Live in Studio B, Thursday at 11am: Tanasi

Introducing the latest project of Western NC’s Anya Hinkle, Billy Cardine, and Mary Lucey! Or perhaps you’ve already gotten to know this trio of “worldgrass” musicians. As they describe it, their music “follows the invisible threads that connect cultures, landscapes, and hearts—from Nepal’s high plateaus and South African villages to the mountains of Appalachia—celebrating the shared human rhythms that surface wherever people gather to sing, dance, grieve, and love. Together they represent an eclectic variety of regional acts over the past 20+ years, including Tellico, the Biscuit Burners, Lovers Leap, and Acoustic Syndicate. They have a debut album coming out, and area shows including the Down Home in Johnson City on Friday the 8^th, and the Grey Eagle patio in Asheville on Saturday the 9^th.
