Floating Action, the ongoing musical masterwork of North Carolina’s Seth Kauffman, defies easy categorization. Kauffman’s heady lo-fi synthesis of folk, surf, blues, funk, and other world (or otherworldly) influences, has yielded a rich back catalog, one worthy of far more attention than it typically garners.

With Shabang, out via ANTI-, comes the debut album from Scott McMicken and THE EVER-EXPANDING, and he’s made some of his freest and most adventurous music yet: a wonderfully collaborative collection of songs that feel lived in and true, fusing a broad range of influences from rock, folk, and country to jazz and world music.

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’. Check out all of our future offerings at eulogyavl.com

She flows in and out of folk, soul, Americana and rock n roll, smoothing it all together with a rich, buttery voice, nimble fingers on a red Telecaster Thin Line, and a tambourine on her boot.

“Capps is a compelling and dramatic performer – you can’t take your eyes off of him nor stop being fully engaged with his performance – with his fantastic lyrics, his awkwardly delicious sinewy long frame that seems barely contained by his chair or even the stage, and his long, loose blond locks whipping all over. Each song builds musically and lyrically, and one scarcely knows whether to hang on to the story, the frenzy of guitars or just the simple passion in the song.

And then there is the brilliance of Hughes on electric guitar taking each and every song to the next realm. Capps gives Hughes plenty of room to build a mood and stretch out a song, frequently just sitting next to him and gazing admiringly as the crowd oohs in awe. Capps has shared the stage with many over his 25-year career, but none takes his songs and performance to the level that Hughes does.” – Nancy Lasher and Jordan Hamowy, Glide Magazine

In the spirit of caroling and sharing holiday cheer, over two dozen roving Dickens-themed acts will be performing throughout Historic Biltmore Village, including the chestnut roaster, as well as dance groups, instrumental acts, bubble makers, mimes, jugglers, etc… Performers will be entirely outdoors, performing for the general public around the Village and on the Village Green stage on Friday, December 1, and on Saturday, December 2.

As in years past, a fully decorated 15+ foot Christmas Tree will be lit on the Village Green (adjacent to the intersection of Boston Way/Kitchin Place/Biltmore Plaza).
