Thursday April 23, 2026 || 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM || $16.91 Event Details and Tickets
Some bands play tribute shows. Others turn them into a spectacle. On April 23, the world-famous Mini Kiss storms The Showroom stage with a full-throttle, KISS-inspired rock show that’s loud, theatrical, and completely unforgettable. Known around the globe for their electrifying performances, this powerhouse group of talented little people has lit up stages everywhere from Jimmy Kimmel Live to HBO Live Sessions, even appearing in the KISS Dr Pepper Super Bowl commercial. They’ve shared bills with artists like Snoop Dogg, Peter Frampton, Blue Öyster Cult, and A Perfect Circle, and in 2023 they set a Guinness World Record for the World’s Shortest Band. The costumes, the attitude, the larger-than-life rock energy. It’s all here.

Before the face paint and firepower hit the stage, WNC’s own Smashing Mouths kicks off the night from 6:30pm . Known as Western North Carolina’s premier 90s and early 2000s nostalgia experience, they bring a set packed with the singalong anthems and alt-rock favorites that defined a generation. It’s the perfect warmup before Mini Kiss takes over The Showroom and turns the room into a full-on rock arena.
Two bands. One very wild night.

Reed Miller | Straight Up!
2026-04-23 19:00 - 22:00 | Hotel Eve Jazz, 56 N Lexington Avenue, Asheville, NC, 28801, United States
Coming to us from NYC: Straight Up! is a co-led jazz trio founded by guitarist Reed Miller and drummer Andrew Kushnir, joined by bassist Sam Trapchak. What began as outdoor sessions in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park during the summer of 2021 quickly grew into a tightly-knit ensemble rooted in the aesthetic of mid-century modernism. Straight Up! has spent the past five years refining a sound one that honors the timeless energy of bebop and hard-bop while exploring the harmonic and rhythmic complexity of composers like Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Randy Weston, and Bud Powell. While inspired by the legendary Poll Winners trio (Barney Kessel, Ray Brown, Shelley Manne), the trio performs compositions beyond the boundaries of mainstream guitar jazz. Straight Up! has quickly made a name in the Manhattan and Brooklyn jazz scenes performing at renowned venues like Smalls Jazz Club, Midnight Blue, St. Tuesday, and The Red Room.
$10 at the door (all ticket proceeds are 100% passed to the band, backed by a living wage guarantee from Hotel Eve)
