TANASI is a worldgrass trio based in Asheville, North Carolina, channeling global folk traditions through the drive, textures, and close harmonies of an Appalachian string band. With Billy Cardine on dobro and slide instruments, Anya Hinkle on vocals and guitar, and Mary Lucey on vocals, upright bass, and clawhammer banjo, the group unites three widely acclaimed roots artists whose combined careers span decades of touring, recording, and cross-cultural exchange. Their music follows the invisible threads that connect cultures, landscapes, and hearts&#8212;from Nepal&#8217;s high plateaus and South African villages to the mountains of Appalachia&#8212;celebrating the shared human rhythms that surface wherever people gather to sing, dance, grieve, and love. The members of TANASI have appeared on iconic stages including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Ryman Auditorium, and at leading festivals such as Bonnaroo, MerleFest, Grey Fox, RockyGrass, and the Earl Scruggs Music Festival, alongside performances across Europe and Asia. Cardine is recognized as a pioneering voice in modern slide work, collaborating with artists including John Paul Jones, Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas, and Debashish Bhattacharya. Lucey helped define contemporary string band music through The Biscuit Burners and Uncle Earl, while Hinkle is an award-winning songwriter with internationally celebrated solo releases. In 2025, TANASI received a National Endowment for the Arts USArtists International Grant. They will release their self-titled debut album, TANASI, in 2026.&#160; Website: https://billycardine.com/tanasi &#160; Video: https://youtu.be/nRyXZyyXNHY]]></description>

Jess Klein came to this world to pull firebrand power and childlike joy from our darkest shadows. Her acoustic-driven, hook-laden story songs revel in the polychrome of human experience - joy, rage, sensuality and resilience.&#160;The New York Times&#160;calls her &#8220;A songwriter with a voice of unblinking tenacity.&#8221;&#160; Jess has toured the globe performing in pin-drop listening rooms, cozy theaters and at raucous festivals in front of tens of thousands of fans.&#160; She has toured nationally and internationally supporting&#160;Arlo Guthrie, Josh Ritter, Damien Dempsey, John Fullbright and Jonathan Byrd&#160;and has opened for such legends as&#160;Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle&#160;and&#160;Alejandro Escovedo.&#160;&#160;Jess has appeared on&#160;Good Morning America&#160;and&#160;NPR&#8217;s All Things Considered&#160;and has performed at the&#160;Newport, Winnipeg, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals&#160;as well as&#160;Fuji Rock Festival&#160;in Japan.&#160; Jess's live shows are known for their intimate and soulful atmosphere. Whether solo with just her guitar or backed by a band, Jess performs with a raw, emotional intensity. &#160;Her emotive vocals, and poignant storytelling invite her fans on a journey through themes of love, loss, and resilience. The Bluegrass Situation&#160;hails Jess's work as &#8220;one part grassroots social activism, two parts alt-country guitar rock &#8212; a combo we can certainly get behind.&#8221; Klein's newest album, 2023's&#160;When We Rise, harnesses this potent combination with themes of empowerment and the joy of overcoming set to a dynamic and deeply introspective roots-inflected soundtrack.&#160; This is a special full band show. Please remember full band shows can be on the louder side, though earplugs are provided for those with sensitivity.

Tickets are $15 + fees.&#160; Sweet Megg is a genre-blending vocalist and songwriter, weaving jazz, country, and blues into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Originally from NYC and now based in Nashville, she has traveled the world honing her craft everywhere from Parisian jazz clubs to Southern honky-tonks. Her last studio album,&#160;*Never Been Home*&#160;(#23 on the Americana charts and #1 on the Alt-Country Radio charts), showcased her signature writing style through 12 eclectic original Americana songs. She is currently writing her next original album and, in the meantime, releasing a new jazz album,&#160;*Massive Negroni*. *Massive Negroni*, recorded in 2021 at Old Soul Studios, is a quartet record featuring guitarist Thor Jensen (Ashley Campbell, Hazmat Modine, Postmodern Jukebox), bassist Dylan Perillo (Hot Club of Saratoga), and drummer Chris Gelb (JD McPherson, Jessica Simpson, Margo Price, Asleep at the Wheel). The album spans material from Tom Waits to Sugar Pie DeSanto to Duke Ellington and can best be described as Americana jazz. This is her first full-length jazz album released independently, and that creative freedom is reflected in the quartet&#8217;s boldly individual sound. Guided solely by Sweet Megg&#8217;s vision, the music highlights the distinct personalities of each musician, resulting in a jazz record that feels curious, playful, and deeply personal&#8212;one she&#8217;s thrilled to share.

The artist&#8217;s take on the indie-folk sound is refreshing and personal.&#160;Stay In Your Light&#160;is a comforting symphonic hug that aims to preserve the innocence of those Gerard holds dearest.The family focused theme of&#160;Stay In Your Light is cohesive throughout, both sonically and lyrically. Gerard blends thoughtful lyrics with beautifully hazy instrumentation. The lead single, &#8220;Bright Side,&#8221; notably exemplifies these qualities with lines such as: &#8220;I knew then we were all, all in / I couldn't plan it better than this again.&#8221; The multilayered production of the song takes the listener on a sonic cruise. In an era starved for genuine warmth and intimacy, this record feels like a luminous embrace.

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. Tickets are $20 + fees. Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, The Rough &#38; Tumble and Flagship Romance combine for a night of high energy, four part harmonies, infectious hooks and a roomful of laughter. It took over 10 years and 500,000 miles of touring the indie/folk circuit and seeing each other&#8217;s posters on venue walls before the two bands met. But it only took one meeting before they&#8217;d started a text thread and concocted the idea of the Rough Romance tour. It&#8217;s a night of open-armed, deep-in-the-belly-songs that are as intimate as they are universal and as delightful as your first cup of coffee. It&#8217;s a jubilant show that has become the highlight of the year for many people to watch these four accomplished musicians and friends share the stage.&#160; Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for their breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live show, and a remarkable on and off-stage chemistry that will leave you with the feeling that you made two new best friends. Married singers-songwriters Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson effortlessly fuse technical precision in their impeccably tight vocal blend with an invigorating sense of emotional abandon in their energetic live persona. Performing each show as if it could be their last, this duo will have you questioning how their larger-than-life sound can come from just two voices and an acoustic guitar. The Rough &#38; Tumble are a hardscrabble folk/Americana duo, made up of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler. With accordions and guitars, close-harmonies, ukuleles and oddball percussion, their commanding stage presence and engaging performances have made them a not-to-miss band when they tour through town because you won&#8217;t see the same show twice. They have been embraced by fans for their stark honesty, unique storytelling and well-crafted melodies especially after 2024&#8217;s release,&#160;Hymns For My Atheist Sister and Her Friends To Sing Along To, a collection of deeply personal, unifying and uplifting, humanist gospel songs.

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. Tickets are $22.50 + fees. Led by multi-instrumentalists and award winning songwriters Clint Roberts and Jackson Grimm, Asheville&#8217;s Holler Choir blends a distinctly Appalachian indie-pop sound with haunting harmonies, stirring string arrangements, and heart-wrenching ballads&#8212;yet rarely conforms to a single genre. Rooted in Old-time, Americana, and Bluegrass traditions, Holler Choir&#8217;s sound is ultimately singular by design. Alongside Roberts and Grimm, a rotating cast of gifted Appalachian musicians contributes to the group&#8217;s recordings and electrifying live performances. Holler Choir began during the recording of Roberts&#8217;s 2022 solo EP, Mountain Air, at Asheville&#8217;s Crossroads Studios. That fortuitous gathering of roots musicians proved to be the genesis of an unmistakable new sound. Produced by Grammy Award&#8211;winning multi-instrumentalist Michael Ashworth of The Steep Canyon Rangers, the five-song EP lit the fuse, setting Holler Choir on a path to delight audiences throughout the Southeast and beyond. Much of that same collective reunited to record the band&#8217;s 2024 debut full-length album, Songs Before They Write Themselves, tracked in the historic church room at Echo Mountain Studios and engineered by Jason Richmond (Avett Brothers, Rising Appalachia). Grimm officially joined the fold in the summer of 2024 after being invited to collaborate on Holler Choir&#8217;s Susto Stringband project, which reinterprets the indie-rock Americana songwriting of Susto&#8217;s Justin Osborne through old-time and bluegrass lenses. As Roberts and Grimm continued working together, Grimm&#8217;s sharp lyrical wit and wide-ranging multi-instrumentalism quickly proved to be a powerful addition to the band&#8217;s creative core. Holler Choir is slated to release its first collaborative record under this lineup in late 2026 or early 2027.

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 3pm, show 4-6pm. Tickets are $10 + fees. Soul-R Fusion is an acoustic guitar and fretless bass songwriter duo that will draw you in and take you on a &#160;mystic musical journey. Tim Koehler (acoustic guitar / vocals) and Alex Goodell (fretless bass) are both originally from New Jersey, but met by chance in Wilmington, North Carolina in 2015.&#160; When they collaborated things really clicked, and they developed an original sound by blending diverse musical influences and unique approaches to their instruments and to songwriting.&#160; Tim began playing guitar in his early teens and is largely self-taught.&#160; He was the lead guitarist and frontperson for several New Jersey based bands.&#160; Then, with a switch from electric to acoustic, Tim went solo, playing acoustic guitar in the Red Bank, NJ music scene and occasionally dipping into the crowded Greenwich Village folk scene.&#160; After several relocations, he ended up in Wilmington, NC, where he frequented open-mics and gigged as a solo singer-songwriter.&#160; Tim&#8217;s "superpower" has always been his ability to get to the emotional center of a song.&#160; His thoughtfully crafted lyrics relate stories, experiences, and emotions that he brings to life with his rich, soulful vocals.&#160; Alex played classical violin throughout her childhood.&#160; She started playing bass as a teenager and is a graduate of the bass guitar program at Musicians Institute in California.&#160; She has played with a variety of bands on the east and west coasts, performing a range of genres including rock power trio, Elvis tribute, county-rock, funk-soul, surf, retro-instrumental mash-up, and jam band. Alex&#8217;s melodic bass playing highlights the magical qualities of the fretless bass.&#160; This complementary combination led to the formation of Soul-R Fusion, and the duo became partners in music and life.&#160;&#160;&#160; Soul-R Fusion features the interplay between Tim&#8217;s intelligent, heartfelt lyrics, and Alex&#8217;s ethereal fretless basslines.&#160; Their songs are optimistic and reflect upon the common experiences and connections people share.&#160;&#160; Soul-R Fusion has a&#160;large repertoire of original music&#160;including three studio album recordings: their eponymous&#160;Soul-R Fusion, (2016) with drummer Roger Manning, a double CD&#160;Like a Circle &#8216;Round the Sun, (2019), and&#160;Everybody Knows, (2023).&#160; They are constantly writing new music and are currently working on new studio recordings. The duo recently relocated to Kenansville, NC, but they still perform regularly at Wilmington listening room,&#160;Live at Ted&#8217;s, and at the&#160;Beale Street Barber Shop, Wilmington NC's Elvis themed barber shop / original music venue.&#160; They are members of the North Carolina Songwriter&#8217;s Co-op, and perform locally, regionally and nationally, in original-music friendly venues, showcases, events, and festivals, and for live radio / streaming broadcasts.&#160; Video: https://youtu.be/C1zI7P_foI4?si=gxsrs-Jo72dFxllM Website: https://soulrfusion.com/home]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. Tickets are $20 + fees. Time Sawyer&#8217;s name reflects the pull between the past and the future. The character Tom Sawyer evokes the rural background and love of home that the band shares. Time is a muse for songwriting; it&#8217;s the thread that runs through life, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency, while still connecting us with our past. The folk-rock band has performed on the stages of some of the Southeast&#8217;s most iconic festivals, including Merlefest, Floydfest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Albino Skunk Music Festival, and Carolina in the Fall. They&#8217;ve shared bills with American Aquarium, John Craigie, Hiss Golden Messenger, Langhorne Slim, John Moreland, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Wood Brothers, Susto, and many more. &#160; In March 2020 the band started a variety livestream called &#8220;Sam on Sunday.&#8221; The show originated out of necessity, as the pause button was hit for live shows, but quickly, connecting with friends, family, and fans each week became just as important. As live music returned, the project transformed into &#8220;Sam on Someday,&#8221; bringing together guest artists of widely varying genres to create memorable, one-time-only collaborative experiences. &#160;Time Sawyer&#8217;s songs call out the attitudes and behaviors that lead to our divisions &#8211; the way that we show understanding to our friends and family, without thinking about how folks outside our social circle are experiencing their own problems, and are, at heart, just like us. The music does what might seem impossible. It holds listeners accountable, but at the same time, draws them in and makes them feel good about what we all have in common. One of Time Sawyer&#8217;s goals has always been for listeners to feel a sense of community and connection during the show, and then to keep it with them, long after the music ends.&#160;&#160; Written by Jody Mace Website: https://www.timesawyer.com/ &#160; Video: https://youtu.be/wnqcrrXKHt0?si=jp7SEqSObCi2z1Md]]></description>

Les Fontanelles of Wilmington, NC, have deep roots in the North Carolina coast, which probably explains their mixture of sweet, but salty sensibilities. Their style and harmony driven sound can be attributed to the influences of Townes Van Zandt, Dire Straits, The Byrds, and Blaze Foley, then rounded out with undercurrents of Bonnie Prince Billy, Mazzy Star, and Magnolia Electric Co. The music is made with the belief that life is filled with heartache, but laughter and love is what makes the journey beautiful. It's the perfect balance between "supper at grandma's" and "put the youngins to bed, so grown folks can visit." Be prepared to cry, cackle, and blush before it's all said and done. The five-piece folk group is comprised of members of Wilmington's No Dollar $hoes (Carson Jewell, Jesse Jewell, Richard Welsh), Masonboro Sound (Shane Lippard), and The Barnraisers (Tiff Reece Jewell). Recordings: https://open.spotify.com/album/01UiYNTfZDwpDJRDBGFcdP?si=9FH0QS0oSO2EhCSTWYplWA Well into its second decade, WHQR's Soup To Nuts LIVE! has become one of the Cape Fear region's favorite, live-listening experiences, featuring a wide array of musical genres on its stage.&#160;STNL!'s recording process reflects its commitment to high quality, ongoing success, and the hard work of its technical staff.

In addition, WHQR forwards and cross-promotes the live event (and the later broadcast) across their website, on-air, social media, and related platforms.

He grew up on barbecue, chili dogs, Brunswick stew and Elvis. Skinny belts and two tones were replaced in 1964 with Chelsea boots, Cuban heels and long hair thanks to the Beatles. Joe got his first guitar when his mom Betty purchased a Stella at the local pawn shop when he was thirteen. One morning Joe's dad JM called him to the TV to see a blind guitar player on a local channel in Raleigh, North Carolina. The man's name was Doc Watson. Little did either one of them know that years down the road Joe would have the honor of becoming a member of Doc and Merle Watson's band Frosty Morn. Years of touring and more than a dozen albums with Doc, forged a relationship of deep respect. Joe has performed at every Merle Fest (26) and was also asked to be a performer at Doc's funeral. Joe also toured extensively with Jack Lawrence. Their duo was Smothers and Lawrence. They recorded an album called Smothers and Lawrence. Joe chose to stop touring to help raise his son and daughter. He continued to to play in a favorite local band while working as a sales representative for an international casket company. With the children grown, Joe is again writing and touring in earnest. He recently completed his first CD called These Things I Know. One of the cuts is a song called The Three Buglers. It is a mix of fiction and historical facts on how Taps was written. Joe performed it at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas in 2007. He received a first place for this song. Joe's voice is strong and pure. His guitar playing is solid. His mastery in song writing keeps your attention from beginning to end. Today Joe teaches guitar, and tours. He splits his time between homes in Valdosta, Georgia and Cortez, Florida with his wife Marghy. &#160; Video: https://youtu.be/vP7h2Iq91GM?si=3QTE-o3xbOuKMYeR&#38;t=77]]></description>

Whether with his backing band, The Fustics, or performing as an acoustic artist, Brad Heller has established himself as a credible force among current songwriters. Honing his craft for over a decade and a half the Wilmington, North Carolina, transplant has built a reputation as a thoughtful songsmith who tackles a wide range of personal and social issues. Bouncing between a myriad of genres, Heller finds creative drive in honoring musical influences that inspired him, while never abandoning his own unique sound. With the 2025 release of his sixth album, From What You've Built, Heller continues to build his audience with constant touring and spirited live shows.

Well into its second decade, WHQR's Soup To Nuts LIVE! has become one of the Cape Fear region's favorite, live-listening experiences, featuring a wide array of musical genres on its stage.&#160;STNL!'s recording process reflects its commitment to high quality, ongoing success, and the hard work of its technical staff. Each performance is engineered, multitracked, and edited into a one-hour program for broadcast on an upcoming date. In addition, WHQR forwards and cross-promotes the live event (and the later broadcast) across their website, on-air, social media, and related platforms. Starting in 2023, Live At Ted&#8217;s joined in hosting and booking acts for the STNL! show, alternating hosting duties each month with WHQR.
