We’re capping off our ST. PATRICK’S DAY WEEKEND CELEBRATION at @jackofthewood with newly-minted DOUBLE IN TOWN — featuring local favorites CRAIG KELLBERG & KRISTINA MILLER — playing an eclectic blend of Irish-infused folk & lively traditional Irish tunes starting at 7:30pm MONDAY 3/17! 

Kellberg, a much in-demand bassist in the Asheville music scene (who’s also fond of the hurdy-gurdy), and Miller, an accomplished violinist & music teacher, are no strangers to the Jack stage — and both collectively and independently have played in many a favorite local ensemble — are thrilled to be celebrating the rich Irish musical heritage that has brought so much to the WNC sound.

Of course, we'll have beloved Irish comfort food & festive pours all day — and a special edition of our Traditional Irish Music Session going from 1-6pm — so y'all get here early and get your ST. PADDY'S PARTY on all day! 

$5 door charge starts at 6:30pm. 🍀 Open from 11am-Midnight!

Sláinte, y’all! 🇮🇪
