Owen Grooms Presents Marc Brown and Potluck

By |July 27th, 2026|Categories: General News, Owen Live Stream|

 

Click here to view the live stream or recording.

Marc Brown returns to the  Cedar Mountain Canteen to share his collection of old songs by interesting people. Cool old tunes you never knew you knew. Think Acoustic blues, Old Classic Country, Swing  and American Songbag……  Think Led Belly and Tommy Dorsey visit Gene Autry’s  front parlor…..  What??  Guitar , harmonica, resonator,  soulful vocals, and weird whistling with a good story in between. Quite possibly a mystery guest??? Marc is a frequent performer in the area. While not apologetic for his Yankee roots, he has ‘seen the light’ to a better way of life in Western NC.

We are also hosting a community potluck this evening and every Monday from 6–8 pm. Please bring a dish to share and your own non-disposable place setting. If you cannot bring food, for any reason, we are happy to feed you. We look forward to sharing a meal together.

Madelyn ilana is a singer-songwriter and violinist based in Asheville, North Carolina, creating music that is at once dreamy and grounded, intimate and expansive. With three albums of original work, her sound blends indie folk with ambient textures and lush violin arrangements, offering a listening experience that is both soothing and deeply evocative.

Her songs are poetic and emotionally raw, exploring themes of transformation, longing, and spiritual seeking, with a vocal style often described as angelic, expressive, and disarmingly honest. Whether gently meditative or quietly powerful, her music invites listeners into a space of reflection, presence, and feeling. As a violinist, Madelyn weaves fluid, expressive lines through her performances, moving between delicate soundscapes and more rhythmic, earthy textures. Her live sets can shift from tender and spacious to subtly upbeat and edgy, always rooted in authenticity and emotional depth.
