My first introduction to Cheyenne Marie Mize came several years ago when the Louisville-based songwriter appeared on Among the Gold, a six-song EP of 19th century American parlor music with Bonnie “Prince” Billy. I knew little of her solo work until last fall, when I caught Mize’s set at Hopscotch music festival in Raleigh. Her sprawling performance at the crowded bar was all I needed to see: Cheyenne Marie Mize is far better suited to be a bandleader than a bandmember.

Cheyenne Marie Mize plays One Stop
Mize first gained national attention for collaborating with fellow Kentuckians Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Ben Sollee. However, the multi-instrumentalist’s genre-hopping solo work soon caught the attention of outlets ranging from The New York Times to NPR, overshadowing her backing work and earning the songwriter a deal with Yep Roc Records. Tonight, Mize stops in Asheville for a performance downtown.
Bonnie Prince Billy to play Marshall
Well, if this don’t beat all. The creaky and emotive songwriter will play Marshall High Studios. Thanks to Harvest Records for making it happen.
