Blues Soul Roots Music From The Carolina Mountains

Come on out for a rockin’ afternoon on the patio at our Chimney Rock Tasting Room & Bistro with The JackTown Ramblers! It’s the perfect opportunity to test our new menu, grab a glass of Apple Wine and soak up the first weekend of fall! We’ll have The JackTown Ramblers playing from 2-5pm.

Their unique brand of entertainment fuses solid improvisational instrument leads and traditional bluegrass harmonies with a dose of ignorance in their live sets and a slick delivery of material that will make you want to hoop, holler and come back for more.

Now hailed as ‘one of the busiest working bands in western North Carolina’ by livemusicasheville.com, The JackTown Rambles have performed over 300 shows and have performed on the Red White and Bluegrass Festival and at the iconic Isis Music Hall to a sold-out crowd.

Blues Soul Roots Music From The Carolina Mountains

from mind blowing live performances and ground breaking music video projects, to his ongoing charitable efforts supporting Autism, Eric always brings an energy and creativity to any project he is involved with.

His live show is a bouillabaisse of influences, ideas, and improvisation.  You’ll hear sounds from Appalachia all the way to Arabia, and from Bombay to Britain.   Great guitarists from Tony Rice to Jimmy Page, Chet Atkins and Duane Allman.  Not to mention Eric’s interpretations of Classic songs played on his Irish Bouzouki that simply have to be seen to be believed.  You never know what song or even what instrument he will play next.

Eric has taken advantage of living in one of the most picturesque and beautiful areas of the USA by creating his ground breaking HIKING JAMS video series.  Featuring some of the most scenic waterfalls and vistas in WNC, Eric has fused live music and improvisation against the breathtaking backdrop of the area’s natural beauty.  His video series was featured in Mountain Express.  More episodes of the series are in production.

Over the past 7 years, Eric has helped raise over 100,000 dollars for Autism.  From supporting the St Gerard House early intervention center in Hendersonville, to putting on Festivals to help the Autism Science Foundation and other organizations, Eric’s passion to help stems from his own experiences raising his daughter with Autism.  He is committed to further educating people and raising awareness about the disorder, in addition to spreading hope through his music to those dealing with it.

Nothing says fall like acoustic live music on the patio, Apple Wine in hand, and a game day-style Low Country Boil dinner. Join us for a one of a kind experience with Ketch Secor, frontman for Grammy-award winning Old Crow Medicine Show, and the inimitable Molly Tuttle, performing an exclusive dinner show at our Chimney Rock Tasting Room & Bistro on Thursday, October 14th!

The Well Drinkers at 530pm

Dinner at 6pm

Ketch & Molly take the stage at 7pm

Drink & dance under the moonlight to the best of regional bluegrass & folk Americana with the beautiful Chimney Rock & Hickory Nut Gorge in the distance. This is sure to be a night to remember! Tickets are limited so reserve your seats today!

In 2017, Molly Tuttle was the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year award. In 2018 she won the award again, along with being named the Americana Music Association’s Instrumentalist of the Year. Her EP Rise was released in 2017 after a crowdfunding campaign. She wrote all of the songs on the 7-song album, which was produced by Kai Welch. Guests included Darrell Scott, the Milk Carton Kids, Kathy Kallick, and Nathaniel Smith. Tuttle released her debut album When You’re Ready via Compass Records on April 5, 2019.

An early Ketch Secor influence was John Hartford who performed for his first grade class in Missouri, making him want “to play the banjo after that;” and the first song he ever learned to play was Tom Paxton’s “Ramblin’ Boy”. Naming his major influences, Ketch states: “Certainly, Bob Dylan… Bob Dylan… Bob Dylan. More than anything else. More than any book or song or story or play. The work and the recorded work of Bob Dylan. It’s the most profound influence on me. And then the other people that really influenced me, tend to be the same people who influenced Bob Dylan.” Old Crow Medicine Show is an Americana string band, their newest album, Volunteer, was released in 2018. 

Cat and Crow is an Asheville-based duo comprised of talented singer-songwriters Scott Stetson and Bethany Harper. Scott, originally from Rochester NY, brings intense, soulful guitar licks and smart lyrics to the group dynamic, and Bethany’s sweet vocals and steady rhythm guitar compliment Scott’s lyrics and leads like a cool breeze on a hot day. Bluegrass and country ruled the world in Bethany’s hometown in West Virginia, and she brings that love of strong storytelling and clear melodies into her own style. Scott’s blues, punk, and Alt Country influences give an energy and angst to his style that leaves you wanting more.

Ben Phantom is a songwriter, videographer, multi-instrumentalist, music producer, traveler, and long-distance hiker. His path, carved by music, has taken him from the North American wilderness to Vietnam, Cambodia, Israel, Central America, and finally to his mountain home in Asheville, North Carolina. Phantom is a passionate and captivating performer who writes from the heart, speaks to the soul, and never forgets to find the humor in life. He believes that we heal each other through building community, developing deep relationships, and being of service.

Rush Morgan is a kaleidoscope of folk-rock and Americana spirit, held together by strands of old soul and timeless rock inspirations. 

After spending a year in Nashville attending the respected Dark Horse Institute, Rush cut his teeth and cut his debut record, River Stone—an album that was highly acclaimed, being described as the workings of a “true musical omnivore” in the Greenville Journal. The album was recorded with renowned producer & multi-instrumentalist Jon Estes (who’s worked with Langhorne Slim, Dolly Parton, Kesha, and more).

Letters to Abigail is an acoustic Americana band fronted by female vocalist, and songwriter, Kelli Redmond, James Harrell vocal, guitar, songwriter.

J.Stephens (Jonathan Stephens) is a one-man band singer songwriter based out of Spartanburg South Carolina.

I started writing songs around the age of 10. I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas when I was 16 and fell head over heels in love with singing and songwriting. However, I also played drums in a band called eleventyseven. So in a nutshell, the band signed a record deal and I spent the next 10 years traveling the world playing drums. For a decade, I had to put singing and songwriting on the back burner. The band played their last show in Germany in October of 2012. As soon as I came home, I dove head first back into singing and writing. 5 years and many songs later, I feel like it’s time to stop sitting on these songs and let folks hear them.
