CELEBRATING HAZEL DICKENS
Hazel Dickens was a prolific Songwriter from West Virginia. She would have been 100 years old this year. Hazel wrote songs about the struggles of working class people and in support of women’s rights. She was a powerful singer, who used her voice for good.
Local musician Melissa McKinney, also from WV, wanted to do something special to mark her own birthday this year. She curated this show to honor women who have and who continue to use their voice to fight against injustice and to bring inspiration and healing to others.

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.
