K A T R I N A ft. Lenny Pettinelli & Peter Dimery
2025-12-06 20:00 - 23:00 | Hotel Eve Jazz, 56 N Lexington Avenue, Asheville, NC, 28801, United States
Saturday, December 6th | 8:00pm

K A T R I N A is an Asheville based vocalist and songwriter with a deep love for intimate phrasing and modern harmony. Saturday night, she is joined by pianist Lenny Pettinelli and saxophonist Peter Dimery for an evening built around melody, emotion, and groove.

The trio reimagines familiar favorites in a “pop goes jazz” style, taking well known songs and dressing them in smoky chords, subtle reharmonizations, and improvisations that leave plenty of space for the lyrics to breathe. You might recognize the tunes, but they arrive with fresh swing, cool bossa undertones, and late night lounge energy.

Alongside these reinvented standards, K A T R I N A will share a handful of original songs that lean into storytelling, warm tone, and dynamic interplay with keys and sax. Expect a set that feels both nostalgic and new, perfect for lingering over a drink, catching every word, and letting the band pull you into their little nighttime world.

Hotel Eve is your locally rooted, speakeasy jazz club & cocktail bar, hidden in the heart of Downtown Asheville. Mysteriously not a hotel…check in for spirits, souls and jazz! We’re tucked away, on purpose. You’ll find us behind the gate nestled between Virtue Boutique and Dane Wells Gallery at 56 N Lexington Avenue in downtown Asheville. Step through, take a left into the courtyard, check in for Spirits, Souls & Jazz. We’ll be waiting on the other side. hotelevejazz.com

COMING TUESDAY DEC 16th | The 2025 Christmas Yarn Ball Tour w/sg Cruz Contreras
2025-12-07 - 2025-12-08 | The Grey Eagle, 185 Clingman Ave, Asheville, NC, United States
Tuesday, December 16 | Doors: 7 pm // Show: 8 pm | from $24.60 Event Details and Tickets

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 might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to, naturally, tend to spin a yarn or two. Blake Christiana, founding member of Yarn, has the music in him. In fact, 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. His restless search for the chords and lyrics over the past 20 years has produced a plethora of memorable music, and since 2007 he’s led Yarn, a band that’s evolved from its earliest days as a bar band in New York City to an outstanding roots band that’s shared stages with Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Alison Krauss, and Leftover Salmon, among many others.

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.

Yarn keeps spinning their stories, drawing audiences into their vibrant musical web, and delivering clever and resonant lyrics in memorable songs that reverberate and linger in listeners’ hearts and souls.

Cruz Contreras has spent nearly thirty years forging his path through the Americana musical landscape. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, bandleader, producer, and storyteller whose voice cuts through noise like a well-honed blade. He got his start at 15, playing guitar behind his younger brother Billy Contreras at fiddle competitions. But it was a moment in 1993 that sealed Cruz’s fate: finding himself in a room with the Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe. That room, that sound, that presence—it lit a fire that’s never gone out.
