Silas Durocher is a composer, guitarist, songwriter, and singer who “understands that there are many mansions in the house of music and naturally partakes of all of them.” Bridging many styles, Silas’ music often focuses on combining classical music with funk and rock n’ roll to create “music for the head, the heart, and the hips.” With this central idea, Silas’ music appears in many forms, including works for orchestra, chamber ensembles, rock bands, or even solo performances.
Along with long-time friend and musical partner, bassist Jesse Gentry, Silas formed The Get Right Band, a funk/rock/boogie band known for their high energy live shows. While they are indeed all of those musical styles things, they are fiercely determined to not be pigeon-holed by any style or label. They are shapeshifters, focused on following their muses to honest self-expression, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory. They tour throughout the East Coast and the Caribbean, amassing crowds of dancing fans wherever they go.
The Get Right Band is releasing their much anticipated, first ever live album at Ambrose West on January 26th with opening act, Three Star Revival, starting at 8pm.

Katie is a firm believer in the healing and transformative powers of yoga, but it took nearly 16 years of half-hearted practice and a cross-country move from California back to North Carolina for things to click. Here, in these majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, she cultivated more than a commitment to the physical limb of yoga—she discovered a sanctuary of deeply soulful yogis that fostered a profound shift in how she relates to others and herself on and off the mat. As a recovering over achiever, go-getter, mental gymnast, and people pleaser, Katie finds that yoga helps her drop out of her head and into her body, feel grounded in the present moment, and let go of external measures of success.
Katie is passionate about serving others and empowering people and communities to engage in healthy, sustainable lifestyles. Currently she does this as the Guest Services Manager at Asheville Yoga Center, where she oversees the Studio and its robust class schedule (more than 100 a week!), as well as manages the front desk staff and instructors.
Enjoy this one-hour Living Well where Katie shares about her passion and the benefits of yoga and all the exciting things happening at Asheville Yoga Center.

An ordained UCC pastor, Rev. Shannon Spencer is the founder and Director of Asheville Poverty Initiative (API) and also serves as a chaplain at Swannanoa Correctional Facility for Women. The API seeks to address poverty by facilitating opportunities where the voices and experiences of “the poor” are heard and valued. While we have various ways to try and meet the immediate needs of those impacted, these basic services are rarely able to influence or change the unjust systems that cause so many to go without in the first place. API offers opportunities for community building and personal encounters that will challenge stereotypes and decrease fear that stems from an “us” and “them” philosophy. API created a community cafe, 12 Baskets that uses 100% rescued already prepared food from local agencies. This Cafe serves as a container for conversations – a place everyone can come and eat free of charge and be reminded of their worth and purpose in this world!
Enjoy this one-hour Living Well shares about her inspiration for addressing hunger and creating a more just and compassionate society, one relationship at a time!
