OUTPOST: Stephen Evans & The True Grits//Nick Mac & The Noise//Carolina Drifters
– ALL AGES- STANDING ROOM ONLY- RAIN OR SHINE Stephen Evans & the True Grits After many years of vacillating between being a professional musician and building a nest in Asheville, NC, Stephen Evans decided to put music to the forefront of his life again in 2014, and formed Stephen Evans & the True Grits with Brian Shoemaker (backing vocals, bass, and lead guitar), Woodstock (mandolin), and Sam Hess (drums) “Buzz of Bees” (Dec. ‘22) is their latest collection of folk rock with some songs dipping into other styles like Americana, Latin Folk, and Vaudeville. Singles from the LP, ‘Ghost Among the Trees’ and ‘Winning the Day’ have already received consistent radioplay on local stations as well as national online radio and music podcasts. Look for Stephen Evans playing solo or with the True Grits supporting this beautiful album with shows all around the WNC area. Nick Mac & the Noise Nick Mac is a singer-songwriter born and raised in the hills on Western North Carolina. Nick grew up with high hopes of one day being a professional athlete, but like most of us that was just a dream that he eventually had to stop chasing. In 2012 he learned three chords from his grandfather before he passed away later that year. Within the next year Nick started writing songs on the 74′ Fender that his grandfather left behind. This first song he wrote was titled “Jay”, an ode to his late grandfather. Nick is quoted as saying “when the chords finally came together with the lyrics for the first time it brought me to tears and I knew this was something that I could passionately pursue”. Nick writes songs about love, life experiences, and hardships we all face in the day to day grind. It’s hard to put a label on his genre because he dives into Blues, Country, Rock, and Folk music. For the last few years Nick has been tearing up the local scene in Western North Carolina with his band, Nick Mac & The Noise. They have a reputation for being a smooth playing, good-time-chasing, high energy, rockin’ country band that brings a good mix of originals and eclectic covers to the table. Nick put out two singles as a solo artist, “Win or die” and “Heal My Soul.” He has performed at several venues in the WNC and upstate SC area such as The Grey Eagle, The Isis Music Hall and Silverados Music Park. You can often find him performing at a Songwriters-in-the-Round or playing with his band in and around the regions of NC, TN, and SC. Carolina Drifters Carolina Drifters, an Alt-Country band hailing from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, delivers a heartfelt blend of Country and Southern Rock storytelling with a dash of Pop. With their soulful harmonies, twangy guitar riffs, and blue collar everyman lyrics, the Carolina Drifters are a sure-fire recipe for a good time that embodies the spirit of their southern roots.
