Click here to hear an archive of WXPN's World Cafe: Next segment from Monday, Dec. 3, featuring a sneak preview of 'A Long Dream About Swimming Across The Sea', the new album from Asheville's own Tyler Ramsey.  Tyler's CD release show is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 4 at 9pm, and advance tickets are $10.  Hope and Anchor opens the show.

Mountain Heart is, without question, one of the tightest, fastest draws in the contemporary folk music scene. Their live shows are exceptionally energetic, and their fierce instrumental skills are only matched by one another.



Video: pre-show warm up with "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out".

To see Mountain Heart live, you'd think they were powered by some super-human source. The energy they bring to any room is unstoppable, and the band's instrumentalism -- already impressive in studio recordings -- proves mind-bogglingly good.

Mountain Heart makes their first Grey Eagle appearance on Friday, Dec. 28. Tickets are $12 in advance, and the show starts at 9pm.

Asheville's finest "dirty-tonk" band, The Trainwreks, have just been added to the upcoming Hackensaw Boys show this Friday, Dec. 7th.
