Will Overman, a Virginia-raised singer-songwriter, enters a new chapter with new album Stranger, his most fully realized album yet. After leaving his debut behind, he pushes forward with nuanced, catchy tracks like “Virginia is For Lovers,” the cathartic “Held Up by a Woman,” and the deeply personal “The Bottom,” exploring doubt, relationships, and growth.

Grady Spencer & the Work is an American groove-based rock and roll band from Fort Worth, Texas. Born and bred out of the sweat and blood stemming from decades of gritty manual labor, Spencer channels years of music experiences into a tasty soup of country, pop and rock music pouring out into heart string-pulling love songs about family and friends.

Become a Volunteer Reading Tutor with Read 2 Succeed

At Read 2 Succeed (R2S), we believe all children are capable, brilliant, and worthy of an education that affirms their full potential. We partner with families, schools, and volunteers to support K-5 students across Asheville and Buncombe County in becoming confident, joyful readers.

Public schools-especially those serving Black and Brown students-are under-resourced and impacted by systems that weren’t built for equity. That’s why we’re looking for community members ready to show up with consistency, humility, and respect for the hard work students are already doing to learn to read.

We’re recruiting volunteer reading tutors to commit to one student for the full school year, meeting with them twice a week during or after school. Our tutors are trained, supported, and deeply connected to a network of people committed to literacy justice and educational equity in our community.

NOTE: All volunteer reading tutors are required to complete six hours of training across three days (Wednesdays, Jan. 14th, 21st, and 28th from 6 PM - 8 PM on Zoom)

Challenge yourself while drinking beer! Teams of up to 6 can compete for fantastic prizes. Join us in the taproom every Wednesday from 7-9. Bring a phone!
