20.94 Event Details and Tickets

Setting is Nathan Bowles (solo/trio, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) on strings, keys, and percussion; Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors, Peeesseye) on harmoniums, synthesizers, and piano zither; and Joe Westerlund (solo, Califone, Sylvan Esso, Jake Xerxes Fussell) on drums, percussion, and metallophones. Hybrid of acoustic and electronic instrumentation

Wind Cults is the Asheville trio of Brett Naucke (electronics), Thom Nguyen (drums), and Adam Lion (vibraphone). A sonic mishmash of cacophony, harmony, density and repetition, the group embodies musical extremes which branch in every direction.

None shall perish. The Eulogy has been written. It has taken many months and many talented minds in and around Burial to get here, but we now have shows at our Buxton Avenue music venue in Asheville’s South Slope. Affectionately named, ‘Eulogy’, the space is located in the building adjacent to our original taproom, above the current Bottle Shop. Check out our future offerings at eulogyavl.com
