[Rising Appalachia @RisingApp]

We return to our beloved Appalachia with two shows in remembrance and resilience of Hurricane Helene to bring music to our community. Held at Pisgah Brewing Company, these shows hold deep meaning for us and the community. A time to gather, reflect, and commemorate resilience through music. Bring your loved ones, your stories, and your open hearts. Let’s honor the storm and the stillness together.
