BIG FUR

BIG FUR is a slick, versatile animal of a band that pounces between genres and sounds through elaborate compositions and intense improvisation. The band cultivates an original sound that takes southern rock, country, and bluegrass to its highest dynamic peaks, and most electrifying psychedelic edges.

BIG FUR consists of members Andrew Poirier (guitar/vox), Shane Obrien (guitar/vox), Jacob Bruner (keys/vox), Joe Marino (bass/vox), and Grady Hemm (drums). The quintet formed in late 2023 and quickly generated a large catalogue of diverse original music and uniquely arranged covers.

French Broad River Brewery is more than just a place to enjoy a drink—it’s a community hub where great beer, live music, and good times come together. Just minutes from the Biltmore Estate & Downtown, our taproom is a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. We regularly host live music and entertainment in our taproom, making French Broad River Brewery a lively hub of local activity. From bluegrass to reggae, there’s always something happening.
