<\/p>\nOhhh…kayyyy\u2026 Here we go again. There are some great live music shows scheduled over the next 30 days in and around Asheville. But scheduled<\/i> isn\u2019t the same thing as \u201cguaranteed to happen.\u201d Your unvaccinated friends and neighbors may put the kibosh on things. Check with the venue as close as possible to show times. And if you go, bring that damn mask. Unlike some other things, it won\u2019t kill ya.<\/p>\n

\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, August 18, 6 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nYou may remember Jason and the Scorchers, quite possibly the best \u201ccowpunk\u201d band from an era when there were several contenders to that title. Leader and guitarist Ringenberg went on to other styles and pursuits \u2013 including making music for kids \u2013 but the quality of his material has never faltered.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/30do_magic_city_hippies.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Magic City Hippies<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, August 21, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20
\nLaid-back vibe? Urbane style? Check. Stellar musicianship? Check. Catchy tunes that offer something interesting while appealing to listeners who actually like the current trends in pop music? Check. Check out Miami-based Magic City Hippies and see and hear for yourself. Cool Company opens.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/30do_bill_frisell.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Bill Frisell: Harmony<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Isis Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, Sept. 2, 8:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30 advance \/ $35 day of show
\nFrisell is acclaimed far and wide for his guitar prowess. I will admit that his charms have so far largely eluded me; while I\u2019m impressed with his technique, I find what I\u2019ve heard a bit too subtle and understated for my tastes. I\u2019m not expecting Steve Vai, here, y\u2019understand, but I do like a bit of fire and passion. That said, the incomparable Petra Haden is part of this lineup, and that fact alone is enough to make it a worthwhile outing.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/30do_los_lobos.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Steve Earle & the Dukes<\/a> \/ Los Lobos<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sept. 3, 6:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $35 advance \/ $40 day of show
\nAlt-country \u2013 or alt-anything, for that matter \u2013 is a shopworn term, but it still holds some use as a way to communicate that a given artist has twang coupled with a level of commitment and authenticity that keeps them off Today\u2019s Modern Country™ stations. That\u2019s Steve Earle in spades. And this double bill features a group that \u2013 in a perfect world \u2013 would be the ones known as America’s Band: Los Lobos.<\/p>\n
