The Alexander Black House & Cultural Center presents "An Autumnal Appalachian Evening of Ballads & Stories with Ash Devine" on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
For the spooky season, folk troubadour and singer songwriter Ash Devine is bringing us ballads & songs of transition, haunting, death, mourning, and creatures of the night. Between songs, we also want you to share stories of any hauntings you've experienced in the New River Valley.
Ash Devine is an accomplished songwriter, ukulele and guitar player, performance artist, educator, and community-based arts facilitator whose work is influenced by her upbringing in the Blue Ridge mountains, and by her international travels to perform in health care facilities with Patch Adams M.D. Devine is known as a true ‘folk troubadour’ because she writes, collects, and performs cross genre music based on numerous folk traditions including original Americana & indie-folk-rock, traditional Appalachian old time, contemporary folk, country blues, historic bluegrass, folk revival, classic rock, and international folk music. Ash has self produced two albums of original music, and is working on two more, including a traditional Appalachian and folk legacy compilation.
Born and raised in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, Ash lived for over 17 years in the Western North Carolina region where she developed her studies of Appalachian music traditions.
