Because of the manner in which the pandemic response has been criminally mismanaged by our federal \u201cgovernment,\u201d and because of the contingent that digs in its heels and refuses to do what\u2019s needed to help beat this thing back (hint: social distancing, masks, contact tracing \u2026 in other words, what civilized countries around the globe are doing), as of this writing, proper live concerts remain off the table.<\/p>\n

But those shaky phone-cam streams from living rooms are (thankfully) beginning to be replaced by high production value performances, taking place in actual (if empty) venues. Hey, it\u2019s a start. Here are four upcoming live stream concerts by Asheville-based artists. Support them if you can.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist: Travers Brothership<\/a>
\nVirtual Venue: Downtown After 5<\/a>
\nDate: Friday, July 16, 5:30 p.m.
\nTip jars: Venmo<\/a> | Paypal<\/a>
\nThis hard-working rock band has toured the world; these days they\u2019re home just like the rest of us. A consistent favorite in local best-of polls, Travers Brothership released Let the World Decide at the end of 2018. I spoke with them<\/a> about it last year, just ahead of that 40-date tour of Europe.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist: Free Planet Radio<\/a>
\nVirtual Venue: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate: Saturday, July 18, 7 p.m.
\nThis accomplished trio is astoundingly skilled at mastering whatever challenge it takes on. In the past, that has meant daunting, polyrhythmic world music, ambient excursions and more. On their most recent release, Free Planet Radio took things in a more straight-ahead jazz direction. I\u2019ve interviewed the group several times over the past decade; my most recent conversation<\/a> focused on the modern jazz sounds of Pursuit<\/i>, released late last year.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist: Up Jumped Three<\/a>
\nVirtual Venue: Kenilworth Lake<\/a>
\nDate: Sunday, July 19, 5 p.m.
\nThis drummerless jazz trio makes tasty instrumental music. The band \u2013 which has been together for five years \u2013 released its self-titled debut in April. Around that time I spoke with bassist Bryan White<\/a> about the implied rhythm that\u2019s at the heart of the Up Jumped Three sound.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist: Jeff Santiago & Los Gatos<\/a>
\nVirtual Venue: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate: Saturday, July 25, 7 p.m.
\nJeff Santiago stays busy with several musical projects, but his primary one is leading Los Gatos, a five-piece group built around his songwriting. The former Broomstars guitarist writes passionate, heartfelt music, and the band backs that up with a musical force to match it. I interviewed Santiago in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
