GOLDEN FOLK SESSIONS
Golden Folk Sessions (formerly Open Folk AVL) offers an intimate, carefully curated listening experience that celebrates the art of original music. Each event showcases six handpicked artists, performing three-song sets in a quiet, seated environment where the music takes center stage. To add a sense of surprise and discovery, the lineup is revealed only when the show begins.
Running from 7–9 PM, these early shows create the perfect evening for music lovers who value live performances and a good night’s rest.
With over 100 shows hosted and extraordinary artists from around the globe gracing our stage, Golden Folk Sessions is entering an exciting new chapter. Under a new name and with a new home at The Grey Eagle—one of the Southeast’s most iconic venues—we’re thrilled to continue fostering community through music.

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.

Locals rave about The Grey Eagle as a go-to destination for authentic Asheville music experiences. Whether it’s a cutting-edge local band or a nationally touring act, the crowd here is welcoming and passionate.
