Live Music: Suns of Stars
Join us at Watershed in Old Fort, NC for FREE Live Music by Suns of Stars on Saturday, July 25th from 4-7pm!
About Suns of Stars:
Orbiting around Asheville's grateful music scene since late 2023, Suns Of Stars blends contemporary and traditional bluegrass with a high energy jam style. At its core lies the trio of Alex Bazemore (guitar), and Asheville's own Jackson Chisholm (upright bass) and Johnny Humphries (mandolin), son of local Bluegrass legend Don Humphries. As Suns Of Stars has been gathering momentum they've picked up Alex Ball (fiddle) and Jason Flournoy (banjo). Suns Of Stars members are all hometown heroes in various musical projects around town which has led to great turnout at their shows. That, along with a massive song repertoire and growing list of original music make for a unique performance each time.
Unfamiliar with Watershed?
Our 117 acre bike park, brewery, and BBQ join is part of the Foothills Farm & Butchery family businesses (Butcher Shop, Grange, and Hell or High Water in Black Mountain, NC) and is built for full days out with the whole crew. Ride backcountry trails or the pump track, wade in the Catawba River or float in our natural pond, then settle into a cold craft Butcher Babe beer and smoked BBQ without ever moving the car. Bring the kids, bring the group, bring whoever needs a good day outside.
