A few weeks ago, I saw a Facebook event posting for an “electric violinist.” Now there’s a listing you don’t see every day when looking for “live music” in Hendersonville.
Granted, sometimes I see fiddlers who play bluegrass or country. I see an occasional violinist who is part of a band or ensemble. This might be the first time I’ve seen an electric violinist playing solo at one of Hendo’s popular venues.
I was intrigued and wanted to know more. The violinist is Paul Rene McIntire of Asheville. He’ll be playing Sunday afternoon at Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards.

If you’re a Dead Head, you know there is something special about the Grateful Dead, that iconic ‘70s band from California that personified the counter culture with its extensive world touring and diehard fan base.
Whenever I see a tie-dyed T-shirt, I can’t help but hear Truckin’ in my mind.
No one can truly re-create the sound or attitude of the Dead, but Asheville’s Dirty Dead will honor them this Friday night at Mills River Brewing Co.
Don’t expect to hear this band of six men imitate the Dead - expect to hear Dead songs (and others) with a bit more grit.
Live Music: Catching Up with Myron Hyman

“I love to play both places big and small,” he said. “Every gig is a new adventure.”
At 63, he is unassuming and easily fits in the WNC culture. You might not ever guess he has played with some big name musicians and even had his original music performed for the likes of actress Calista Flockhart at the 100th episode party of the comedy series Ally McBeal (1997-2002).
“That was such a fun show to work on,” Hyman said. “I was in charge of the lighting. On that show every week there was the bar scene, and we got some great acts in there. One day a musician was late and one of the producers, Steve Robin, asked me to sit in on the drums. Jane Krakowski was singing. I am not a drummer but could hold a beat. Right before we were going to film, the drummer showed up, (and) that was the end of my drumming career.
