MUSICAL GUEST: Singer / Songwriters in the Round
Dave Desmelik: Is a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist whose musical focus is on original compositions. What attracts listeners to Desmelik’s tunes, old and new, is the element of authenticity incorporated in them. There is no sugar coating involved. His songs are not wrapped in false smiles, rather they are stark and open and tend to settle on the pulse of everyday life.
Joshua Singleton: Originally from Jackson, Tennessee, Joshua Singleton has been in WNC (off and on) for 20 years. He took a 3 year break and did the Nashville Songwriter thing, scored a publishing deal and actually got 8 cuts with various Country Artists. In 2020, he retired from the music business, moved back to the mountains, met a girl, got married, and just recently released a 12 song album called “The Promised Land”.
Laura Blackley: Has been a part of the Asheville music scene for over twenty years. She specializes in country blues rock and folk and is known for her songwriting.

YAWNi makes experimental pop music, with heavy doses of noise and extraterrestrial country. Expect feral beats, playful synthesizer, wholesome guitar, and labile vocals. She has been playing her whole life from church choirs to riot grrrl to avant- folk to whatever outsider music this is now.
