Seth Walker w/ Goodnight Moonshine
Among the most prolific artists on the Americana scene today, Seth Walker is a multi-dimensional talent whocombines a gift for melody and lyric alongside a rich, Gospel-drenched, Southern-inflected voice with a true blueknack for getting around on the guitar. With his 12th studio album Why The Worry, Walker further builds uponthis reputation.Set straight by the title’s mantra, Why The Worry finds the veteran singer-songwriter letting go of the worryabout perception, the worry of over-preparation, and the worry that seeps in constantly from the news andnoise of everyday life. Taking a page from Willie Nelson, Walker embraced the country music legend’s sagewisdom, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything, so I decided not to do it.” Indeed, the album was justabout finished when Hurricane Helene hit Walker where he lives in the mountains around Asheville, and as aresult, the record almost didn’t see light. As catastrophe took shape, the album’s importance wavered in hismind until the central theme came back into view. The worry wouldn’t undo any damage, and there was stillservice in song.Growing up on a commune in rural North Carolina, the son of classically trained musicians, Walker played cellolong before discovering the guitar in his 20s. When his introduction to the blues came via his Uncle LandonWalker, who was both a musician and disc jockey, hisfate wasforeversealed. Instantaneously, Seth was lookingto artists like T-Bone Walker, Snooks Eaglin, and B.B. King as a wellspring of endless inspiration. The rest is his-tory. He’s released twelve albums, broken into the Top 20 of the Americana Radio Charts, reached No. 2 on theBillboard Blues Album Chart and received praise from NPR, American Songwriter, No Depression and Relix,among others.Alongside his extensive songwriting and recording pursuits, Walker is consistently touring and performing atvenues and festivals around the world. Along with headline shows, he’s been invited to open for The Mavericks,Marc Broussard, The Wood Brothers, Raul Malo, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster, among others.Prior to relocating to Asheville in 2020, Walker did stints residing in Austin, New Orleans and Nashville. He’sused those experiences wisely, soaking up the sounds and absorbing the musical lineage of these varied places.With a bluesman’s respect for roots and tradition, coupled with an appreciation for—and successful meldingof—contemporary songwriting, Walkersublimely incorporates a range ofstyles with warmth and grace. PerhapsCountry Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana, then Seth Walker—with his blend of blues, gospel, pop, R&B, rock, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.”

An Evening With Fireside Collective (Album release tour)
Asheville, NC – October 14, 2025 – Acclaimed roots-driven ensemble Fireside Collective returns with their boldest and most introspective album yet: “The Seven”, a collection of original songs written by three core members of the band. Drawing from the deep well of myth, mysticism, and symbolic tradition, the new record explores the sacred number seven as both inspiration and guiding structure. In nearly every culture, the number seven carries ancient weight—it’s the number of creation, transformation, and initiation. From the seven celestial bodies of classical astronomy to the seven chakras, the seven seals, and the seven trials of mythic heroes, the album taps into this symbolic resonance. “The Seven” is a sonic pilgrimage through emotional and spiritual terrain, carried by the Collective’s signature blend of fiery instrumental work, soulful vocals, and boundary-pushing songwriting. The title “The Seven” refers not to quantity, but to essence—a symbolic framework that binds the music together. Each song becomes a kind of gate or mirror: a reflection of the internal and external landscapes we pass through as artists, friends, and humans. Musically, “The Seven” builds on Fireside Collective’s reputation for blending the timeless and the progressive. Elements of bluegrass, Americana, rock, and folk intermingle in songs that speak of transformation, longing, resilience, and wonder. The result is an album that feels at once grounded and otherworldly—a fire circle beneath the stars. “The Seven” invites listeners not just to hear—but to journey. To pass through sound as though through seven veils, seven stars, seven steps toward something both ancient and new.
