Name: Music Matinee with Carson Bull
Start: 2026-11-08T15:00:00.000-05:00
End: 2026-11-08T15:00:00.000-05:00
Location: Fleetwood's

Music Matinee with Carson Bull plays Fleetwood's on Sunday, November 8 at 3:00 PM. Easy one to plan a night around.

Fleetwood's holds down West Asheville on Haywood with a proper dive bar setup, around 150 people max between the standing room and booths. The spot leans hard into punk, garage, and rockabilly with a solid local scene, and shows tend to run late into the night with street parking that usually works out fine.

West Asheville bar, live music venue, legal wedding chapel, and vintage shop rolled into one, housed in a former pawn shop at 496 Haywood Rd. Hosts rock, punk, and comedy acts along with weekly karaoke and DJ nights. Beer and wine bar only. Capacity around 50. A 1958 Cadillac sits out front; Sunday brings the Junk-O-Rama outdoor vintage market.

Locals say it's hard to explain until you go. Walk past the old Cadillac out front, grab a beer, flip through the vintage racks, then watch a punk band play a few feet from where someone just got married. Weeknights bring live music or karaoke, and Sundays have the flea market.
