Host of the roots music history podcast, American Songcatcher, Nicholas Edward Williams is a multi-instrumentalist and storyteller who is dedicated to “playing it forward” by preserving the songs, stories, artists and styles that have shaped our country: Ragtime, Piedmont Blues, Early Country, Traditional Folk and Old-Time.

Hannah Kaminer is an Asheville, North Carolina-based artist who is known for her poignant songwriting, clear voice, and often comedic stage presence. Raised in small towns in Western North Carolina, Kaminer writes songs about love, loss, and home, fusing echoes of Appalachian and country traditions with wistful, Americana-style songwriting.

Caged Affair @ Shiloh & Gaines
Jul 12 @ 9:00 pm – Jul 13 @ 12:00 am

Caged Affair is an alternative rock band based out of Asheville NC.  Their neo grunge-punk sound has drawn parallels to Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana and Royal Blood among others. Hungry for something beyond the typical, they formed Caged Affair. Armed with a name offensive to some, enigmatic to others and a love of 90’s pop-punk rock, they set out to create music blending Tyler’s demanding baselines, Harley’s electric riffs and Cody’s frantic drumming.
