– ALL AGES
– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE

PINKEYE
PINKEYE will infect you. Straight from the Asheville underground PINKEYE is delirious fun. A gang of delinquents who have been around the music scene are playing the most fun music of their lives, simplifying, bursting with energy, leaning into influences from Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers to The Lemonheads to The Clash. Everything they play is filled with hooks and joy. Delirious and delicious fun up on stage – unable to stand still – PINKEYE is infectious catchy two-minute punk blasts.

JOHN KIRBY JR & THE NEW SENIORS
John Kirby Jr. and the New Seniors were born from fire under a full moon in the winter of 2019. Bonding over a mutual love of Van Halen and The Replacements the three instantly connected and vowed their allegiance to rock and roll in both form and spirit. “We get to the chorus quick.. while also sticking it to the man…”.

Fueled by the guitar playing, singing and songwriting of John Kirby and anchored by the rhythm section of old school rockers John Hawkins (drums/vocals) and Chad Nance (bass/vocals), John Kirby Jr. and The New Seniors play guitar driven original rock with a little bit of power pop sprinkled on top.

Their music has also been described as “Punk/metal with a bouquet of guitar based pop”, “A cross between Westerberg and Petty” and “Nicely crafted power punk”.

The band released their first EP “Don’t Kill the Magic” in September of 2019, followed by their first full length “Sleepers” in May of 2022 and are currently working on a 2023 release. JKandTNS also continue to be involved in the Black Mountain based Holy Crap Records music community as well as playing regular live shows in their hometown of Asheville NC and across the state.
