Doors open at 8pm for the 9pm show. Advance tickets are only $10, and are available at Orbit DVD and Harvest Records in West Asheville, at the venue, and right here on this very website.
Luciano, one of our all-time favorite performers returns!
With the release of his landmark CD 'Where There Is Life' in 1995, Luciano emerged as one of the most important reggae singers in decades and the greatest hope for roots reggae's survival in the digital dancehall era. Since that much acclaimed release, Luciano's music has been consistently praised for imparting sentiments of spiritual salvation, Rastafarian edification and African repatriation.
His newest release 'Child of a King' includes an eclectic range of cover versions from Nina Simone's empowering anthem of African identity "Young Gifted and Black" to Cat Stevens' mid 1970s unity plea "Peace Train" and UK easy-listening superstar Roger Whitaker's desire for a better planet on "New World in the Morning". Luciano's stunning, heartfelt interpretation of these disparate tunes offers an incomparable presentation of the roots rock icon's diversified skills.
Advance tickets are only $18, and are available online, at the venue, and at our local outlets! Don't miss this show!
Billy Bob Thornton names Unknown as one of his favorite songwriters and a genius picker. Matt Groening (the Simpsons) labels Unknown as a guitar maniac (and funny as hell to boot!) Hank3 has Unknown's face tatooed on his bicep! Marty Stuart introduced him as his illegitimate brother at the Ryman in Nashville, and is placing Unknown on the front cover of his upcoming book of personal photographs. Tom Petty came backstage at a Hollywood event to ask Unknown how he gets his "sound". The Rolling Stones invited him to participate in the soundcheck session for their latest show in Charlotte, NC. Unknown is even the voice of lead character "Early Cuyler" in the popular Cartoon Network show, Squidbillies.
Come see for yourself what all the fuss is about: Thursday night, April 17 at 9pm. Tickets are $13 in advance and are available at the club, Orbit DVD and Harvest Records in West Asheville, and on this very website.
The Justice Tour stops by Grey Eagle at 8pm Tuesday, April 22, led by renowned rock guitarist & political activist Tom Morello performing as The Nightwatchman. Fans who like a dose of relevance with their folk won't want to miss this one. As always, all ages are welcome. Tickets are only $10, and are available now online, at the club, and at Orbit DVD and Harvest Records in West Asheville.
Greg Brown - one of our all-time favorites - returns on Friday, March 21 at 8pm. Don't miss this one.
Greg's music is an intricate mix. It is no wonder -- he is an intricate mix of a person. Though a touring musician for over thirty years, he has never abandoned those things that move him deeply: family, home, poetry and the natural world. Music and words flow through him and he uses them to paint simple yet powerful images on a canvas of gospel, blues, country, rock, and jazz. A firm believer in community and ecological responsibility, he often uses his music to support these causes, both indirectly and directly through benefit concerts and albums.
Greg stays very busy these days writing and performing, and with the release of an astounding 3 albums in 2007, 'Yellow Dog', 'Live From the Big Top', and the children's album 'Down At The Sea Hotel', he has been performing at festivals and theaters across North America. And when not on the road, he splits his time between Iowa and Missouri with his children and wife (and another Grey Eagle favorite) Iris Dement.
Tickets on sale now online and at our local outlets! $26 advance/$29 day of show. Limited seating available.
