ROBERT LESTER FOLSOM
Robert Lester Folsom is a Georgia-born singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music blends soft psych, Americana, and sun-faded AM gold into a sound unmistakably his own. First self-released in 1976, his cult-classic LP Music and Dreams quietly circulated in the Southeast before slipping into obscurity—until crate diggers and reissue labels revived his recordings in the 2010s. The album was re-released in 2014 by Anthology Recordings (a Mexican Summer imprint), bringing Folsom’s homegrown vision to a new generation of listeners.

Looking for real-deal live music in Asheville? The Grey Eagle totally fits the bill. This River Arts District staple is Asheville’s longest-running all-ages venue, and there’s something on the calendar almost every night—indie darlings, bluegrass legends, punk upstarts, even surprise hip hop sets. 

The spot opened way back in the ‘90s in a garage and grew into a must-visit hangout with tons of personality. Now you’ll find a spacious stage, great sound, open dance floor, patio for warm nights, and some of the tastiest tacos and craft beer in town, thanks to the in-house taqueria.

It holds about 550 people, so the energy is always high but never overwhelming. If catching concerts in Asheville sounds good, The Grey Eagle is one of those places you seriously can’t miss.
