WNC Songwriter Sessions and the Brandy Bar + Cocktails on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 – 7:00 – 9:00 PM at The Brandy Bar + Cocktails host an evening of original songs in the natural acoustics and listening room atmosphere of the beautiful and historic Brandy Bar located at 504 7th Avenue East.
Hidyho Neighbors! Another talent-filled, song-creating threesome will be sharing their lyrical and musical offerings for our June session at the coolest bar in all of Hendo. The Graybeards, Mike Hollon, and Annie Wenz will put the whooptie in your doodle. Delicious cocktails + handcrafted songs + friendly folks = time well spent. Join us!
The Graybeards (aka Rob Northrop and Larry Tambini) have crafted a sound that incorporates a blend of styles that reflects their influences from Folk, Rock, Country, and Blues. Two musicians that combine their musical talents with a storytelling element and celebrate the joy and grace of a shared experience.
Mike Hollon’s music blends elements of blues, roots, rock, soul, classic country, and folk. Many of Mike’s songs are about struggle and the strength of the human spirit. Throughout his lyrics, you’ll hear a call to keep moving and find out what’s next. “As my music continues to grow and evolve, the importance of artistic authenticity and human connection remains central to my songwriting.”
Annie Wenz has stomped her dusty boots through 25 countries around the world, cracking open hearts all along the way. After years of touring around the US & abroad, she wandered into Hendersonville, kissed the ground & popped the cork!
Hosts are Todd Hoke and Annie Wenz.
