Ordinary Elephant • Sundays on the River at Olivette

Folk duo Ordinary Elephant play the Sundays on the River series at Olivette Riverside Pavilion on April 26, from 4–6 PM with doors at 3. The husband-and-wife duo from Nashville plays intimate folk built around close harmonies and emotionally direct songwriting — exactly the kind of music that lands outdoors by the French Broad River on a spring afternoon.

Sundays on the River at Olivette is one of the best outdoor concert series in the region — BYOB, bring your own chair, kids are free, and the riverfront setting is genuinely beautiful. Presented by Chatt Hills Music.

1069 Olivette Rd, Asheville NC 28804. Sunday, April 26, 2026. Doors 3 PM / Show 4–6 PM. BYOB. Kids free.
