THE CLOCK HITS ZERO. THE MUSIC DOESN'T.
Forty days. Forty nights. One final night — One Last Roach at the Elk Horn cannabis lounge on Haywood Road, December 11. A benefit for the Hollow Bone Initiative. The ask is still in motion — when it lands, you'll hear it here first. No performer names until the booking is real.
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN CULMINATES WITH ONE LAST ROACH AT THE ELK HORN CANNABIS LOUNGE.
December 11, 2026 is a proposed target date. No venue hold is signed, no artist is booked, and every name and logo shown here is a pitch illustration — not an endorsement or a confirmed appearance. This site exists so artists, venues and press can see the whole idea in one place and tell us whether they want in. Nothing here should be reported as booked.

By the final night, this town will have heard that riff four hundred times, from people it knows by name. That's how a stadium song becomes a neighborhood song.

You might know him as Kenny Holland. This is Kenny McCormick IV — same musician, his birth name, his own direction.
He came to Shope Creek the first time as a retreater. He came back as an artist, and said the sentence that named a whole docuseries episode. Now he is launching a record during the forty nights in Asheville, playing select dates across the run. Everything else on this page is a room. Kenny is what happens inside it.
Proposed — the residency, the album timing, and night forty are still being worked out.
"The first time I came to this space, I was a retreater. This time, I felt like an artist."
Kenny plays select nights across the forty — not every night, and not one slot either. Songs from the album land in different rooms, in different orders, in front of different people.
They Call Me Trinity launches inside the countdown — his debut under the name he shares with his father and the generations before him. Written beside creeks in Sedona, recorded in Los Angeles studios.
He is the emotional spine of Stay Curious, Episode One: The Deer Trail — the retreater who came back an artist. Hollow Bone funded it, Jackson Averett is cutting it, and a rough cut is targeted for October 31.
One Last Roach. The final night lands at the Elk Horn cannabis lounge. The ask is still in motion — when it lands, you'll hear it here first. Kenny is the reason the last night means anything — the whole countdown builds to it.

Narrated by stone mason and storyteller Jill Haynie. Shot in the forest at Shope Creek, the family land of Stephen and Mary Sedmak ten miles outside Asheville. Kenny McCormick IV is the emotional through line; the land is the living character; Camp Mary is the moment separate stories become a community.
It screens as the campaign's headline episode — proceeds going to The Well, the Hollow Bone Initiative's founding fund. Because sometimes the trail does not lead somewhere new. Sometimes it returns you to who you were always meant to become.
Mermans Mosengo and the Playing For Change lineage — music as the thing that moves across borders when nothing else can.
The film that asks believers a harder question than we are asking, and gets a room arguing before the credits.
Not a ticket yet — a line in the record. Names on this wall are how we show a venue, a band and a booking agent that the room is already full.
