Pretty Little Goat is grassroots music at its finest. The band formed in 2013 through their common grounding in the deep well of local tradition found in the mountains of Western North Carolina. As young lovers of old-time music, Pretty Little Goat began winning string band competitions right away. Over the last four years the Goats have collaborated with many well respected local musicians.
United Way raises funds through an annual campaign to improve the education, financial stability and health of people in Henderson County. Last year, over 30,000 county residents were helped by United Way services and funded programs.
