Mondays at Archetype are always FUN. Rotating between Singles Game Night and Brazilian Roda, there’s always something to enjoy alongside your cold cold beer, cocktail, cider, wine selection or N/A.

An urban musical event that grew out of the traditional Samba de Roda, becoming a symbol of Brazilian identity in cities like Rio de Janeiro.

Musicians and singers gather in a circle to play instruments such as the pandeiro, cavaquinho, and tantan.

It is a communal and inclusive event where everyone joins in singing, clapping, and dancing to the music.

It embodies the spirit of Brazilian culture, with no barrier between performers and the audience.

A BEVERAGE FOR EVERY TYPE

An array of beverage options makes Archetype an approachable taproom for everyone – from handmade cocktails to carefully curated wines, rotating house-made hard seltzers, plenty of non-alcoholic and gluten free beers, ciders, local sodas, seltzer waters, regular and CBD kombucha, and of course, Archetype’s own award winning beers. Plus, thanks to our amazing Beacham’s Curve courtyard, you can order and enjoy food brought right to your table. The sun drenched plant-filled taproom is cozy, modern, and equipped with board games, coloring sheets, Nintendo, a jukebox box, couches, covered patios and a rooftop deck.

Sunday January 18, 2026 | Doors at 6:00pm | Show at 7:00 p.m. Event Details and Tickets
Returning to the Diana Wortham Theatre at The Wortham Center for the Performing Arts, Paul Simon tribute You Can Call Me pAuL performs a lively and emotional concert with all the classic hits from Simon’s solo era and more! Enjoy an evening of memorable and nostalgic music presented authentically and vibrantly by singer Benjamin Falcon and a supremely talented twelve member ensemble. Doors at 6pm. Sponsored by Town and Mountain Realty.

Benjamin Falcon formed a love of the Simon & Garfunkel songbook while growing up outside of DC, in Alexandria, VA, through his parents fondness and nostalgia for Simon’s early work, as well as Falcon’s frequent exposure to the music in radio and media. In college, Falcon began to explore the larger catalogue of both Simon’s early and solo material.
Falcon studied music from an early age and also performed in music theater. He ultimately decided to focus on drumming, eventually moving to Asheville, NC and earning a degree in music from UNC- Asheville in 2009, with a concentration in jazz performance. Over the years, Ben incorporated Simon’s songs while performing regionally as a drummer, and increasingly, as a vocalist.
In a serendipitous happenstance, Falcon suggested a Paul Simon theme when invited to perform as a guest vocalist in 2022 at The JLloyd Mashup, a weekly residency some local musician friends hosted Mondays in West Asheville. From there the vision grew.
After building and refining the band, sourcing from Asheville’s disproportionate population of talented musicians, Falcon set out to grow and share the magic of Simon’s music.
