Not to be missed! Dylan & Jonah call their music kitchen-table intimate, born out of impromptu jams while dinner is cooking and hummed around the first cup of coffee in the morning. Their music explores the nuance of having and losing, seeking to equally represent both joy and sorrow, and is fueled by their passions for poetry and storytelling. Their first song together is out on Jonah’s debut album, Opalite Child. https://storyparloravl.com/calendar/juniper-bends-fall2026

Getting out of my comfort zone via this book has been thrilling. 😄😅 Trying something new stretches us in lovely ways--even if we think we might not be perfect at it. 🩵 If the sentiment, "perfect's not the point" resonates with you, please consider picking up a copy of Imperfectly Perfect Posey: A Wobbly Yoga Story wherever books are sold. 🙏🏻⭐️🩷And thank you again to @lockieavl & @103.3ashevillefm #writingcommunity #picturebook #avl #asheville #ashevilleyoga

Our Juniper Bends event is this Friday the 12th!
Tickets are here!

Our featured musician is Lillie Syracuse. Pulling from a well of folk- rock, soul, and jazz inspiration Lillie has formed a genre bending artistry and writing style deeply and uniquely her own. With a voice often likened to Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt and Brandi Carlile, Lillie sings to the fullness that is being alive with a razor sharp focus on the heart of each person in the room with her. Lillie has just released her self produced sophomore album Big New Heart and lives in Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville, NC.
