Musical Guests
Amanda Platt and the Honey Cutters
The music of Asheville, North Carolina based outfit Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters is nuanced, bringing insight and wit to the stories Platt tells through songwriting. Lyrically driven, the band’s country roots music often inspires introspection, whether it be about life on the road, heartache or hope.
The Dirty French Broads
Energetic and endearing, these Broads bring an infectious rowdiness and refreshing authenticity to a world full of big box stores and oatmeal raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip. Blending Americana, bluegrass, and whatever it is she does on that fiddle – these good natured troublemakers will make you feel like family, and probably get you dancing on the riverbank with your crocs in sport mode.
