    Green Leaf and more

    Eulogy, 10 Buxton Ave, Asheville
    See details

    Presented by Eulogy & Grasping Air Booking, this lineup brings together Green Leaf, Howling Giant, and High Desert Queen for a heavy rock showcase. Greenleaf began as a loose circle of friends devoted to 70s-influenced hard rock and proto-metal, then grew into a focused band under guitarist Tommi Holappa, a co-founder of Dozer. Over the years the project included contributors tied to Lowrider, Truckfighters, Demon Cleaner, and Dozer, and after multiple releases it took a major step in 2013 when Holappa invited classically trained vocalist Arvid Hällagård to collaborate. With drummer Sebastian Olsson and bassist Hans Fröhlich, the group found an immediate spark on stage and shifted from side endeavor to primary commitment. Recognized for powerful live sets throughout the European heavy underground, they have delivered four albums since that change, pushing desert rock influences forward with each one. A decade on from Trails & Passes, Greenleaf now presents The Head & The Habit, drawing on past successes with the confidence of a band that plays harder and tighter than ever.

    Enjoy a private, hands-on pottery lesson tailored to your interests. Shape a few pieces on the wheel or try handbuilding, and the instructors will handle the multi-step finishing process. Your work will be fired and glazed, and you will be notified when it is ready for pickup or shipping. This typically takes about 3 to 5 weeks to ensure safe firing. Walk-ins are welcome when the schedule allows, and you can share any specific project ideas when booking. The cost is $75 per person for a 30-minute session, with discounts available for longer lessons and for multiple participants. Visits with friends or family can be arranged as back-to-back appointments so everyone can cheer each other on, or set up as a small group session depending on party size.
