The globe observed (certainly it didn\u2019t celebrate<\/i>) the one-year anniversary of the pandemic last week. While people continue to get sick and die from the infernal virus, the news does in fact get better with each passing day. And live music continues its slow, tentative return. If you\u2019ve had your shot and are willing to abide by the completely reasonable rules, you can start attending live music events. And I\u2019m here to tell you about four of them happening in the Asheville area within the next 30 days. Two of these acts are locally-based; two are (believe it or not) touring.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d append this with the phrase \u201cSee you at the show,\u201d but I\u2019m waiting until I \u2013 and a bigger bunch of you \u2013 are fully vaccinated. Until then\u2026<\/p>\n

\nIf one goes back to its roots, rock\u2019n\u2019roll \u2013 the mongrel child of other musical forms \u2013 is wild and wooly. That\u2019s too often forgotten. But Pleasure Chest is here to \u2013among other goals \u2013 remind us of that. Theirs is the real stuff. Guitarist Erich Hubner has a rich pedigree: he was once known as Trace Reading, one of the anonymous members of Man \u2026 Or Astro Man?<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Brother Smith<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a> (patio)
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, April 2, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $12
\nThose who\u2019ve traveled across the US via plane will likely know that Cincinnati is effectively part of the South. Heck, its airport is in Kentucky. So it\u2019s not altogether surprising to discover a band with Americana flavors coming out of the region. Brother Smith is difficult to pin down stylistically; their music has hints of gospel, bluegrass and soul; in that odd mix they remind me a bit of Little Feat. Tasty, melodic tune are their stock in trade.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Empire Strikes Brass<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, April 11, 6 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20 advance \/ $25 day of show
\nThis big ban brings the spirit and energy of second line jazz to the stage, along with a healthy helping of funk. ESB is a collective comprised of some of the region\u2019s best players. They have fun doing what they do; and that vibe is high contagious (hey, in a good way!)<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: 49 Winchester<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: 185 King St.<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, April 15, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $12
\nNot wholly disconnected stylewise with fellow Appalachian musicians Brother Smith (see above), Virginia-based 49 Winchester sports a lived-in country vibe that evokes memories of some of the Allman Brothers\u2019 music (the less adventurous stuff, to be sure). It\u2019s not difficult to imagine the group transported via time machine to the early \u201870s where the could share a bill opening for The Band. Twangy to be sure, but soulful as well.<\/p>\n
