The B's play the Great Hall at the Omni Grove Park Inn every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 7 to 10 PM. The name comes from the band: Bill Covington on piano, Bruce Lang on upright bass and vocals, and Byron Hedgepeth on drums. They play standards and classics of American popular music, and Bill has been at the inn's piano since 2000.

There's no ticket or cover. Grab a seat by one of the big stone fireplaces, order a drink from the Great Hall Bar and stay for a set or the whole night.

The Omni Grove Park Inn, perched on the hillside overlooking downtown Asheville, is an iconic mountain resort renowned for its historic architecture and sweeping Blue Ridge views. The Inn offers an impressive array of bars and restaurants, from the elegant Vue 1913 brasserie and steakhouse Sunset Terrace, with locally sourced steaks and seafood, to EDISON’s contemporary kitchen and craft ales bar. Guests and locals alike gather in the Great Hall Bar, with its 36-foot stone fireplaces, signature cocktails, live piano music, and an inviting ambiance for conversation or relaxation.

Locals respect Grove Park Inn for its tradition, hospitality, and the mix of upscale and casual eats. Sunset Terrace is the pick for classic chophouse fare and sky-high outdoor dining, while the Great Hall Bar’s live music and impressive sunsets are legendary for date nights or unwinding with friends. EDISON draws crowds with Asheville craft beers, seasonal cocktails, and the best mountain views for an all-day hangout.
