Thursday night at White Horse in Black Mountain, doors at 7:30. Good spot if you're looking for a mellow weeknight thing without having to drive all the way into town. This Black Mountain listening room pulls in acoustic players across folk, Americana, jazz, and world traditions, the kind of place where the room goes silent between songs and the sound carries perfectly to every seat. The crowd skews older and knows how to listen, so acts tend to lean into the intimacy rather than trying to fill a noisy bar.
