The Afterwhile Trio Variety Band from Asheville, NC

Like sages of old, calling down their muse from the mountains, The Afterwhile derive their spirit and creativity from an eclectic blend of folk, blues, and Americana. Compared to the likes of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Amos Lee, and Ray Lamontagne this trio bleeds soul. Whether they are performing songs from their mentors, or their own original compositions, The Afterwhile leave the listener with a deep sense of satisfaction for the power of simple yet provocative music. Both accomplished and experienced musicians in their own respect, The Afterwhile come from slightly different backgrounds that have culminated their brand of music. Alex Ceserani played music from a young age and later went on to study classical guitar and earn a degree in it. His mastery of both guitar and bass along with his extensive knowledge of music theory has garnered him a reputation for being one of the best in his fields. His timing and feel are impeccable. He is an old soul in a young man's body. Anthony (guitar/lead vocals/harmonica) and Chris Cuchetti (drums/vocals) are two of ten siblings who grew up in a traveling musical family act with their parents and siblings. They knew only this life from a very young age until the family act dissolved and they started blazing their own path in music and song writing. Both equally blessed with soulful voices and rhythmic nature their performances have left folks saying, “ I could listen to this band all night long “. The Afterwhile's three part harmonies coupled with the groups versatile instrumentation make for an old time sound with a modern twist!
