Matt Smith’s Well-Crafted Music Series with The Carpenter Ants

Bio: Even the best bands come and go but the Carpenter Ants have been around – with virtually the same lineup – for 25 years. The Ants have defied the odds and outlasted most of their peers for a number of reasons. First and foremost, after more than 2,000 performances, regardless of the occasion, the band never fails to have a good time – and that feeling is contagious. Matt Smith’s Well-crafted Music Series The Well-Crafted Music Series is a weekly showcase curated by pedal steel guitarist Matt Smith, bringing standout talent to Asheville through fresh, genre-defying collaborations. Drawing from more than 20 years of touring and recording, the series highlights artists Matt has met and worked with along the way, creating one-of-a-kind performances you won’t see anywhere else. May – October, this series typically takes place on our scenic Meadow stage. During cooler months, Matt and friends will play in the Taproom. Chairs, blankets and well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome in the Meadow. Please note that coolers and outside alcohol are not permitted on the premises.
