Grant winners for 2026 in each community will be announced and celebrated during the center’s annual TangerKids Day in January 2027.

McKinney FIRST NAME MCKINNEY, LAST NAME MCKINNEY, BAND NAME MCKINNEY.
McKinney is a bass player and singer-songwriter. She spent her formative years in southern West Virginia where she literally LIVED inside a music school. Deeply incapable of leaving the Appalachian mountains, but needing an escape from her 6,000 person hometown, she landed right around the bend in Asheville, NC. When McKinney isn’t on stage you might find her teaching music lessons at LEAF Global Arts, working shows at The Orange Peel, or at lock on the rugby pitch.
McKinney’s music genre is about as fluid as the average Asheville resident’s sexuality. Her Indie Pop sound is blended with influence from her blues singer mother, a BFA in Jazz, and the 8 year old version of herself that just wants to play classic rock. Although pinning down her genre may be hard, you can consistently expect sad lyrics. You will probably enjoy her lyricism if you are emotionally suppressed and enjoy listening to sad songs to make yourself feel better.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156407/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

SONGWRITERS ROLLER DERBY SHOWCASE The Songwriters Roller Derby Showcase, presented by the Asheville Songwriters Association, is a quarterly music show with no roller skates included – just four performers “rollin’ out the songs, elbows-n-all.” Curated and hosted by Thomas Kozak and Jodi John Pippin, each “Derby Night” at The Grey Eagle will showcase the craft of songwriting in an intimate and welcoming setting. As an added element of the Songwriters Roller Derby Showcase, a surprise guest will join the performers on stage for interactive, on-the-spot commentary ~ a “look under the hood of the songwriting process” of sorts. The audience will have a chance to share comments as well, if they are inspired to do so. For most of the evening, the songwriters will perform finished songs, but they will also each share a brand new song that has not yet been performed on stage. Come support the songwriters as they show their vulnerable side and help nurture the art and craft of songwriting in the region and beyond. The performers for this first Derby will be:
Old Sap: Old Sap. Poet from Chicago, rambled out to Montana, cut a banjo from a tamarack, strings across the country, foot like a freight train, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams. Folk. Folk Rock. Americana. Silk and Stone: Silk and Stone is an Ohio-grown duo writing honest songs about life and the emotions that come with it. With acoustic guitar, close harmonies, and a shared love of storytelling, their music is rooted in connection and authenticity. At the heart of their songwriting is love, in all its forms. From falling in love and heartbreak to friendship, family, and self-discovery, they believe love is the thread that ties together the human experience. Their songs explore the moments that shape us. Lillie Syracuse: Pulling from a well of folk-rock, soul, and jazz inspiration, Lillie Syracuse has formed a genre bending artistry and writing style deeply and uniquely her own. With a voice often likened to Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt and Brandi Carlile, Lillie sings to the fullness that is being alive with a razor sharp focus on the heart of each person in the room with her. Lillie has just released her self produced sophomore album Big New Heart and lives in Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville, NC. Ryan Furstenberg: Ryan Furstenberg has been an active member of the Asheville music scene for almost two decades. His main project The Moon and You, a chamber-folk duo with his wife Melissa Hyman, has spent the last decade touring the US and Europe. Ryan also performs his songs under his own name and with his roots rock group Phantom Clutch. In addition to his role as a bandleader, Ryan enjoys collaborating and performing as a sideman with the long-time Asheville groups Tina and Her Pony, the Dulci Ellenberger band, and The Dark Turn of Mind band, a spooky October collaboration between The Moon and You and local songwriter Hannah Kaminer.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156770/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Athens, GA, Gimme Hendrix stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the greatest band of the psychedelic era, The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Our band is not just a tribute; it’s a journey back in time to when music underwent a revolution, led by the unparalleled artistry of Jimi Hendrix. As a multi-award-winning tribute band, Gimme Hendrix has been honored with seven nominations and four wins for the Best Tribute/Cover at the prestigious Athens Flagpole Music Awards. Our passion for authenticity has taken us across the United States and beyond, with tours reaching as far as Bucharest, Romania. The Jimi Hendrix Experience reshaped the ’60s and left an indelible mark on music history. Their sound—a mesmerizing fusion of blues, soul, R&amp;B, jazz, rock, and more—was nothing short of revolutionary. Jimi Hendrix’s contribution was not just music; it was a cultural phenomenon. In our quest to recreate the Jimi Hendrix Experience, we pay meticulous attention to detail. From our attire to our stage presence, we embody the spirit and style of the era. But above all, our focus is on recapturing that iconic sound. As a three-piece ensemble, just like the original, we deliver electrifying live performances that resonate with the power and passion of the past.

CORDOVAS Cordovas are an Americana rock band out of Nashville whose sound, equal parts soulful harmony, poetic craft, and cosmic improvisation, has long earned comparisons to The Band, Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills &amp; Nash. But with their fifth studio album, Back to Life (out January 30, 2026, on Yep Roc Records), the group sharpens the edges of its identity: road- tested, deeply traditional in the ways that matter, and determined to be respected on its own terms. The band’s heartbeat lies between two places. In Todos Santos, Mexico, where Cordovas have lived, written, and built a small community of artists, the songs take shape in their most relaxed state, often amongst a circle of friends. Then it’s back to Nashville, where rehearsal, touring, and recording hammer those ideas into their final form. This cycle has defined the last three years of work, producing songs that are both varied and cohesive, each one revealing another side of the band’s range. At the center of Cordovas are songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Firstman and guitarist/vocalist Lucca Soria, partners in what they call a “musical friendship.” The new record is a testament to their growth not just as musicians but as people. “I’m extremely blessed,” Firstman says. “Everywhere I look is love, and I set it up that way. My whole life is designed around art, not around bills or phone calls. Everything is based on love and enthusiasm, and it radiates from there.” Soria frames it differently but with the same spirit of devotion: “People are at service to us, and we are at service to them. I am incentivized to do my best all of the time in the service of others. In Mexico, it’s also a community. Everyone has a role, and I want to do the best I can for the community.” That philosophy is embodied in the band’s communal compound in Todos Santos. Over the years, Cordovas have acquired five houses there—each designed by Firstman, each tailored to the people who live or pass through them. More than just residences, they function as creative havens: a space where friends, collaborators, and fellow travelers are invited in to write songs, make demos, stage impromptu shows, or simply live alongside the band in a shared rhythm of art and life. It’s not a retreat from the world but a way of reshaping it—an intentional community built around the belief that music thrives when it’s lived in, day after day, with others.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/148221/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
