FREE PATIO SHOW: The Nature Boys
– ALL AGES- FREE SHOW- LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVETHE NATURE BOYS Hailing from the Appalachian musical stronghold of Asheville, NC, The Nature Boys are coming in hot with their brand of bluegrass. As veterans of the acoustic music scene, they are combining a deep love of traditional string band music with a refreshing catalog of original songs, dazzling fans with a certain je ne sais quoi that is both genuine and relatable. Formed in the summer of 2025, long time friends Jack, Jesse, and Nick found themselves once again living in the same town and ready to start a new musical project. These three had spent years touring across the world, often but not always in the same group. With a shared love of music, humor, and brotherhood, The Nature Boys was born in a way that can only be described as natural. Soon after getting the wheels rolling, they enlisted Asheville aces Coop and Korey, now forming one of Asheville’s premier 5-piece bluegrass bands, The Nature Boys. The band is currently performing regionally and is recording their debut album, to be released in late 2026.
PATIO SHOW: Cordovas with Gavin Kattesh
– ALL AGES- LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE CORDOVAS Cordovas are an Americana rock band out of Nashville whose sound, equal parts soulful harmony, poetic craft, and cosmic improvisation, has long earned comparisons to The Band, Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. But with their fifth studio album, Back to Life (out January 30, 2026, on Yep Roc Records), the group sharpens the edges of its identity: road- tested, deeply traditional in the ways that matter, and determined to be respected on its own terms. The band’s heartbeat lies between two places. In Todos Santos, Mexico, where Cordovas have lived, written, and built a small community of artists, the songs take shape in their most relaxed state, often amongst a circle of friends. Then it’s back to Nashville, where rehearsal, touring, and recording hammer those ideas into their final form. This cycle has defined the last three years of work, producing songs that are both varied and cohesive, each one revealing another side of the band’s range. At the center of Cordovas are songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Firstman and guitarist/vocalist Lucca Soria, partners in what they call a “musical friendship.” The new record is a testament to their growth not just as musicians but as people. “I’m extremely blessed,” Firstman says. “Everywhere I look is love, and I set it up that way. My whole life is designed around art, not around bills or phone calls. Everything is based on love and enthusiasm, and it radiates from there.” Soria frames it differently but with the same spirit of devotion: “People are at service to us, and we are at service to them. I am incentivized to do my best all of the time in the service of others. In Mexico, it’s also a community. Everyone has a role, and I want to do the best I can for the community.” That philosophy is embodied in the band’s communal compound in Todos Santos. Over the years, Cordovas have acquired five houses there—each designed by Firstman, each tailored to the people who live or pass through them. More than just residences, they function as creative havens: a space where friends, collaborators, and fellow travelers are invited in to write songs, make demos, stage impromptu shows, or simply live alongside the band in a shared rhythm of art and life. It’s not a retreat from the world but a way of reshaping it—an intentional community built around the belief that music thrives when it’s lived in, day after day, with others. GAVIN KATTESH Gavin Kattesh is a songwriter from rural East Tennessee, which shows in the straightforward simplicity of his songs. Since his teenage years, he has chased songs straight to the point, easy to define, and even easier to play. On stage, Kattesh delivers his songs the same way he approaches the bar or walks through the door—with intentionality.
