Ryan Price, Chris Smith, and Todd Hoke will put the ho-ho-ho into your December. Delicious cocktails + handcrafted songs + friendly folks = time well spent. Join us!
Ryan Taylor Price is a singer-songwriter from the Pacific Northwest who now calls Western North Carolina home. Drawing from America’s rich musical traditions, and playing a handful of well-loved instruments, he weaves stories into original songs.

Mare Carmody returns for a Christmas visit and we have really missed her! She is a voice of southern songwriting, having lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and North Carolina. Playing music has always been a way of life throughout her travels.

Todd Hoke will also be a part of this thing. So you know better watch out and so forth.
