Award winning songwriter and caring clown Ash Devine plays a versatile Earthy Folk-Fusion, with a community-based frame. From the farmers' market, to the nursing home, to the wine bar, to the arts festival, to the child-care nursery, to the grocery store check out line, Ash Devine is pleasantly surprising people everywhere with her participatory musical style that invites everyone to feel at home. With musical roots the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virgina, her bluesy Appalachian influence shines through unique and heartfelt finger-picked melodies of the Ukulele and Guitar. Ash’s musical performances include selections of traditional songs with an occasional sing along twist, along with provocative and poetically insightful originals. Ash’s stage presence demands attention of the heart, and asks people to participate in the civil duty of song.

Diane Cluck has been performing her original music around NYC and the wider world since 2000. Her songs have been noted for their "irregular, or even cellular, logic" (Other Music), her singing compared to "the broken coo of an outraged owl or howling bark of a horny dove" (Voodoo-Eros). Her live show focuses on singing as a healing, textural experience, leaving space in which listeners may wander, ponder or simply be. Diane's October 8th appearance at Firestorm Cafe marks her first ever performance in Asheville.
