"Since forming Yarn in 2007, Christiana has steered the band from a scrappy New York City bar residency to sharing stages with Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Alison Krauss, and Leftover Salmon. Drummer Robert Bonhomme and bassist Rick Bugel have remained Yarn’s core alongside Blake Christiana as the group has evolved through more than 10 albums and 17 years on the road. It’s appropriate that most of the video was filmed in a barroom as the music blends bluesy, boozy rock and roll swagger with outlaw country and Memphis soul." – Glide Magazine. The band is in the midst of a major nationwide tour, which includes 185 King Street in Brevard on May 9th.

It’s Taj Mahal! We’re excited to share with you this strong album of soul, roots, folk, reggae, and blues from one of the cornerstone architects of American music. Originally recorded in 2010 alongside Taj’s longtime collaborators the Phantom Blues Band — a three-decade partnership responsible for GRAMMY-winning albums Señor Blues (1997) and Shoutin’ in Key (2000) — Time captures a shared musical language refined across decades.

Cary Hudson is a former drugstore clerk, landscaper, farm hand, waiter, house painter, pizza deliverer, and fry cook… But you probably know him as the frontman for Blue Mountain, one of our favorite bands in the 90s. In addition to nearly 20 years with that band, he’s played guitar for the likes of Bobby Rush, RL Burnside, Big Jack Johnson, Shannon MacNally, and Dayna Kurtz, and nowadays is doing some duet work with his daughter Anna. The two of them have a small show in Brevard on Sunday, before paying us a visit on Monday afternoon with Joe Kendrick.

The Saylor Brothers are a bluegrass/jam trio that had its genesis in the John Hartford Jam which occurred in Asheville from 2014-2020. Along the way of hosting this jam, brothers Will & Ben Saylor (banjo/guitar) have collaborated with countless pickers in the Asheville bluegrass scene, at a wide variety of gigs – especially with the other group they front, Brushfire Stankgrass. Their next gig is Green River Adventures’ annual “Green River Bash” in downtown Saluda this Saturday at 5. Tune in for another fun jam this Friday morning!
