Pisgah
Brewing Company and Oskar Blues Brewery are teaming up with some
of Asheville’s finest pickers to raise money and lift spirits in benefit of
OBB’s nationally active foundation, CAN’d Aid. This concert event
will feature Asheville’s one-and-only Sanctum Sully, with a special
opening set from Bobby Miller’s Joint Co Mission.

The
event is slated for Saturday, December 21st, and $2 from every
ticket purchase will go directly to benefit CAN’d Aid and the Colorado flood
relief efforts. Select beer purchases will also benefit the cause, with
special guest taps from Oskar Blues Brewery.
The
CAN’d Aid Foundation was established in 2013 as an avenue for community
outreach and support from the Oskar Blues Brewery on a local and national
scale. Oskar Blues’ owner Dale Katechis has been involved in community
outreach for more than 15 years before coming up with CAN’d Aid as a way to
focus their activity year round. CAN’d Aid and its operations have been
focused towards helping their hometown communities of Lyons and Longmont, CO
after the devastating floods earlier this year.
A
polished five-piece acoustic unit that’s been voted one of Western North
Carolina’s top three bluegrass bands for four years running, the members of
Sanctum Sully grew up as fans of numerous genres before ultimately joining
forces in 2008. With three-part harmonies, mandolin, guitar, banjo and bass,
Sanctum Sully can certainly pull off a traditional bluegrass tune in style. But
their blues-riffs, crowd-infecting energy and can’t-believe-it-covers make them
something notably different and indisputably fun.
The
CAN’d Aid Benefit will take place in Pisgah Brewing’s newly revamped taproom
with doors opening to ticket holders at 8pm with music slated to begin at
9pm. Tickets will be $10 in advance and $12 day of show. Advance tickets
can be purchased in the taproom at Pisgah Brewing Company with no service fees,
or online at www.pisgahbrewing.com.
