Live Music by Demeler
North Asheville Library
Come to North Asheville Library for a live musical performance by Demeler, an acoustic voice-and-guitar duo. The pair specializes in the small, intimate spaces that inspire them--coffeehouses, wine bars, and other places where people congregate over art, great food or drink, and conversation. The duo blends their love of eclectic music (including many sounds from folk traditions and jazz) with their classical training for a refreshing blend of composed music, arrangements, and original material.
Visit demelermusic.com to listen to sample recordings. This program is free and open to the public, and no tickets are required.
