Musical Entertainment

We’re delighted and so grateful to have Krekel and Whoa performing instrumental old-time tunes for you as you browse the auction items and enjoy light refreshments and dessert! Jason Krekel and Ami Worthen of Krekel and Whoa are longtime Asheville residents, musicians, and lovers of the UNCA urban forest.

Krekel and Whoa is a roots-y duo that weaves together original songs, vintage fiddle tunes, and esoteric rock-n-roll.

Musical conspirators since 2004, they have traveled the continent and beyond sharing their infectious tunes. One moment they’ll touch your heart, and the next they’ll get you dancing. Every performance is full of heart, harmonies, and happiness.
