Chatt Hills Music is launching the 2026 season of its Riverside Concert Series in Asheville’s Olivette neighborhood, with outdoor concerts along the French Broad River running Sunday afternoons from April through October.

Now in its sixth season at the Olivette Riverside Pavilion, the series features nationally touring artists in an intimate riverside setting just minutes from downtown. Concerts start at 4 PM on Sundays — designed for a relaxed afternoon of live music with time to still make it home for Sunday supper.

The 2026 lineup features an eclectic mix of award-winning artists from across the country, spanning genres including singer-songwriter, country, Americana, folk, rock, blues, bluegrass, Celtic, jazz, and soul.

The season kicks off Sunday, April 19 with Nashville-based husband-and-wife duo Goldpine, known for their bold, harmony-driven Americana. Additional artists appearing throughout the season include Ordinary Elephant, Anna La Mare, Caleb Caudle and the Sweet Critters, Pat Byrne with 5J Barrow, Blair Crimmins and the Hookers, Heather Maloney, House of Hamill, Whitney Mongé Band, New Dawn Starkestra, Christie Lenée, and Garrison Starr.

Tickets are $30 all-inclusive and kids are free. Guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets or camping chairs and their favorite beverages to enjoy during the show.
