- **Event Name**: Summer Solstice with Life Like Water, Pretty Little Goat & Nicholas Edward Williams
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: As the longest day of the year stretches into golden evening, we gather on the land to celebrate the turning of the season.


The Summer Solstice is a shining moment of fullness -- light at its peak, overflowing, music carrying us into the warm night.


This gathering leans into that spirit.  Especially because it's on the eve of David and Val's wedding happening here at the Hawk the next day!


Three acts rooted in tradition and storytelling will carry us through the evening -- from old-time and Americana to rich harmonies and front-porch soul -- all held in the barn and newly upgraded natural amphitheater of Hawk & Hawthorne.


Come early, settle in, wander the gardens, and let the music guide the night.


==>  The Artists


Pretty Little Goat
An Asheville-based string band weaving together Appalachian roots, old-time tradition, and a playful, high-spirited energy. Their sound feels both timeless and alive — music that invites dancing as much as deep listening.


Life Like Water
A quartet blending folk, Americana, and soulful harmonies. Their songs move with a kind of ease and emotional depth that feels right at home under an open sky.


Nicholas Edward Williams
A songwriter’s songwriter — intimate, grounded, and quietly powerful. Expect a set that draws you in and sets the tone for the evening.
 

==>  The Experience


This is an intentionally intimate outdoor concert on our permaculture farm.

• Music set against the backdrop of Pisgah Forest
 • Open-air listening space in a hertiage tobacco barn
 • Farm-to-table food offerings available
 • Botanical, non-alcoholic drinks
 • Space to dance, or simply lay back and take it in


We recommend bringing a bottle to fill at the spring and a blanket or low chair for to enjoy the new terrace seating.

We are excited to announce the Hawk & Ivy is now under new ownership after a heart centered and symbiotic deal was made with the previous stewards.  \n\nWe, the new owners of the Hawk and Ivy and our community of healers, food growers and artists are committed to continuing the legacy of the Hawk as a community gathering center and sliver of sanctuary in this tumultuous time of cultural renaissance.\n\nWe are not currently booking the B&B as all rooms have been filled to bring in the talent and resources necessary for the unfolding of our vision.  We practice permaculture and are in a process of unpacking, observing and arriving.  We have transitioned some of the ornamental beauty in the garden into organic heirloom food, are making improvements and clarifying the vision for our evolution of the event center.  \n\nWe are working on an online event calendar.  Please message us if you would like to know what we have scheduled for this fall and join our email list.  You'll be hearing more from us in 2018!\n\nWith Love,\n\nThe Hawk Leadership Council"
