Beer and Loathing

In a sea of carbon copy artists, Beer & Loathing takes you out of the ordinary and transpose you to new musical heights. From the mountains of Western North Carolina, this acoustic duo composed of singer/songwriter Johnny Blackwell and Cole Laughter blends rock’ n ‘roll, funk, and hippie honky-tonk with perfection. This band will keep you on your toes and ready for more. 

Longtime friends, collaborators, and multidimensional artists, Johnny Blackwell and Cole Laughter, formed Beer & Loathing in 2017.  However, the duo have been playing together for over 10 years. Together the two have married multiple styles of music to create a show that is sure to please any crowd. 

The band is currently hard at work cultivating their first album which will be released later this Fall. In the meantime, the band can be seen performing live around Hendersonville and Asheville or at private events. Want to book one of the best bands near you for your next event? Contact us today!
