A beautiful fresh meal featuring produce fresh from the gardens at Hawk & Hawthorne (& other local farms) is being prepared by ...

Habibi Village

Experience an authentic taste of Lebanon.  At Habibi Village, we unite the vibrant flavors and Mediterranean spices of Lebanese street food, with organic ingredients and local artisanal toppings.  We make our signature gluten-free dough daily, using our all-organic blend of buckwheat, chia and cassava flour. Our Lebanese flatbreads, known as manouche or saj, are a cultural delicacy and a daily staple in villages across Lebanon.  Crafted with care, each flatbread is a testament to our commitment to quality and tradition. Enjoy the perfect balance of taste and texture, made fresh with Appalachian spring water.

Deca is a NY based rapper, producer, and visual artist originally from Denver, CO. Since his breakout record “The Ocean” in 2013, he’s gained a reputation and an international following for his vivid storytelling, introspective lyrics, accompanying animation artwork and handmade visuals. His new album, “Bough,” a collaboration with producer Dealz, was released October 2024. 

Born and raised in the Honey Island Swamp of Louisiana, Savej [pron. savage] is known around the globe for his unique and captivating “Ancient Future” sound. His integration of ancestral medicine music, organic soundscapes, and exotic world instruments with groovy tribal rhythms and Louisiana flavor effectively bridges the gap between cultures and the Ages of time.

Savej's live experience is designed to be a celebratory sonic ceremony, a remembrance of who and what we are as human beings, and a reflection of the primordial essence that binds all things -- all while infusing irresistibly danceable grooves and heavy-hitting bass.

He has performed at some of the most sought after stages and festivals, ranging from the legendary Luna Stage at Envision Festival in Costa Rica to the Portal Stage at Area 15 in Las Vegas.

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.

Our finances work differently than other venues. We are an intimate, independent and non-alcoholic venue, 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. 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 [email protected] & let us know what you CAN offer. 

We reserve discounted spots available for those who need them, including BIPOC, economically disadvantaged groups & people still recovering from Hurricane Helene. 

Conversely, if you are in abundance & can offer extra, there is 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 crew. Thank you for helping make this dream work!
