== BIOS & CONTEXT ==

Chances R Good :: Metaphysical R&B
Hailing from Colorado, Chances R Good is an innovative artist in what can be described as a metaphysical R&B genre, blending soulful rhythms with a spiritual essence.

Known for his unique ability to create immersive soudscapes, his music often explores themes of personal growth, nature, spirituality and cosmic connections.

Drawing inspiration from both classic R&B and new sounds, Chances R Good's performances are an evocative journey, leaving audiences both moved and inspired.

Numinous the Bard :: Mythopoetic Hiphop Storytelling
By day, Michael Numinous is steward of the Hawk & Hawthorne. By fireside and on stage, his superpowers as a Bardic Rapper & MC shine.

The son of two professional writers who read short stories to him as a child, Numinous is a life-long poet who discovered hip hop at a young age & fell in love with the culture. In his 20s, he discovered a latent gift for spoken word & freestyle poetry.

A modern traveling bard, Numinous spits poems from the pulpit of wherever the present moment finds him, whether permaculture raps on his farm or planting seeds of art in the minds & hearts of people he meets.

His music is made from & is in service to love of this earth and the hip hop culture that helped him find his voice. His pre-written songs are fresh, but there's nothing like a Numinous coming alive during the cypher.

== ABOUT HAWK & HAWTHORNE ==

Bridging commerce & community to nurture and enrich an emergent regenerative culture.

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.

== A NOTE ON PRICING, ACCESSIBILITY & REFUNDS ==

Our finances work differently than other venues. We are small, independent and non-alcoholic space, 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 as well. 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 hawkandhawthorne@gmail.com & let us know what you CAN offer.

We reserve discounted spots available for those who need them, including BIPOC & economically disadvantaged groups.

==> Can you support?

Conversely, if you are in abundance & can offer extra, there is an option for a $45 Workshop & Show ticket and 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 community crew who produce the event. Thank you for helping make this dream work!

==> Financial Transparency

We know coming to our shows is an investment, of both your time and money. Here is a rough breakdown of where your money goes when you buy a ticket.

Of a $33 ticket:
$12 goes to the artists
$10 goes to pay our community crew
$8 goes the venue
$3 covers credit card & ticketing fees

==> REFUNDS & RESALE: Refunds are not available. If you wish to re-sell, we recommend using the Facebook event page associated with this show. The Hawk also moderates a Telegram group. If you are buying tickets from people online, *please check with us first* to make sure they are genuine. Ticket scammers are becoming increasingly common on social platforms. We will not refund a ticket if you are scammed!
