In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the Creative Arts Guild has been intentional about supporting artists from the Asheville area this year - with a Gallery Exhibit at the Guild back in June, and now with two of this week's bands at Off the Rails! Enjoy an acoustic set from a Dalton favorite to start the evening, and then stick around to show some local love to our Asheville friends Friday night at Burr Park!

Dalton native Charlsey Etheridge's roots in Americana music run deep. She grew up singing harmony around her grandmother's piano and teaching herself guitar from her mother's old Emmy Lou Harris songbook. She has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Memories of Mine in 2013, An Acoustic Christmas alongside guitar legend Jack Pearson in 2021, and her latest release Scars of Mine in 2023.

🎸 𝟕:𝟑𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞: McKinney
McKinney is a bassist and singer-songwriter who lives in Asheville, NC. Her eclectic sound fuses elements of rock, jazz, blues, funk, and soul. With a style defined by raw authenticity and emotional depth, she has quickly gained a reputation for crafting music that resonates deeply with listeners. Her debut single “Stay” (2021), produced by Josh Blake at Echo Mountain, marked the start of a promising career. Since then, McKinney has consistently shared new music, each release reflecting her passion for storytelling and her dedication to a sound that’s uniquely her own.

Conceived in a shed outside of Asheville, NC, the Shed Bugs are composed of guitarist/songwriter Morgan Bevis, bassist/lyricist Andrew Stevens, drummer Fleming Talton, and keyboardist Andrew Miller.
