                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. Tickets are $30 + fees.&#160; Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona.&#160; Sam Robbins&#8217; third album, So Much I Still Don&#8217;t See is a testament to a singer songwriter&#8217;s journey through his 20&#8217;s, through his formative years of 45,000 miles per year touring and the beginning of a troubadour&#8217;s career. Most of all, it is the culmination of firsthand experiences gathered through hard travel and big adventures. For the listener, these big adventures are heard through a soft, introspective soundscape. Produced by singer songwriter Seth Glier, the album is built sparingly around solo acoustic guitar and vocals, tracked live, just as they are performed live on stage. Recorded in an old church in Springfield, MA, the sounds of So Much I Still Don&#8217;t See&#160;center around the humility that comes with traveling and experiencing a world much larger than yourself &#8211; looking inward and reveling in the quiet of the inner mind while facing an expansive landscape of life on the road. After a brief stint on NBC&#8217;s The Voice in 2018, Robbins graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2019 and quickly made his move down to Nashville. After a tumultuous five years in Music City, So Much I Still Don&#8217;t See&#160;&#160;is the first recording made after moving back to the Boston area in early 2024. After trying his hand at co-writing country songs five days a week, Robbins found his way to a home on the road, now performing over 200 shows per year in listening rooms and festivals across the country. Growing prowess on acoustic guitar through the years of touring has earned Robbins a large fanbase of fingerstyle guitar fans, and So Much I Still Don&#8217;t See&#160;is his first album that includes an original instrumental track, &#8220;Rosie&#8221;, named after his wife&#8217;s middle name. The song, a transitional moment midway through the album, was written in a painter&#8217;s style &#8211; following a melodic line through to it&#8217;s end, and changing chord colors around the line as it flows.&#160; This foray into instrumental writing comes as Robbins is increasingly being recognized as a strong voice in US fingerstyle guitar playing, not just as an accompanist to his vocal. This touring and subsequent songwriting growth has led to several awards and festival performances, making Robbins a 2021 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk contest winner, a 2022 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival &#8220;Most Wanted to Return&#8221; artist, and later a solo mainstage performer at each festival in 2023 and 2024. Robbins has expanded his touring to festivals nationwide, including the Wheatland Festival in Michigan, the Fox Valley Folk Music and Storytelling Festival, and has earned a title as &#8220;One of the most promising new songwriters of his generation&#8221; &#8212; Mike Davies, Fateau Magazine, UK Website: https://samrobbinsmusic.com/home Video: https://youtu.be/Wztx3ZAzhJw?si=nYuLXBecjg6fmnHK]]></description>

By their name, you know where they are from, and by their sound, you know what they are about. The Asheville Mountain Boys are on a mission to capture not just the style but the spirit of traditional bluegrass. Asheville, NC has long been known for great music and its roots in bluegrass go back to the founding of the genre (Bill Monroe&#8217;s first broadcast performance as the Bluegrass Boys was at Asheville radio station WWNC in 1938) A group that firmly stakes its claim to the tradition of the music from the area, The Asheville Mountain Boys spring onto the scene with a thought, &#8221;What happened to bluegrass?&#8221; It&#8217;s not a disparaging one that condemns current styles in the genre but rather asks, &#8220;Why do we love this music in the first place&#8221; and answers with an approach that is true to the originators of the genre in the sense of both style and philosophy. Bluegrass is raw emotion, excitement, drive, and authenticity. It is not sanitized or compromised but a reflection of the lives of those who play it. It&#8217;s storytelling that follows a throughline of tradition. Video: https://youtu.be/3X7uWaF21v0?si=FTBxzNIF9CxPMURC Website: https://ashevillemountainboys.com/home]]></description>

Created by master slide guitarist Billy Cardine, the project draws rich inspiration from the timeless beauty of Hawaiian music. Cardine has been recognized as a slide guitar pioneer, taking the dobro into unchartered musical genres. His distinct voice on all things slide has led him to collaborations with Led Zeppelin&#8217;s John Paul Jones, world-renowned bassist Edgar Meyer in Porous Borders of Music and alongside Jerry Douglas on Southern Filibuster. His unique slide work spans a wide spectrum of genres&#8212;from gypsy jazz to bluegrass&#8212;and has taken him across North America, Europe, and Asia. He has played legendary stages including Carnegie Hall, The Ryman Auditorium, The Grand Ole Opry, MerleFest, Bonnaroo, and RockyGrass, among many others. CarolinAloha has been featured at esteemed venues and festivals such as the Waikiki Steel Guitar Festival (Oʻahu), the Kona Steel Guitar Festival (Kona), and The Station Inn in Nashville, TN.

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 3pm, show 4-6pm. Tickets are $25 + fees. The Kennedys to release "Smoketree" - their first CD of all new original songs in three years! "...a simply mesmerizingly cultured and dutifully soulful new recording..."&#160;- Exclusive Magazine (July, 2026) Pete and Maura Kennedy met at The Continental Club in Austin, Texas, in 1992. They first played and sang together a few days later, and, in no time at all, they had written their first song. Their first date was a road trip to Buddy Holly&#8217;s grave in west Texas. Pete was a member of Nanci Griffith&#8217;s Blue Moon Orchestra at the time. Soon after, Maura filled a vacancy in the band. The duo doubled as Nanci&#8217;s opening act, and The Kennedys set off on a lifelong road trip.&#160; As a duo going strong for more than 30 years, The Kennedys have recorded two dozen collections of mostly original songs, along with interesting side projects. The duo&#8217;s early albums, beginning in 1995, established them as core artists on the AAA and Americana charts. Despite touring at a rate of 50,000 miles per year right up until the Covid lockdown, they found time for a four-year stint as folk deejays, hosting&#160;&#8220;The Dharma Caf&#233;&#8221; on Sirius/XM radio. When Covid struck, they didn&#8217;t lose their stride, performing over 150 livestreams and playing over 1,000 songs for a global audience. Nowadays, Pete and Maura are back&#160;&#8220;home on the road&#8221; and busy in the recording studio. Their 2026 release,&#160;Smoketree, is the follow-up to the duo&#8217;s 2023 release,&#160;Headwinds, which spent a month at #1 on the national Folk DJ chart.&#160;Smoketree&#160;consists of all original, newly written songs that reflect their feelings on things both timely and timeless: environmental concerns, social upheaval as families and entire populations flee violence, the search for peace in the world and peace in one&#8217;s heart. All of these are touched upon with their trademark upbeat tone of uplift and encouragement. They are known for bringing the light rather than simply cursing the darkness, and they continue that approach with&#160;Smoketree.&#160; Well-traveled, never tiring of the life of wandering troubadours, The Kennedys look forward to hitting the airwaves and the stage with their blend of energized folk-rock, passion, and a sense of kindred spirit camaraderie with their audience.

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).

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. Tickets are $20 + fees. Fans have loved Welling&#8217;s music from the inception and it&#8217;s clear to see why. Her bold, sultry voice, reminiscent of Sheryl Crow&#8217;s grit, Tom Petty&#8217;s pen, and Stevie Nicks&#8217; heart, is upstaged only by the genuine love and connection this natural performer has with her fans both on and off stage. Welling&#8217;s latest album, Crack in the Chaos, invites listeners on a journey to search for the joy in the turmoil, a testament to the belief that even in the darkest times, there is always a glimmer of light to guide us. Each track is a reminder that the struggle itself is a part of that journey. In each &#8220;crack&#8221; we find confidence and hope - the energy that drives us.&#160; Melodies rich in Americana pop blend seamlessly with her singer-songwriter roots and empowered, honest lyrics. But while this new collection of songs maintain Welling&#8217;s signature raw vulnerability and authenticity - qualities that are essential to her creative process - fans will certainly take note of a more mature and evolved sound. Fans are not the only ones who have seen Carrie for the brilliant artist she is. From touring with Delta Rae, Wyn Starks, Carbon Leaf, David Cook and Bowen Young to singing on the Melissa Etheridge Cruise and Sail Across the Sun Cruise with Train, Welling&#8217;s voice shines boldly and brightly the moment she takes the stage. Whether performing in The Netherlands and Germany, headlining Norwegian Cruises and the Meeting of the Minds Festival, or dazzling crowds at the Songwriter Island Showcase in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, Carrie Welling shows no signs of stopping.

Join us for a special evening of homegrown music from two of Wilmington's most prolific songwriters. Jeff Reid and Catesby Jones first met in the summer of 1983 where they traded original songs in a bungalow on the south-end of Wrightsville Beach, NC. Despite travelling different roads since that fateful day, they reconnected back in Wilmington in 1996, where over the years Reid has produced seven of Catesby&#8217;s CD&#8217;s and together they have shared the stage in countless performances.. Catesby Jones was born in Versailles, Kentucky and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio. As a young man, he began writing original compositions, playing in folk clubs in Boston, and touring on the fabled New York college coffeehouse circuit. He has held steady gigs in Cleveland, the Virgin Islands, a Kingsville, Texas honky tonk, the Rum Boogie Caf&#233; in Memphis, and The Bluebird Caf&#233; in Nashville. He won the Kerrville New Folk Competition in 1982 and, as a staff writer in Nashville, co-wrote Travis Tritt's breakout hit 'Country Club'. In 1993, he moved to Wilmington, NC where he has performed extensively and continues to pursue his songwriting career. Songwriter, producer and publisher Jeff Reid was born in New Orleans and raised in Wilmington, NC. He began performing in the Wilmington area in 1981 and has since travelled throughout the United States performing his original music. He has played hundreds of club dates, either backing others or performing solo and has engineered and/or produced CDs for many local and regional artists. From 2006 - 2011, Jeff was the publisher and editor of Wilmington's&#8217; monthly music magazine The Beat.

Tickets are $40 + fees.&#160; If you&#8217;re looking for a band that can honor bluegrass tradition and push it forward without breaking the spell, Full Cord belongs on your short list.&#160; Based in Grand Haven, Michigan, Full Cord began in 2008 and took its name from a moment every working band recognizes: an early show pile of instruments that inspired Eric to crack, &#8220;Looks like a full cord of wood sitting there.&#8221; It&#8217;s a fitting origin story for a group that brings real fuel to every stage.&#160; That fire caught on nationally in 2022, when Full Cord won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Contest and followed it by earning the International Bluegrass Music Association&#8217;s Momentum Award (Band of the Year).&#160; The band has continued to build momentum with records that blend high level picking, harmony singing, and modern songwriting sensibilities. Their releases include Choreomania (2019), Hindsight (2021), and the Dark Shadow Recording album Cambium (released November 2023).&#160; 2 new songs released summer of &#8216;26 with Billy Strings have grabbed attention with that Michigan bluegrass relationship between friends.&#160; Onstage, Full Cord is anchored by Brian Oberlin (mandolin/vocals), Eric Langejans (guitar/vocals), and Todd Kirchner (bass), expanding into a full, festival-ready sound with top tier fiddle and banjo players recent tours have featured acclaimed banjoist Max Allard and Chase Potter on fiddle.&#160; Website:&#160;https://fullcord.net/home Video: https://youtu.be/fuoF-UH_r3M?si=3D7wjTSMXovNsEGb]]></description>

Hailing from Durham, NC,&#160;Jon Shain is a veteran singer-songwriter who&#8217;s been turning heads for years with his words, his fiery acoustic guitar work, and his evolved musical style &#8211;combining improvised piedmont blues with bluegrass, swing, and ragtime. Jon has released ten solo albums to date, along with two albums with duo partner FJ Ventre, a Jon Shain Trio live album, and one album of co-writes with Joe Newberry.&#160;Shain&#8217;s newest album,&#160;Odds&#8230;and Even So, recorded at Good Luck Studio, was released September 1 , 2026.&#160;Shain is also the author of the music books&#160;Gettin&#8217; Handy With the Blues &#8211; a Tribute to the Legacy of W.C. Handy&#160;and&#160;Jon Shain&#8217;s Fingerstyle Guitar Method, both published by Mel Bay Publications.&#160;In 2019, Shain won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN in the solo/duo category. When studying at Duke with jazz professor Paul Jeffrey, Shain had the good fortune to learn the piedmont blues tradition firsthand by playing in Big Boy Henry&#8217;s backing band. It was at this time that Shain also got to meet and play with John Dee Holeman and a number of the great older NC blues players. Shain cut his touring teeth from 1989-1998 founding the Chapel Hill, NC folk-rock group, Flyin' Mice and their spin-off group, WAKE. The band performed with acts such as David Grisman, Tony Rice Unit, Hot Tuna, and the Dixie Dregs, released four CDs, and played clubs, schools, and festivals up and down the East Coast. Shain has also become a sought after guitar teacher and studio producer. In 2021, he produced Donna Herula&#8217;s blues radio chart-topping album,&#160;Bang at the Door. Over the last several years, Shain has headlined listening rooms both as a solo and with duo partner FJ Ventre throughout the US and he's done two solo tours in Europe. He has opened shows for John Hiatt, Keb&#8217; Mo&#8217;, Little Feat, and many other roots legends. When Shain is not recording, producing other artists, or performing, he stays busy giving private instruction in guitar, and teaching group workshops in songwriting and blues guitar. FJ Ventre&#160;began playing music with Jon in 1982 when they met in high school and have developed a brotherly connection that continues to this day. Ventre went to University of Massachusetts-Lowell, earning a B.A. in Music Performance and Sound Recording and remained for some time in the Boston area, performing in the city's vibrant music scene. Since relocating to Chapel Hill, NC in 2000, Ventre has performed with his own group The Swang Brothers, as well as with Chris Stamey, Wes Collins, Huzzah, and a who's who of NC music groups. In addition to being a sought-after bassist, Ventre spends his time behind the mixing board, producing and engineering at his own&#160;Good Luck Studio&#160;as well as writing his own songs.

He&#8217;s a weaver of tales, capturing the essence of human experience in every note and lyric. Chris Stapleton calls him &#8220;a modern Townes Van Zandt.&#8221; Lewis&#8217;s voice, often likened to molasses dripping from a Southern porch, carries a soulful weight that transcends genre. His music is a gumbo of feel-good grooves and vital social commentary. It is a testament to years spent honing his craft on the red dirt roads of the American Southeast.&#160; Read Sam&#8217;s biography to learn more about this soulful storyteller weaving tales of humanity.&#160; Nashville became his home in 2009. Since then, his musical family has included some of the industry&#8217;s finest. His discography, like a treasured anthology, reveals his artistic evolution. These include his self-titled debut (2012), and &#8220;Waiting On You,&#8221; co-produced with Oliver Wood,&#160; a masterclass in soulful expression. The introspective &#8220;Loversity&#8221; came out in 2018, and the stripped-down intimacy of &#8220;Solo&#8221; arrived in 2020. Each album, co-produced by legends like Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers) and graced by the talents of music royalty like Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson), Darrell Scott (Robert Plant), and the McCrary Sisters, has garnered critical acclaim, showcasing Lewis&#8217; unyielding commitment to raw songwriting. &#160;Rolling Stone included Lewis in their &#8220;10 New Artists to Watch&#8221; list for &#8220;Loversity,&#8221; an album Marissa Moss described as &#8220;seventies psychedelic soul with a storyteller&#8217;s eye, a swampy Southern groove, and an emotional, political punch.&#8221; Lewis&#8217; band featured a star-packed rhythm section, including JT Cure and Derek Mixon (Chris Stapleton), as well as guitarists Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart) and Dan Cohen (Bruce Hornsby).&#160; They provide the bedrock for his sonic explorations, ensuring each album is a journey into the heart of Americana.

Join us for a night of jazz holiday music brought to you by local drummer, Jon Hill, and his amazing quartet! Jon Hill is a drummer, educator, and performer based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Originally from Raleigh, NC, he began playing drums at the age of 5 inspired by his older brother who played the guitar.&#160;Jon continued playing drums through&#160;middle and high school,&#160;participating in the school ensembles playing in the percussion section. After school, Jon and his brother recorded drum cover videos to share on YouTube where their channel garnered over a million views and thousands of subscribers.&#160;After high school, Jon was accepted into the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA to pursue music performance. Under the guidance of the renowned drummer Alberto Netto, he studied and collaborated with exceptional musicians, contributing to numerous projects, recordings, and performances. Following his time at Berklee, Jon transferred to the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) to continue his performance studies. Throughout his studies at UNCW, Jon played weekly gigs alongside esteemed musicians such as Benny Hill (saxophone) and well-known jazz educator Jerald Shynett (trombone), while also collaborating with local indie, rock, and hip-hop groups, and recording drums for local musicians. In 2018, Jon graduated from UNCW with a B.A. in Music, and the UNCW Department of Music invited Jon to join their faculty as a drum set instructor, where he taught regular weekly private lessons and masterclasses to undergraduate drummers. Jon was accepted into the Jazz Performance Master's Program at North Carolina Central University in 2022 where he was awarded a graduate assistantship, which included a full tuition waiver and stipend. Relocating to Durham, NC, Jon attended the program while commuting and continuing his teaching duties at UNCW. Joining the NCCU program opened doors for Jon to perform with jazz legends such as Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, and Antonio Hart in masterclasses and concerts, enriching his musical journey even further. Notably, in February 2023, the NCCU Big Band, with Jon on the drums, secured first place at the Jack Rudin Jazz Championship held at the Lincoln Center in New York City, triumphing over top college bands nationwide. Since completing his Master's Degree in Spring 2024, Jon has continued as an adjunct professor at UNCW and Cape Fear Community College teaching drum lessons and music lecture classes at both colleges. He also hosts a local jazz jam, records drums for local projects, and films and edits content weekly to grow his educational content on YouTube. Website: https://jonhilldrums.com/]]></description>

Liz Longley is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter celebrated for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice and deeply emotional music. Known for her distinctive blend of folk, pop, and Americana, Liz has earned accolades from prestigious songwriting competitions, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition.

                                <description><![CDATA[Doors open at 1:30pm, workshop 2-4pm. Tickets are $40 + fees.&#160; Offsetting Your Songs Workshop In this workshop,&#160;Sam Robbins&#160;will teach&#160;proven songwriting methods to keep listeners captivated and create deeper connections through your songwriting and performance. If you have a song you need help with, bring it with you!! About Sam:&#160;Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona.&#160; After a brief stint on NBC&#8217;s The Voice in 2018, Robbins graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2019 and quickly made his move down to Nashville. After a tumultuous five years in Music City,&#160;So Much I Still Don&#8217;t See&#160;&#160;is the first recording made after moving back to the Boston area in early 2024. After trying his hand at co-writing country songs five days a week, Robbins found his way to a home on the road, now performing over 200 shows per year in listening rooms and festivals across the country. Growing prowess on acoustic guitar through the years of touring has earned Robbins a large fanbase of fingerstyle guitar fans, and&#160;So Much I Still Don&#8217;t See&#160;is his first album that includes an original instrumental track, &#8220;Rosie&#8221;, named after his wife&#8217;s middle name. The song, a transitional moment midway through the album, was written in a painter&#8217;s style &#8211; following a melodic line through to it&#8217;s end, and changing chord colors around the line as it flows.&#160; This foray into instrumental writing comes as Robbins is increasingly being recognized as a strong voice in US fingerstyle guitar playing, not just as an accompanist to his vocal. This touring and subsequent songwriting growth has led to several awards and festival performances, making Robbins a 2021 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk contest winner, a 2022 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival &#8220;Most Wanted to Return&#8221; artist, and later a solo mainstage performer at each festival in 2023 and 2024. Robbins has expanded his touring to festivals nationwide, including the Wheatland Festival in Michigan, the Fox Valley Folk Music and Storytelling Festival, and has earned a title as &#8220;One of the most promising new songwriters of his generation&#8221; &#8212;&#160;Mike Davies, Fateau Magazine, UK Website:&#160;https://samrobbinsmusic.com/home Video:&#160;https://youtu.be/GBl7nGjDgb4]]></description>

For 25 years, Mac &#38; Juice have continued to make tremendous evolutionary strides from their days as a dynamic acoustic duo. Now performing as a full band, their vast stylistic range is seamlessly translated into every original song. The sound is personally described as &#8220;Jammy-Soul-Rock &#38; Roll&#8221;- Organically crafted Rock music that isn't afraid to jam out and improvise, but with a Bluesy touch of Soul sweetness to smooth out the edges.&#160;MJQ consistently prove to audiences across the southeast that they are indeed a force to be reckoned with onstage.
