Chicago-based busker “37” performed an early-ish set in front of Malaprop’s earlier this week. She doesn’t have a website, so this may just be your only chance to hear her original tune “Gnarley N’awlins.”

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

for the love of god, please stop.
I tried to listen to the whole 1:55 seconds, but gave up at 1:00. I truly hope she has another source of income.
C’mon people, you’re being way too hard on her. This is what every singer-songwriter who moves to Asheville sounds like before she suckers every local picker into joining her band and going on tour playing every coffee house from here to Spokane for peanuts. Mark my words.
Steve S. is the Alan Lomax of the digital age and will someday receive a posthumous ethnomusicology degree from AB Tech.
