Benny the Butcher plays Thursday, November 12. Buffalo rapper who dropped Tana Talk 3 in 2018 and blew up as part of Griselda Records. Gritty street rap with that raw boom-bap production, collaborates heavy with Conway the Machine and Westside Gunn.

The whole room stands at Eulogy, so get there when doors open if you want a good sightline up front. It's a 400-cap spot that opened in 2023 on Buxton Ave in South Slope, and they run it cashless with a full bar but no kitchen, though you can order from the Burial spot next door if you need to eat. All-ages shows run early since anyone under 21 has to clear out by 11pm.

Eulogy is Burial Beer's dedicated music venue on Buxton Ave in Asheville's South Slope, a converted space for heavy, indie, electronic, jazz and underground live shows with a serious sound system. Shows are all ages until 11 PM and 21+ after.

Locals call it the best room in Asheville for a heavy show. The sound is loud but clean, the sight lines work from anywhere in the room, and there's Burial beer on tap. It brings in acts you won't catch anywhere else in WNC.
