Eulogy Presents: Old Sap (Album Release) w/ Jackson Grimm & Balm. Thurs, February 26th, 2026 Eulogy - 10 Buxton Ave. Asheville, NC 28801 Doors 7PM || Show 8PM Old Sap, poet from Chicago, rambled out to Montana, cut a banjo from a tamarack, strings across the country, foot like a freight train, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams. Marble Home captures the full spirit of Old Sap: the poet, the rambler, the philosopher with mud on his feet. Produced by Josh Goforth, the record spans the full landscape of American sound—from stripped-down folk confessionals to expansive, harmony-rich arrangements that recall the storytelling magic of John Prine, Tom Waits, and The Avett Brothers. It’s an album that finds holiness in imperfection and joy in absurdity—a kind of musical home built out of laughter, loss, and lived experience. This performance features an ensemble of mainstay Asheville musicians who all collaborated on the record over the course of five years. Josh Goforth (fiddle), Jackson Grimm (guitars, vocals), Rachel Waterhouse (keys & synth, vocals), Quinn Sternberg (bass), Jacob Baumann (drums), Ben Balmer (harmonica), and River Guerguerian (percussion). Experience the full album with an 8-piece band for an unforgettable night of dancing, heart-expanding, lyrical acrobatics, and sonic pyrotechnics. That's poetry-speak for some damn good music.

A long-time song-leader and ceremonialist, Samara leads community song circles, nature-based singing retreats, and rites of passage work that help people reconnect with their voices, each other, and the Earth. Whether singing about compost or transformation, grief or gratitude, frogs or fungi, she invites audiences into a shared experience that is both grounding and elevating.
