Music Calendar

We have curated a varied market of innovative vendors along comfort food, drink specials and live music with Suns of Stars, a band that blends contemporary and traditional bluegrass with a high energy jam style.

JuneBug is excited to be hosting the SART (Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre) reunion this weekend! Their alumni will be taking the stage from 1-4 pm open mic style. Performers to include Fancy and the Gentlemen, Tom Godleski and the Buncombe Turnpike and Bruce Lang among others in attendance.

Darren Nicholson Band is a group of Appalachian musicians who have common respect for and love of American acoustic music. There are GRAMMY and award-winning musicians in this band, and the members each have long track records as credible, national performers, including performances at Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry. They are known for creatively blending Bluegrass, Folk, Gospel, and Swing, into a new American acoustic music experience.

Show up and show out!!! Mitch does so much for the Mal’s family and his community. We are super grateful to show him all the love back.

Devil’s Foot Beverage Company and The Mule present Live Band Karaoke Jam hosted by The Pubsters.

Unfortunately Widespread Panic has canceled their show in Asheville this weekend – fortunately, I’m still playing what was a pre-show and I’ve added the incredible Jeff Sipe on drums, The Keith Allen (The Mantras) on guitar & Jeremy Shaw on bass for what will be a fun afternoon of jams.

Josh Daniel has been a fixture in the vibrant “Queen City” music scene for years, tirelessly refining his skills and emerging as a regional tour de force. His musical creations are a rich blend of rock ‘n’ roll, bluegrass, funk, soul, and reggae, crafting a uniquely exhilarating and unpredictable journey. He guides listeners into realms where the unexpected becomes the standard with every note.
