Coverfest V: A Benefit for Asheville Middle School will take over the Grey Eagle on Sunday, January 18, 2026, from 5:00–11:00 PM, bringing together top local and regional musicians for an unforgettable evening of cover songs—all for a great cause. Over the past several years, Coverfest has become a beloved fixture in Asheville’s music scene, raising thousands of dollars to ensure every Asheville Middle School 8th grader can participate in their annual capstone trip. The event is as much about community as it is about music, creating a space where families, students, and music fans can celebrate collaboration, creativity, and giving back. The Grey Eagle, a longstanding champion of local arts and community initiatives, has been instrumental in making Coverfest V possible. Known for supporting charitable events, youth programs, and live music, the venue provides a stage where both up-and-coming and established artists can shine while helping meaningful causes. This year, 10 incredible local and regional artists (and one student band) will take the stage for 30-minute mini-sets of your favorite cover songs, guaranteeing a night full of energy, nostalgia, and musical surprises.

This community’s support ensures that promise becomes a reality.” Tickets for Coverfest V are available online through The Grey Eagle’s website and at the door on the night of the event. All proceeds go directly to funding Asheville Middle School’s 8th grade capstone trip, helping ensure every student can participate regardless of financial need. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/asheville/coverfest-v-benefit-concert-for-asheville-middle-school-at-the-grey-eagle/200028998495043 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, nonprofit, concerts, live-music, performances, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 61 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Asheville - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: The Grey Eagle - **lat**: 35.587062310337 - **long**: -82.56436070489 - **full address**: The Grey Eagle, Grey Eagle Music Hall, 185 Clingman Ave, Asheville, NC 28801, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: COVERFEST V: Benefit Concert for Asheville Middle School at The Grey Eagle - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c25b0f25a5b5dd5309e79d4c4990600dbf50bfb4361f9486ac4f6fc556586400-rimg-w1200-h720-dc022cd9-gmir?v=1768235902 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is COVERFEST V: Benefit Concert for Asheville Middle School at The Grey Eagle being held? - **A:** COVERFEST V: Benefit Concert for Asheville Middle School at The Grey Eagle takes place on Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm at The Grey Eagle, Grey Eagle Music Hall, 185 Clingman Ave, Asheville, NC 28801, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing COVERFEST V: Benefit Concert for Asheville Middle School at The Grey Eagle? - **A:** COVERFEST V: Benefit Concert for Asheville Middle School at The Grey Eagle is organized by The Grey Eagle. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
