Bernstein will read excerpts from his book and chat with local writer/musician Jay Moye about Earle’s life and career, with a focus on the acclaimed singer/songwriter’s Asheville legacy. Kevin Fuller (Gold Rose) and Rebecca O’Quinn (Fancy Marie), and Michael Corwin and potentially others will perform selections from the JTE catalogue.
This free event will precede the March 2026 edition of the Golden Folk Sessions songwriter series, which will begin at 7:15 p.m. Copies of What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome will be available for sale, and the Grey Eagle taqueria and bar will be open.
