David Matters of the band Life Like Water, and virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Jackson Dulaney take the stage at the Canteen!
“Life Like Water has harvested a sound from the mountains of North Carolina that is uniquely suited to satisfy the needs of a world that is waking up. Some of their songs are a still lake, others thunderstorms, but the depth of their message is without a floor. From a dance with the devil to unnamed celestial sounds, this group of compassionate musicians offers fresh richness from the soul of Appalachia.”
-Ben Stockdale
Noah Proudfoot and the Botanicals
“Life Like Water makes music that is a healthful elixir for the spirit and a pleasure to the ears. Evocative and tasteful, artful and earthy.”
-Christopher Leva
Mastering technician at Grammy-winning Long Gone Sound Studio

Owen Grooms Presents Alex Ball and Potluck
April 12th @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Alex and Owen first met at old time parties in Asheville back in 2012 and formed a duo called the Franklin Rattlers soon thereafter. They have been playing old time and bluegrass tunes, Alex’s original music, and covers from folks like Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, ever since. Alex’s vocals, guitar and fiddle playing are all a real treat, and together their energy makes for a super fun and dynamic show. Come on out and enjoy the evening with us!

Owen Grooms Presents Jackson Grimm and Potluck
April 6 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Jackson Grimm marries folk pop melodies with the lonesome sound of traditional Appalachian music. In a region with a strong music culture, it is no surprise that Grimm’s songwriting is representative of his musical birthplace: Asheville, NC. His songs run the gambit from an homage to a traditional country waltz in “If Not For You”, an unrequited love song driven by a Beatles-esque melody in “I’d Hold You (But I Don’t Wanna Hold You)”, to a drunken partygrass song à la Old Crow Medicine Show in “Last Train Home”.
Grimm lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and can be found playing solo or around Western North Carolina with bluegrass band, The Bull Moose Party. The band is also the band on Grimm’s latest album by the same name, “The Bull Moose Party”
Grimm studied Traditional Music at Warren Wilson College under the tutelage of great players like Wayne Erbsen and Kevin Kehrberg. He also studied guitar, banjo, mandolin, and singing with the Western North Carolina music master, Josh Goforth. Josh was the obvious choice when it came to finding a producer for Jackson’s latest album.
Grimm also plays extensively as a sideman for his father, singer-songwriter Tim Grimm. Touring with Tim has taken him to over 20 states in the US and 7 countries in Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, & England). He has appeared on, written songs on, and co-produced the last two Tim Grimm albums. Jackson has also shared the stage and played with singer-songwriters Ben Bedford, Krista Detor, and Jennie DeVoe.
Owen Grooms presents Josh Carter Live and Live Streamed
Click here to watch the show live or recorded.
Josh Carter and Owen Grooms form a dynamic duo of roots musicians who explore old time tunes and blues, while also writing their own modern acoustic music inspired by the mountains they call home. Josh Carter switches between mandolin and octave mandolin, while Owen plays various banjos. They both offer powerful lead vocals, and often harmonize with each other. Together, they form a unique sound that blends traditional and original, with sparse, yet beautifully simple arrangements.
Owen Grooms presents Poet David Gate Live and Live Streamed
Owen Grooms presents Poet David Gate, March 23rd, 2026 at 6:30 pm.
David Gate is a poet, writer and visual artist that hails from London, UK and now resides in the mist of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina.
His work centers around care for the individual (heart, mind, body & soul) and the nurture of community (culture, the earth & environment, the dignity of others and spiritual communities).
David will be reading poems from his bestselling book A Rebellion of Care, and Owen will offer instrumental interludes on gourd banjo.

Charlie is a self-taught guitarist and singer from Shingle Hollow, North Carolina. Raised on a 100-acre family farm, his musical roots run deep in Bluegrass tradition. He began performing in a family band at age 15 before moving to Greenville around 1990. Charlie’s influences span a wide musical landscape—from Flatt & Scruggs and New Grass Revival to the Grateful Dead, Darrell Scott, Acoustic Syndicate, and Widespread Panic.
He recently celebrated 50 years of band music, along with 40 years on the bus.
Hickory Flat, his family band had 2 top 10 finishes at SPGMA International Band contest, as well as playing on the festival circuit in the late 80’s.
After moving to Greenville, he hooked up with Gene Dillard at The Handlebar Bluegrass jam and helped host the jam for several years. He then formed West End String Band, with his wife Kathy and Jim Rollins, which eventually turned to a 5 piece with Matt Purinton and Brian VanAntwerp. They played regionally for around 15 years, losing Jim to a car accident in 2018, a travesty to the band. They were quite the favorites at local festivals and events.
Presently he and Brian VanAntwerp perform as West End Strings and can be heard locally around Greenville
