Alien Music Club: “And Now For Something Completely Different!” @ White Horse Black Mountain
Dec 8 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

What is The Alien Music Club? It’s a musical collective from Asheville’s Jonathan Pearlman, who operates in relative obscurity within the area’s thriving music scene. “I operate under the pseudonym AMC, because I’m painfully shy and self-deprecating. I’m no good at self-promotion, but I do make great music with my many very talented friends.”
AMC is a bit eccentric. Expect quirky, unusual, original material; jazz, rockabilly, funk, punk and general weirdness with lots of fun cover tunes. The lineup features JP (guitar/vocals), Chuck Lichtenberger (piano/vocals), Alex Travers (violin/guitar), Ryan Kijanka (bass) and Jaron Pearlman (drums/vocals).

“Weird is wonderful!” Says JP. “Let’s keep Asheville Weird!”

Pay What You Can. The suggested price per ticket is $20.

“Bring Back The Heartbeat”
Dec 9 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

Pink Beds is an electro-indie rock band that sits at the intersection of spacious grooves and lush song crafting.

SAVE THE DATE | Yarn Holiday Ball @ The Grey Eagle
Dec 9 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.

Jack’s Traditional Irish/Celtic Jam Session @ Jack Of The Wood
Dec 15 @ 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/
