\nThe raging pandemic has meant that not only are live music shows few and far between, but when they do happen, they\u2019re generally seated affairs. That\u2019s in line with social distancing protocols. But Salvage Station has an outdoor stage on a large plot of land, so socially-distanced dance music can now be a thing. Fronted by dynamic vocalist Kanika Moore, this Charleston-based group brings high energy performance and a wide sonic palette \u2013 groove, chillwave, funky dance vibes \u2013 to the stage. And while there are no recordings yet, apparently they\u2019re working on a comic book. The band is in town for a two-night engagement.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/30do_unspoken_tradition.jpg\")

\nCarrying the bluegrass idiom forward into the current day is the mission of Asheville-based quintet Unspoken tradition. Rooted in tradition yet pushing the genre\u2019s boundaries both musically and lyrically, the group has released three albums to date. I interviewed mandolin player Ty Gilpin in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/30do_john_doyle.jpg\")

\nAcclaimed Grammy nominee John Doyle is a respected figure in the world of Irish music, but he makes his home in Western North Carolina. In normal circumstances he\u2019d be out on the road this show represents a fairly rare opportunity for hometown fans to see and hear him onstage.

\nSome fans might have thought that Drive By Truckers isn\u2019t big enough for more than one songwriter. That would help explain why Jason Isbell left Paterson Hood\u2019s band in 2007. But the group is bursting with talent: Jay Gonzales is a superb power pop songwriter. Multi-instrumentalist and producer David Barbe (formerly of Mercyland and Sugar) is a major creative force. And DBT founding member Mike Cooley has a successful career as a solo artists as well. His songs form a key part of DBT albums, and he released a solo live album, The Fool on Every Corner<\/i>, in 2013. Cooley is playing an early and late show on the 17th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
