Long skirts, crochet, embroidery and sandals. It’s a timeless look that heralds summer.
Actually, it’s been up and running for a month or so now. And there’s a full music schedule, including acts all weekend and some exciting bands coming up, such as New Orleans-based Americana artist Kristin Diable.
It’s no secret: Asheville is a town that moves to its own beat, from music and art to food and fashion. But just because we have our own sense of style doesn’t necessarily mean we’re not in touch with what’s happening, style-wise, in the rest of the world. Instead, Asheville residents tend to interpret fashion […]
This year’s festival includes 40 bands ranging from funk and Americana to hip-hop and Christian r&b. Headliners include Dr. Dog, David Mayfield Parade, Lucero and Brandi Carlile.
The musician/producer/actor seemingly abandoned his quest for the world record of most metaphors used during a concert, in favor of searing, scorching, brilliantly-performed rock. Good choice. Photos by Sandlin Gaither.

There’s a passage in in Wiley Cash’s debut novel, A Land More Kind Than Home, where Madison County sheriff Clem Barefield says, “Most people up here claim they’ve got Irish or Scottish or some kind of blood in them, and I think that’s probably true, especially if you listen to all the folks who’ll drive […]
Not too long ago someone painted (and I paraphrase) “Cars stink, ride a bike,” on the I-240 overpass at Lexington Avenue. And while most of us can agree that car exhaust is smelly, four wheels often seem like the most convenient way to get from point A to point B. But Strive Not To Drive […]

In case you haven’t heard the local trio’s latest album, “Words from the Well,” here’s a review and a couple of videos. They’re currently on tour in the northeast and in California, but hopefully they’ll have another Asheville show booked before too long. Photo by Amanda Cabanillas.
The band’s new album, “Something In The Water,” is Americana/country-rock at its best. Seamless musicianship, relatable storytelling and at least one instant classic. Leigh Glass & the Hazards play the French Broad Brewery on Friday.
Hats: Fedoras are near ubiquitous, but thanks to the Middleton sisters (Kate and Pippa), other types of hats are making a comeback, too. Newly-opened Charmed, an accessories boutique, is well-stocked with all manner of summery toppers, from straw cloches to wide-brimmed sun hats. The boutique, owned by Zoe Neunen, is “a literal sister store” to […]
