ASHEVILLE — Both the Asheville Music Hall, a midsize music venue in downtown Asheville, and the lower-floor One Stop, have sold.

Paul Casey and Brian Good have purchased the popular music spot. Mojo Kitchen & Lounge, located in the One Stop, will continue to operate as usual.

Good, a trained chef and founder of Asheville Sandwich Company, is also a business broker specializing in the food and beverage industry. Casey purchased French Broad Brewing in 2017.

They say they won't fix what's not broken.

"We enjoy going there and love the staff and when we saw the opportunity arise, we thought it would be great to be part of the thriving Asheville music scene," Good said. "I see a cultural change in Asheville, heading more toward music, art and entertainment —though we'll always be Beer City."

Speaking of beer, the taps at Asheville Music Hall will not exclusively showcase his partner's brewery, Good noted.

The partners will make only small capital improvements behind the scenes, he added, but otherwise plan no immediate changes.

"What makes this club special are the events that everyone knows, like Tuesday Night Funk Jam, Free Dead Fridays, comedy night, and all the great bands and DJs," he said.

Also: look forward to Bluegrass Brunch on the weekend and seeing plenty of familiar faces. Good said the staff will all stay on board.

Events going on as planned

Asheville Music Hall marketing director Sara Blandin, who has worked for the venue for more than three years, said the staff has positive feelings toward the new owners.

"They're coming in to add on to what we're already doing," she said. "There will be exciting new stuff, but right now they're just this awesome new bright light."

Asheville Music Hall and The One Stop's General Manager, Micah Wheat issued his own statement.

"It has been an absolute honor from day one working at this venue — from the beginning with (former owner) KP and her crew years ago, to our culminated team success now," said Wheat. "We have one of the best unified teams here that have created original programming and brought some of the best talent in the country to Asheville. This town really has one of the best local scenes in any major music market."

Wheat will also stay on board to assist the team as they "continue to elevate the game here," he said.

Asheville Music Hall, which opened in 2011, has a capacity of 350. The One Stop has a capacity of 200. All upcoming shows and events will continue as planned in both venues. More at www.ashevillemusichall.com.
