Live music in downtown Ashland on a mid-November Saturday: Nick Garrett-Powell plays the Barrel Room, one acoustic guitar looped live into a whole band.
Nick Garrett-Powell is a one-man band from Grants Pass who builds every song live, in layers, off a single acoustic guitar: rhythm, bass, leads and percussion, looped in front of you. Classically trained, Nick has toured internationally with The Fret Drifters and opened for Tommy Emmanuel, Eric Johnson, Pat Benatar and Rick Springfield. The repertoire runs pop, blues, gypsy jazz, reggae and jazz standards, so the set list is whatever the room earns.
It's in the Barrel Room at Resistance Wine Co., 322 N Pioneer St in downtown Ashland. There's no cover. Walk in, or reserve a spot to be sure of a seat. Kids are welcome until 9 PM; 21+ to drink. We pour Syrah, Malbec and Cab by the glass, the flight or the bottle. The Allium's wood-fired pizza runs until 8 on Saturdays. Pull up a stool near the front if you want to see how it's done.

Whatever you can spill Syrah on without crying. Although, Lin usually has a Tide Stick in their bag for emergencies. Somm things.
Yes. The Allium Wood-Fired Pizza feeds our event nights: charcuterie, empanadas, wood-fired pies, pastas, salads, potato-chip pairings and chocolates. The Allium's wood-fired pizza truck keeps its own hours, usually 11 AM–8 PM; Friday Night Pizza Night runs 5–8 PM. The Allium is a separate business and sometimes caters offsite events, so check with them before coming just for pizza. Plan on coming hungry.
