Louisa Stancioff and Tanbark at Cork & Keg

Maine songwriter Louisa Stancioff shares a double bill with Tanbark, a trio playing Scandinavian and Celtic traditional tunes on nyckelharpa, flute, fiddle and guitar.

Stancioff records for Yep Roc, and her 2024 debut, When We Were Looking, leans toward quiet, story-driven indie folk. Cork & Keg is the small bar next to Weinhaus on Patton Avenue, a good room for a listening crowd.

Doors open at 7 PM and music starts at 7:30 on Saturday, November 7 at Cork & Keg, 86 Patton Ave. Cover is $10 at the door.

Located inside The Weinhaus, a 40+ year-old beer and wine store in Asheville, Cork & Keg Bar offers a refined selection of wines and draft beers by the glass as well as cheese plates and lite snacks. The bar features a cozy indoor space and inviting patio seating overlooking lively downtown Asheville and Pritchard Park, perfect for people watching or enjoying live music. Frequent live entertainment from local musicians makes Cork & Keg a favored spot for locals looking to wind down with a quality drink and good vibes.

Locals praise the friendly, knowledgeable bartenders and a well-curated wine and beer list. Many highlight the relaxed atmosphere, especially during happy hours or live music nights on Fridays and Saturdays. They appreciate the easy access to shop the adjoining Weinhaus bottle shop if they find something to take home. The bar has a welcoming, neighborhood feel despite its central location.
