Musical Guests
Amanda Platt and the Honey Cutters
The music of Asheville, North Carolina based outfit Amanda Anne Platt & The Honey Cutters 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 Hillclimbers
Led by brothers Blake and Conner Nagel, The Hillclimbers are an Asheville-based band featuring guitar, harmonica, upright bass, and drums. Blending Bluegrass, Rock, Americana, and Folk into what they call “Appalachian Fusion,” the band delivers high-energy originals, roots-inspired covers, and rich brotherly harmonies.
