Congress The Band is a North Carolina-based rock group whose energetic live shows and original songwriting have made them a fixture on the Southeast's independent rock circuit. Their blend of hard-hitting rock with melodic hooks has built them a loyal following across the region.

The bill is rounded out by The Gringos, The Band Solstice, and Olympic Blvd — making this a four-band night of original rock that showcases the depth of talent in the Southeast music scene. Congress The Band's local show has a homecoming energy that always makes for an especially fired-up performance.

Doors at 6:00 PM, show at 7:00 PM. 18+. Congress The Band performs at The Orange Peel, 101 Biltmore Ave, Downtown Asheville NC. A great night of original rock and live music in Asheville NC.

The Orange Peel is Downtown Asheville's premier live music venue and concert hall, booking national touring acts across rock, hip-hop, indie, electronic, and beyond at 101 Biltmore Ave. With one of the best sound systems of any mid-size venue in the Southeast, the 1,000-capacity room keeps you close to the stage without the chaos of a larger arena. Downstairs, Pulp lounge streams the main stage live for a more relaxed alternative.

The sound at The Orange Peel is genuinely exceptional for a venue this size — you can hear every instrument clearly even on a packed Saturday night. It's the kind of room where you actually want to show up early and stay late. Seen everything from sold-out indie rock nights to hip-hop headliners here and it never disappoints.
