Hannah Kaminer

In celebration of the dark turn of the seasons, Halloween, and the Day of the Dead, Asheville-based musicians The Moon & You and Hannah Kaminer, alongside drummer Ross Montsinger, have put together a special night of live music. Dark Turn of Mind: A Haunted Americana Tour features haunting, ghostly, foreboding, and in some cases humorous songs and ballads that are part of the dark lifeblood of the folk, country, and Americana traditions.
