After an extended hiatus, one of Western North Carolina’s most popular rock acts, Porch 40, will host a special performance at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Lazy Hiker Brewing outpost in downtown Sylva. 

When you place the Jackson County ensemble’s melodies against the likes of Elvis Costello, Dave Matthews Band and Maroon 5, you can precisely see and hear the similar sonic blueprints Porch 40 is working with.

“We’ve always strived to be a mixed bag stylistically and we’ve been getting more comfortable pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone,” Porch 40 bassist Carter McDevitt told The Smoky Mountain News in 2019. “We’ve never been afraid to try new genres, new sounds and new song structures. We love what we do and we’re not tired of experimenting with it.”

Admission is $10 at the door. Special guest Positive Mental Attitude (rock/reggae) will open the show. For more information, call 828.349.2337 or go to lazyhikerbrewing.com.

There seems to be more interest lately in non-alcoholic (NA) beverages.  These run the gamut from mixed drinks without alcohol (aka “mocktails”) to beer and wine that can be classified as NA when they have less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume).
