Our grand old stage, built in 1926, faces a fully restored wooden auditorium with original vaulted ceilings – the natural acoustics are incredible! Pair that with our state-of-the-art sound system and very talented and experienced engineer, and you have an experience like no other in Western NC.
We like to say that we’re the little rock schoolhouse with the great big sound!

Appalachian Smoke is a contemporary bluegrass band grounded in the corners of North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. Their independent release, ‘Colder Side of Love,’ received three reviews in Bluegrass Today acknowledging their talented songwriting, melodic arrangements, and smooth vocal harmonies. They bring an “edgy, modern sound” to bluegrass music and “if they stick to this formula, we will be hearing about Appalachian Smoke for a long time.” – Blue Grass Today
