Live Music
It’s been a long day of adventure and you’re looking for a place to rest and chillout for a bit. Let the smooth tunes of local musicians soothe your aching feet and relax for a while.
Nothing beats watching talented musicians perform their craft in a cozy setting. Escape the city of Asheville and come north to Madison County where a number of venues, open mics and musical events are happening nearly every day of the week. Madison County has a particularly vibrant bluegrass and ‘mountain music’ scene but all genres of music can be found within our county.
“Awesome musicians. The perfect end to a perfect day.”
