September 15, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Join us for an unforgettable evening of live music at the Meadowlark Speakeasy, as the Asheville Junction Duo takes the stage!
Mother-daughter duo, Maria and Tierra Raiti, will mesmerize you with their harmonious blend of bluegrass melodies and soulful vocals.
Maria Raiti: Rhythm guitar, harmony and occasional lead vocals
When Maria and her daughter Tierra lived up north, Tierra was taking classical violin lessons, but kept expressing passionate interest in bluegrass fiddle. So Maria picked up a guitar and mother and daughter discovered joy and bonding in playing music together at local jams, and eventually bluegrass bands. Maria always joked with friends and family that one day she would move and take her talented daughter to Nashville. Then in August of 2021 Maria and Tierra actually made the move, no joke. Except instead of Nashville, they stopped and got off at The Asheville Junction!
Tierra Raiti: Fiddle and Lead Singer
Tierra Raiti, lead and harmony singer and fiery fiddler for the band, has been noticed as a formidable rising musician and invited to appear on the Woodsongs International Radio Show in 2022. Tierra is a featured singer and player on Galax to Toledo Tracks. Recordings from this album have been played in roots and Americana radio shows around the world. Tierra is a phenomenally accomplished and versatile singer and fiddler, having won numerous fiddle contests and violin competitions, as well as singing competitions and scholarships ranging from jazz to classical to country.
