Saylor Brothers Jamgrass Wednesdays at French Broad River Brewery

The Saylor Brothers run a Wednesday night jamgrass residency at French Broad River Brewery from 6:30–8:30 PM — tight acoustic picking that builds into extended improvisational jams with rotating guest musicians joining each week. Free, every Wednesday.

It's the kind of night where serious players show up to trade licks and the crowd gets louder as the pints go down.

101 Fairview Rd, Asheville NC 28803. Wednesdays 6:30–8:30 PM. No cover.

French Broad River Brewery, located at the edge of Biltmore Village, has been part of Asheville’s craft beer scene since 2000. The taproom is all about European-inspired beers, from crisp pilsners and hazy IPAs to rich porters. 

Pair a pint with hand-tossed pizza from their in-house kitchen (when open) or check out the food truck schedule. The space is laid-back, family-friendly, and dog-friendly, with games and big-screen TVs for sports fans.

Locals dig French Broad River Brewery for its classic beer styles, regular live music, and warm community vibe that makes everyone feel at home. The brewery hosts bluegrass, reggae, and a mix of genres on its taproom stage—so the music calendar is always worth a look. 

It’s a favorite for catching up with friends, listening to Asheville’s local bands, and enjoying chill afternoons just minutes from the Biltmore Estate.
