== DINNER & A SHOW ==

** Not included in ticket; purchase separately on site **

A beautiful fresh meal featuring produce fresh from the gardens at Hawk & Hawthorne (& other local farms) is being prepared by ...

Habibi Village

Experience an authentic taste of Lebanon.  At Habibi Village, we unite the vibrant flavors and Mediterranean spices of Lebanese street food, with organic ingredients and local artisanal toppings.  We make our signature gluten-free dough daily, using our all-organic blend of buckwheat, chia and cassava flour. Our Lebanese flatbreads, known as manouche or saj, are a cultural delicacy and a daily staple in villages across Lebanon.  Crafted with care, each flatbread is a testament to our commitment to quality and tradition. Enjoy the perfect balance of taste and texture, made fresh with Appalachian spring water.

Yemanjo is the artistic moniker of producer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Harris.  Inspired by ethnic music from around the world and his own international travels, Harris concocts a unique and compelling fusion of downtempo, folktronica and organic house with influences from Latin America, Africa and beyond.

In performance, Yemanjo combines his original music with live singing in many languages, trumpet, percussion and other instruments in an electro-acoustic hybrid DJ/live set.

In an industry where so much music sounds the same and most DJs offer little in the way of performance value, Yemanjo brings a refreshing sonic diversity and decades of experience as a dynamic live performer and frontman.

DOBARAE

Multi-instrumentalist, throat singer, song writer, rhythmic producer- Dobarae- is about merging sounds and rhythm of spirit into a format for the body to dance. Blending primal energy with modern production, Dobarae’s sound is a journey- both grounding and transcendental.

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.

Our finances work differently than other venues. We are an intimate, independent and non-alcoholic venue, 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 [email protected] & let us know what you CAN offer. 

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

Conversely, if you are in abundance & can offer extra, there is 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 crew. Thank you for helping make this dream work!
