ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
🎶 CHARLIE CRAICHY
At just 26, Raleigh native Charlie Craichy captivates with a mix of longing melodies inspired by Phoebe Bridgers and lyrical storytelling reminiscent of folk legends like Bob Dylan. From front-porch fingerstyle jams to cinematic ballads, Charlie’s music is both delicate and bold—a perfect reflection of his journey through heartbreak and healing.

Known for his Asheville roots and years as the founding voice of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, Josh Phillips brings his seasoned band and heartfelt folk sound to the stage. With lyrics that resonate deeply, Josh’s music strikes a rare balance between thought-provoking and uplifting, creating an infectious experience that speaks straight to the soul.
🎶 LILAH PRICE
Western NC native Lilah Price combines folk-rock vibes with classical vocal training to create a sound that transcends genres. Inspired by icons like Joni Mitchell and Aretha Franklin, Lilah is dedicated to using her music to support her beloved home community. Her debut single, Kaleidoscope Skies, released in 2022, reflects her creative range and commitment to rebuilding Western NC.
🎶 ZACHARI CAHN
An accomplished musician, doctor, and community builder, Zachari Cahn’s music is a tapestry of melodic exploration and vivid storytelling. With a degree in ethnomusicology from UCLA, Zachari has toured, recorded, and won awards for his songwriting. His lyrical journeys are beautifully complex, offering listeners a chance to lose themselves in rich chord progressions and thought-provoking narratives.
SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS & ARTISANS
Adding a visual dimension to the evening, we are thrilled to welcome talented artists from the River Arts District (RAD) and Hot Springs. Local artisans will be selling their work with 50% of proceeds supporting their communities and the other half going directly to the artists. Look forward to pieces by notable artists like Bridget Benton and Natalie Richardson, representing the spirit of resilience and artistic talent in Western NC.
Bring friends, family, and anyone who believes in the strength of community. Your presence and your generosity make all the difference. Together, we can rebuild and strengthen Western North Carolina!
