join us for “hell or high water” in nashville
We are proud to be part of Hell or High Water: An Evening to Benefit WNC, a special fundraising event to support Western North Carolina's culinary and creative communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
This intimate, one of a kind experience will take place on Saturday, February 22, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the historic Bell Tower in Nashville.
Grammy winner T Bone Burnett and Rolling Stone senior music editor Joseph Hudak will host special (and surprise!) guests, including Grammy winners I’m With Her, Daniel Tashian and Mike Elizondo, on stage for musical performances as well as conversation around creativity and the inspiration behind their songs.
Guests will enjoy an all-inclusive evening, featuring:
-- Multi-course dinner led by James Beard Award winning chefs Sean Brock and Brian Riggenbach
-- Live music showcase and conversation featuring T Bone Burnett and Friends
-- Open bar with a selection of fine wines, beers, cocktails and mocktails
-- A silent auction offering exclusive items and experiences
VIP ticketholders will receive additional perks, including an Asheville gift box full of locally-made treats and artisan goods, access to a private whiskey tasting room, and a limited edition signed poster from the event. Sponsored tables of 10 are also available.
100% of net proceeds benefit WNC Tip It Forward, a relief fund providing critical financial support to local artists and food service workers directly impacted by Hurricane Helene. The region’s food and beverage industry and arts economy are both fighting to recover after Helene upended Western North Carolina last fall.
While the disaster has faded from the headlines, recovery is far from over.
