Friday & Saturday’s Lineup in the taproom🍻
✨Friday June 19th | 6pm-9pm
✨Connor Clark & Blue Rhythm Revival and Lando Moss
connorclark_bluerhythmrevival
landomoss
Connor Clark & Blue Rhythm Revival stand as a testament to Rock and Roll. The music pays homage to royalty, drawing inspiration from the likes of The Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, and Neil Young to the pioneers of the present like All Them Witches, Marcus King, My Morning Jacket and Alabama Shakes. The result is a sonic tapestry that bridges a gap between nostalgia and contemporary focusing around the heart of a song with the soul of a jam.
Deep in the musical mountains of Western North Carolina, wedged somewhere between the boulders of cosmic country, neo-soul, and good old-fashioned rock and roll, sprouts the groovy growth known as Lando Moss. Frontman Cam Stack is a veteran singer-songwriter in the mold of versatile performers like Ben Harper and MJ Lenderman. Backed up by the limber bass of Daniel Walton and Propulsive drumming of Richard Inman, stack leads the group with smoky vocals, thoughtful lyrics, and Melodic guitar.
✨Saturday June 20th | 6-9pm | Free Show
✨Solvivor
solvivorband
Solvivor is a powerhouse musical collective hailing from Western North Carolina, dedicated to a unique sound dubbed “Post-Modern Southern Rock.” Founded by guitarist Dorsey Parker and bassist Ian Harrod, the lineup features Josh Chasner on the Les Paul guitar and the driving rhythm of Richard Faulk on drums and percussion.
The band’s sound is a rich tapestry of influences, ranging from blues and country to funk and Americana. While the heart of the project is focused on their original material—currently being captured in the studio for their upcoming album—their live sets are built on a foundation of deep-pocket grooves and powerful, high-energy covers.

✨Solar Hearts
Solar Hearts is the brainchild of songwriter and vocalist Christopher Hewat, who’s been performing original feel-good-folk-pop from early days in New England to subsequent years spanning both coasts. Landing most recently in Asheville, NC, he’s been playing live shows from New York to L.A., to wide swaths of NC and VA. Christopher continues to pull from his roots of being steeped in classic rock, folk, and Mowtown soul, with what emerges as unique and familiar; garnering comparisons to John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and Jason Mraz. Over the years he’s performed supporting artists including: The Connells, Juliana Hatfield, 4NonBlondes, and Tim Reynolds’ TR3. He continues to perform solo and full band shows. With song placements in film and tv; including guest vocals on Together We Will Run, by Somer, featured on Love Is Blind (Netflix), and Amber Brown (AppleTV).

✨Saturday June 13 | 6-9pm | Free Show
✨Jugs
Songwriter Sawyer Phillips and guitarist Luke Shriver formed the Jugs, in dream, on the road in 2023. The band took root in Western North Carolina and has since expanded to include a community of musicians drawing wildly from the American music tradition and pushing into uncharted territory. From the undulating concrete of parking lots across the country to the valleys of the oldest mountains on the continent, the Jugs hold a looking glass to the surreal and disorienting American condition.
🍻 Of course, we’ve also got our weekly events:
