St Andrew's Episcopal Church

It's hard to put into words, isn't it, when something just feels right? But that's exactly how it was for Nick &amp; Brew. Like long lost brothers- one from the South, one from the North; one raised Protestant, the other Catholic. When they met amid the vibrant music scene of Asheville, NC, it just felt right. We think when you hear their "Nick &amp; Brewgrass" sound, it'll just feel right for you, too. &nbsp;Reception will follow.
