David Earl is among Asheville, North Carolina’s more soulful singers and performers. Cutting his teeth as the token white guy singing gospel in the Kuumba and David Band, David Earl quickly gained a reputation as one to watch! 

We hope you come out to support these local musicians tomorrow night from 8-11! Suggested $5-$10 donation at the door! If you’ve seen David before, you know you’re in for a night of great music!
