Virginia Drake music and True Voice present!
Becca Sloan
Graciela Serena Music (and True Voice Co-Coach)
Benjamin Wolf
And Castle!

It’s a party! Not to mention some of my favorite vendors at Mars Hill FM!

🎶🎶FEATURED MUSICIAN for THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 28th🎶🎶

Virginia Drake delivers sweet and sassy Americana Roots originals, high-steppin’ bluegrassy jigs, local Appalachian favorites and classic country songs.

"One could call Virginia's music Americana, but that doesn't quite cover it. Her “stories in song” span across genres from gospel reverence to nature, Celtic ballads to the divinity of our sleep, hoedown tunes to scorned lovers, jazzy tunes about a barfly with the gift of gab or just plain ole’ tender country love songs. With powerful vocals and accompaniment on mandolin and guitar, Virginia keeps you leaning in for the next one!"
A transplant from Austin/Wimberley, TX, Virginia considers Asheville her true home, as it’s the only place to which she has felt true “roots.”

Join us this Saturday for a great market morning! See you there!

Graciela and I are safe and sound! Our house suffered no damage save some downed trees and we have reserve food and water for now. And family sending donations to us and others in need. We’re situated in East Asheville up 2200 ft elevation just after the French Broad River devastation in downtown Asheville and the River Arts District and just before you reach Swannanoa (River of the same name) to the East which suffered devastating mudslides and flooding.
Now that communications are restored, we’ll figure out the best way to join the efforts to help where we can. So many blessings to be grateful for and many more prayers for those who’ve lost loved ones, their homes, businesses and livelihoods. If you’re in Asheville or surrounding areas, Please reach out if you need anything!
Love to all of you!

Well, it's about time! I must admit, I was a little derailed by some bumps in the road in 2023; but nevertheless patiently waiting for/manifesting some changes that needed to happen.
Changes that would circle me Back to the Music!

My bluegrass guitar picking goals were redirected/postponed due to a broken wrist (and tailbone!) but I've picked up the pieces and have dedicated my grateful attention to a new musical endeavor! We play some favorite country/bluegrassy/folk covers but I'll be playing mostly originals. :) I'm so very excited to share this with all y'all!

We have several gigs on the schedule but I invite you to please come out and help support this new musical collaboration at our debut show (at the Grey Eagle Patio stage) on Oct 5th!
Tickets here! https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/44651097/patiomountain-mama-band-asheville-grey-eagle-patio-stage

May all of you rise from the ashes of obstacles and say "Ha! I Ain't Done Yet!

Music and Sound! We’re still just skimming the surface of knowledge, healing, science, application and wonder at how much it all affects our body, mind, and universe!

Asheville True Voice is Bringing in the Spring with another "Sing Club" Vocal Performance workshop at Experience Music Studios in downtown Asheville, NC!
Asheville's local Dan Newsom will lend his crazy-good skills on the keys and his extensive professorship of music in the workshop.

Getting up on stage and singing solo for the first time is often horrifying for some; if you are put in an environment where you and your peers are being courageous together (singing songs you love to sing!) it makes all the difference.
Or maybe you'd like to participate in the workshops as a performing professional who just needs to hone your live performance skills!

If you are interested in taking voice lessons and participating in workshops (sometimes full band performances!) and/or just accessing your true, genuine, magical voice, please give us a call! We'd love to have you in our circle of music love!

In-Studio AND Virtual Private and Group classes available. We're now accepting NEW students. www.truevoicelessons.com
