Ultimate Paining opens for Woods when the band’s national and international tour stops at the Mothlight on Wednesday, May 4.

There’s something funny about a New York band coming to Asheville to play songs about mountains and trees and crystal skies. But that’s exactly what happened when Brooklyn-based lo-fi folk rock outfit Woods played here on Aug. 9. With video by Jesse Hamm.
Local artist Willy Rosencrans has been carving sculptures from fallen trees along UNC-Asheville’s South Campus Trails.
