Description

Deep River is a vocal group fronted by three female vocalists (Founder and Co-Owner Sharon Lewis who also plays bass guitar, Co-Owner and primary lead singer Sandy Howard and soprano vocalist Nita Smith) backed by some of the Asheville Area’s finest musicians including lead guitarist Alec Fehl and drummer Justin Watt, both of whom teach at the Asheville Music School, and acoustic guitarist Peter Millis.

During our 34-year career Deep River has sung with country music superstar/part-time Eagle Vince Gill, and opened for Grand Ole Opry star and 2-time Grammy winner Kathy Mattea, Grand Ole Opry star Mark Wills, Country Music Hall Of Fame member Charlie Louvin of The Louvin Brothers and Grand Ole Opry member Wilma Lee Cooper.

Since 2007 Deep River has performed at numerous venues around Asheville and WNC including White Horse Black Mountain, Highland Brewing, 185 King Street, The Grey Eagle, The Grove Park Inn and outdoor Summer Concert Series at Biltmore Lake, Banner Elk, Lake Toxaway and Pinebrook Farms to name a few.
