Brunch is a fine way to express appreciation for the matriarch in one’s life the second Sunday each May, but this year four of Asheville’s most recognizable female lead singers and bandleaders are offering a more creative option. On May 13, Amanda Anne Platt (The Honeycutters), Aubrey Eisenman (The Clydes), Anya Hinkle (Tellico) and Mary Lucey (The Biscuit Burners; Uncle Earl) unite for a pair of special Mother’s Day shows titled Never a Pal Like Mother at Isis Music Hall. Combining guitar, fiddle, banjo and upright bass with their celebrated vocal styles and harmonies, the all-star band will perform cherished classic and original mother-themed songs, spanning a range of themes and emotions. The ensemble plays the upstairs lounge at 6 p.m. and the main stage at 8 p.m. $18 per show. isisasheville.com. Photo by Gen Kogure
