Kids In America isn’t just a band; it’s a musical odyssey that started with our shared passion for the unforgettable decade of the 80s. Our journey began as an 80s tribute band, but our hearts couldn’t resist the magnetic pull of another era we deeply admire – the 80s. So, here we are, blending the best of both worlds, making us stand out as an 80s cover band with a twist.

Live Bluegrass with The Sons of Ralph band at Jack of the Wood in Asheville NC, Fridays at 7:00

Since 2011 North Carolina’s Josh Daniel and friends have been paying tribute to The Band’s 1974 “farewell” concert and film, The Last Waltz. What began as an annual Thanksgiving concert has expanded to a touring musical tribute. This dynamic show features songs from The Band’s catalog as well as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Dr. John, Springsteen and more.

Right Angle Entertainment and Paul Couch are proud to present the national tour of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, a new musical featuring songs by Dolly Parton and book by David H. Bell, adapted by Bell, Curt Wollan and Paul T. Couch. Set in the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains, this incredibly heartwarming, unforgettable production and amazing cast imagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the owner of a mining company town, where his callous greed blinds him to the joys and gifts of the season.

As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who compel him to see life anew and discover that love is the greatest gift we have. Dickens' classic characters and Parton's one-of-a-kind songwriting expertise are certain to make this a holiday event you'll want to share with those you love.

Red Legged Frog Productions presents
A Hawaiian Christmas with CarolinAloha featuring Billy Cardine
Mon, Dec 1 2025 • 7:30 pm
Join Us in the intimate 78 seat Tina McGuire theater for an Hawaiian Christmas!

CarolinAloha is the fusion of three deep passions: the mountains, the ocean, and music. Created by master slide guitarist Billy Cardine, the project draws rich inspiration from the timeless beauty of Hawaiian music.

Cardine has been recognized as a slide guitar pioneer, taking the dobro into unchartered musical genres. His distinct voice on all things slide has led him to collaborations with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, world-renowned bassist Edgar Meyer in Porous Borders of Music and alongside Jerry Douglas on Southern Filibuster. His unique slide work spans a wide spectrum of genres—from gypsy jazz to bluegrass—and has taken him across North America, Europe, and Asia. He has played legendary stages including Carnegie Hall, The Ryman Auditorium, The Grand Ole Opry, MerleFest, Bonnaroo, and RockyGrass, among many others.

CarolinAloha has been featured at esteemed venues and festivals such as the Waikiki Steel Guitar Festival (Oʻahu), the Kona Steel Guitar Festival (Kona), and The Station Inn in Nashville, TN.

With a rotating cast of exceptional, expressive, and joyful musicians, CarolinAloha brings the warmth and soul of Hawaiian-inspired music to the mountains of North Carolina—and far beyond. He will be joined by the UNC Asheville Director of Jazz Studies, Dr. William Bares on piano, Mary Lucey on bass and vocals and Landon Lush on ukelele.

Cocktail table seating upfront is available as well a bar for refreshments located in the theater.
