== BIOS & CONTEXT ==

Life Like Water :: Celebrate the Human Experience
Life Like Water is the creation of multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter, David Matters. It was initially started as a way for him to process his turbulent past and navigate an uncertain future, but it has since evolved into a communal effort to celebrate the human experience, with a focus on hypnotic rhythms, elegant vocal harmonies, and melodies with tastes of Africa, Ireland and the Middle East.

Høly River :: Waking Up to Join the Revolution
The music of Høly River carries the message of humanity’s need for reconnection with the earth. Mystically political and wholeheartedly grassroots this DIY band finds themselves playing on large festival stages as well as backyard fire pits of intentional communities around the world.

Høly River was founded by multi-instrumentalists Laney Sullivan and Jameson Price. Fusing together the pulse of drone pop, worldly instrumentation, this experimental music would best be described as a landscape, as a biome all its own. This musical phenomenon has come to be known as, Earth folk, a type of music inspired thematically by the natural environment: flora, fauna, soil, stars, and the human experience.

The Creative Body | Workshop with Val Scott (Optional Add On)
An artistic exploration of the legs and feet

Join us for an exploration of embodied anatomy, creative expression, and imaginal journeying accompanied by multi-instrumental live looping and electronic beats.

We will reflect on the anatomical and physiological form and function of our human legs and feet, the symbolic meaning of these body parts, and how creative play can deepen our connection to our inner mythologies and collective nature.

We will allow curiosity and creativity to guide us towards exploring how our legs and feet can guide us, ground us, balance us, and support our walk through this life.

== ABOUT HAWK & HAWTHORNE ==

Bridging commerce & community to nurture and enrich an emergent regenerative culture.

The Hawk & Hawthorne is a practicing permaculture community & regenerative event venue nestled just north of Asheville, NC. Check out the short video below for a glimpse into the magick.

Set in a retrofitted heritage tobacco barn amidst an expansive valley full of fruit trees, gardens, spring fed ponds & majestic views, The Hawk has been an organic gathering point for the Asheville & Barnardsville community for over 30 years, hosting hundreds of weddings, workshops & intimate live performances.

--> We are a non-alcoholic venue. Buchi Kombucha, Kefir Soda & Homemade Elixirs & food from our garden will be available at the bar. (Cash preferred; venmo/cards OK.)

--> Arrival Instructions and Venue Policies will be sent in the email with your ticket confirmation. Please read them carefully.

--> Leave dogs at home.

== A NOTE ON PRICING, ACCESSIBILITY & REFUNDS ==

Our finances work differently than other venues. We are small, independent and non-alcoholic space, which means we have to charge more for tickets to make our numbers work.

We love producing shows for the community -- and it's financially risky. We value both accessibility for the community and paying our artists & crew what they ask, while caring for the land as well. It's a continuous balancing act.

==> Low on cash?

If you’d like to join us but are low on cash, please email us at hawkandhawthorne@gmail.com & let us know what you CAN offer.

We reserve discounted spots available for those who need them, including BIPOC & economically disadvantaged groups.

==> Can you support?

Conversely, if you are in abundance & can offer extra, there is an option for a $55 Workshop & Show ticket and an optional "GRATUITY" on the ticket page.

A $5 tip is automatically added but can be adjusted up, down or removed. Tips are shared equally amongst the community crew who produce the event. Thank you for helping make this dream work!

==> Financial Transparency

We know coming to our shows is an investment, of both your time and money. Here is a rough breakdown of where your money goes when you buy a ticket.

Of a $40 ticket:
$14 goes to the artists
$13 goes to pay our community crew
$10 goes the venue
$3 covers credit card & ticketing fees

==> REFUNDS & RESALE: Refunds are not available. If you wish to re-sell, we recommend using the Facebook event page associated with this show. The Hawk also moderates a Telegram group. If you are buying tickets from people online, *please check with us first* to make sure they are genuine. Ticket scammers are becoming increasingly common on social platforms. We will not refund a ticket if you are scammed!
