2026-01-01 15:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Pisgah Brewing Company Black Mountain, 2948 US-70, Black Mountain, NC, 28711
Still feeling the aftermath of 2025? Come kick off the new year with us at Pisgah Brewing. Phuncle Sam will be performing an afternoon show at 3pm and we will have New Years Good Fortune food provided by Mountain View BBQ. Come hungry, come thirsty and come ready to start the year off right.

Phuncle Sam is Asheville’s own Dead-Centric “jam band”. Since their formation in 2004, Phuncle Sam has been firmly rooted in musical exploration. The band serves up inventive interpretations of Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead and many others. They have built up a faithful following by using an approach that respects the improvisational traditions of The Grateful Dead, while exploring what can happen when individual band members bring their unique influences and interpretations into the mix.

Founded in 2005, Pisgah is known for producing some of the most sought after craft ales in Western North Carolina. Pisgah Brewing Company currently operates the new indoor taproom & deli, with live music several days a week, plus an open air outdoor bar in the summer and fall months.

Old Friends: Jonathan Pearlman, Peggy Ratusz & James Kylen celebrate the music of Simon & Garfunkel!
2026-01-02 19:30 - 21:30 | White Horse Black Mountain
Take a trip back in time with composer, musician, band leader, singer and producer, Jonathan Pearlman (My Magnificent Nemesis, Alien Music Club), Blues Chanteuse Peggy Ratusz (Daddy LongLegs Blues Band, Love is a Rose Celebration of Linda Ronstadt, Love Bubble) and multi-instrumentalist, James Kylen (My Magnificent Nemesis, Here Comes the Sun: A celebration of the Beatles) as they celebrate the enduring magic of Simon & Garfunkel.

At White Horse Black Mountain, we believe music is meant to be shared by all. Some households may only be able to give a little, while others may be able to give more to pay it forward and support neighbors. Each event includes a “suggested price” that reflects the normal cost of the show, but no matter what you contribute, you’re helping keep the music alive for our whole community.
