John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff at The Double Crown

John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff make a Wednesday night stop at The Double Crown, bringing their North Carolina take on classic honky-tonk country. Howie is a Raleigh mainstay with a voice built for George Jones covers and originals that sit right next to them.

The Rosewood Bluff is a full electric country band — pedal steel, telecaster, upright feel. This is exactly the kind of booking that makes The Double Crown a favorite for the country-and-western crowd in Asheville.

Show starts at 8:30pm. Cash bar, 21+. 375 Haywood Road.

The Double Crown is a honky-tonk and dive bar on Haywood Rd in West Asheville known for DJs spinning vinyl (country, soul, blues, punk), live bands, karaoke nights, and a small kitschy house layout crammed with old-school decor.

Regulars call it a true neighborhood anchor of the West Asheville scene: no pretension, cheap drinks, and a crowd that runs from tattooed scensters to retirees.
