Traditional Bluegrass w/ The Asheville Mountain Boys

Traditional Bluegrass w/ The Asheville Mountain Boys plays 5 Walnut Wine Bar on Monday, November 9 at 8:00 PM. Grab a friend and make a night of it.

This downtown Walnut Street spot keeps it relaxed and approachable, no wine snobbery, just solid pours and a room that fits about 75 without feeling precious. The adjoining cheese shop hooks up boards if you want to post up at the window bar, and with live music most nights without a cover, it's the kind of place where you can actually hear the band without someone in a blazer explaining terroir.

It’s also known for live music most nights, from jazz and blues to Americana, which adds just the right vibe without overpowering your conversation.
