Anya Hinkle & Billy Cardine Live

Asheville, NC-based roots artists Anya Hinkle (vocals, guitar) and Billy Cardine (Dobro) team up for an intimate exploration of acoustic music rooted in the sounds of Appalachia and seasoned by their travels around the globe. Following international tours in Japan, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and throughout the US and Hawai’i over the past year, they were recipients of the prestigious USArtist International grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to bring their surprisingly dynamic range of styles and influences to France in 2025.
Originally from the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, Anya Hinkle’s music is steeped in the tones of folk and mountain music, featuring award-winning songwriting, vibrant musicianship, and striking honesty. About Oceania, Americana Highways writes, “This North Carolina singer-songwriter has an engagingly smooth-toned classic vocal… She’s the real deal – melodic with rich traditional instincts… one of the year’s best.”
Billy Cardine is recognized as a pioneer of slide guitar, taking the Dobro into uncharted genres. Billy’s unique voice on all things slide has led him to collaborate with Led Zeppelin’s own John Paul Jones, world-renowned Edgar Meyer in his Porous Borders of Music, and dobro king Jerry Douglas, who stated, “Billy Cardine is an amazing Dobro player. He is fluent in everything that I do, and Josh Graves, and everybody that has come before. I couldn’t have picked a better example for them of where the Dobro is now or what the possibilities are with the instrument.”
