𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐮𝐫𝐬 is a two-man wrecking crew with influences ranging from modern jazz to grunge to instrumental hip hop & experimental music. Hybrid 7-string guitarist/loop freak Eli Kahn creates sonic layer cakes with the aid of his effects arsenal atop drummer Joe Enright's ever-expansive jazz beat backdrops to create a unique sound that is all their own. The duo has built a following with their dynamic live performances & their newest album "Music For Cats" is available to stream everywhere.
Cellist 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧 is a mix of mastery and maverick musicality; hip-hop influenced, rhythmically layered, melodically robust. Avant garde, folk-soul music, a key to navigate space, time, and change, gracefully, for those who use it. Driven by diversity, drawn to the cello's tone, cosmic strings calling souls home. His newest single, "Roses", was added to the New York Times "7 Songs You Should Know" playlist - he will be opening the show with some ambient/instrumental soundscapes & also sitting in on some tunes with After Ours.
“This Five Points neighborhood bar takes cocktail history seriously—it’s named after a New York bar once run by illustrious nineteenth-century barman Harry Johnson. The drinks menu recently was revamped after a pandemic-long season of sampling and testing. (Yes, that beats however you spend your pandemic.) There’s no better excuse to pull up a seat and see what’s new and delicious.”
“Little Jumbo was everything we could have wished for in a cocktail bar, and then some. Every cocktail has 5 ingredients or less to expedite the process, but don’t worry, the flavor is not compromised. We were totally impressed by the Manhattan service for Two, which was presented on a silver platter with necessary accompaniments- including a bowl of cherries!?”
“Simply put, Little Jumbo should be at the top of your list of places for cocktails in Asheville. The drinks and service are both top-notch, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a relaxed speakeasy, without a trace of the pretention that can sometimes be found in such places.”
“This warmly welcoming cocktail bar has a classic vibe and a focus on good, unpretentious service. Isn't that the way all bars should be?”
“Little Jumbo has a comfortable yet modern feel, lacks affectation and focuses on the drink and the experience.”
“As you sip your drink, you feel a cozy intimateness, yet there’s a buzz to the atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re a part of something bigger… a community, a neighborhood.”
