Launched in August of 2020, Tuesday Casual Collaborations at 185 King Street has become a cornerstone of the vibrant Brevard music community. Every week Travis Book assembles a unique group of musicians for a one-time-only show, drawing on his vast network of friends and growing repertoire of musical styles. From Bluegrass to Blues, Songwriter to Americana, Country to Funk, Travis and his ever-evolving cast of local and national (even international) musicians consistently hit the sweet spot between preparation and spontaneity. “Eventually, I hope to play with everyone!” he occasionally boasts, and he’s well on his way. Travis has hosted a wide range of musicians, including: Anders Beck, Nicki Bluhm, Josh Daniel, Beppe Gambetta, Mike Guggino, Vince Herman, Sierra Hull, Cris Jacobs, Jim Lauderdale, Lindsay Lou, Steve McMurry, Mimi Naja, Tim O’Brien, Woody Platt, Jon Stickley, Kyle Tuttle, and Cristina Vane. He also regularly employs the skills of world-class local musicians like Jeff Sipe, Mike Ashworth, Tommy Maher, Bennett Sullivan, and Derick Gardner. Every week is unique, the musical styles wide-ranging, but the one thing that remains constant is the intention, positivity, and charisma that Travis brings to each and every show.
This week Travis is on tour so Ed Jurdi will be the host.
As a founding member and co- leader of the Austin, TX rock and roll outfit The Band of
Heathens, Ed Jurdi’s voice, songwriting and musicianship have been key elements in
defining the band’s kaleidoscopic American sound. From festival performances at
Bonnaroo, Austin, City Limits, Lollapalooza, Wakarusa, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to
over a thousand one nighters in clubs and theaters across the United States and Europe, Ed
Jurdi has been a fixture in the Americana world and beyond for the better part of two
decades.
Originally from the Boston area, Ed Jurdi has forged a sound both rooted in the past and
pointing toward the future. An ardent student of the masters of American music, he brings
the passion of a gospel sermon and juxtaposes it against a gathering of merry pranksters
with a soulful delivery and timeless voice. Ed has called Asheville and the mountains of
Western North Carolina home for the better part of a decade after spending eight years in
Austin, TX.
So when the stage is set, the lights go dark, and Ed and Gordy take the stage, grab your
drink, find your seat and settle in to witness the distilling of this rare musical brotherhood.
