== Bios ==

Samara Jade
Samara Jade is a forest‑frolicking folk troubadour, multi-instrumentalist, and musical seamstress who threads together earthy grooves, soul-soaked vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics into a genre affectionately dubbed “Philosopholk.” A natural-born songcrafter, Samara’s first instrument was a set of pots and pans as a toddler—and she’s been making joyful noise ever since. Drawing inspiration from jazz, blues, Appalachian roots, Broadway musicals, and the wild whispers of nature, her music dances between play and depth—offering listeners both heartfelt medicine and clever mischief.

Wild Roots
Wild Roots is an independent, women-led band based in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Headed by Julia Peach and Olivia Moore, Wild Roots blends banjo, guitar, flute, bodhrán, and deep harmony to create music that kisses your ears on the breeze. They weave together their instruments and ideas into love songs for the mystic. Their way of wandering the world will have you grooving and floating across the dance floor.

Olivia and Julia have co-created music for nearly a decade; in addition to being soul sisters, the two share a deep passion for sustainable living and environmental and social justice.

Mica Sun

Mica Sun works as a land-steward, storyteller, actor, teacher, writer, musician, poet, performer, and sacred clown for children and adults of all ages. Mica performed for years with The Faerie Kin, an Asheville-area stiltwalking pageantry troupe, and has produced various works of theatrical mythic storytelling, including "An Appalachian Winter" with FringeFest in 2015, "Ancestor Forest: The Earth is Alive" with Josh Fox and Street Creature Puppets in 2021, and the touring show "The Floating Kingdom" —a mythobardic musical fable in collaboration with musician and singer-songwriter Samara Jade, from 2024-2026.

== About Hawk & Hawthorne ==

We are 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. Homemade elixirs & healthy(ish) snacks will be available at the bar. (Cash preferred; venmo/cards OK.)

--> Children

Kids 12 & under don't need a ticket but must be accompanied & supervised by a trusted adult at all times.

Families are welcome but childcare is not provided.

--> Arrival Instructions and Venue Policies will be sent in the email with your ticket confirmation. Please read them carefully.

--> Please leave dogs at home.

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

==> Low on cash?

If you'd like to join us but are low on cash, please email us at least a few days before the event at hawkandhawthorne@gmail.com and let us know what you can offer. We have discounted spots available for those who need them, including BIPOC and economically disadvantaged community members.

==> Can you support?

Producing this gathering is a communal labor of love. If you're in abundance and would like to offer a little extra support to our amazing community staff, there is an optional "Crew Gratitude" on the ticket page.

A $5 contribution is automatically added to each ticket but can be adjusted up, down, or removed entirely.

All contributions are shared equitably among the crew who help bring these gatherings to life.

Thank you for helping make this dream possible.

==> Financial Transparency
We know attending events like this is an investment of both time and money. Here is a rough breakdown of where your ticket money goes. These numbers are based on selling 100 tickets, and final numbers will fluctuate based on actual sales.

Example breakdown of a $33 ticket

$6 goes to the artists
$3 goes to local production partners (decor & other production costs)
$11 goes to pay our community production crew (+ tip share)
$7 goes to the venue & covering free food for moms
$2 goes to marketing (show graphics, promotion)
$1 goes to hard expenses -- paper goods, cleaning supplies, etc.
$3 goes to ticketing and processing fees

The venue itself operates on a small margin. Most of the ticket price goes directly toward artists, production partners and the crew who help bring these gatherings to life.

Revenue from food and bar helps sustain the event and support the ongoing stewardship of Hawk & Hawthorne and the land that holds it.

==> REFUNDS & RESALE: Refunds are not available. If you wish to re-sell, we recommend using the Facebook event page associated with this event. 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 increasingly common on social platforms. We will not refund a ticket if you are scammed!
