Artist<\/b>: Jimbo Mathus<\/a>\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a> (patio)
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Oct. 8, 6 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nIf you only know Jimbo Mathus from his role as leader of Squirrel Nut Zippers, you\u2019re in for a treat. Jimbo\u2019s work extends in many directions beyond that, and they\u2019re fascinating, every one of \u2018em. Nominally an Americana artist, in truth he\u2019s a musical polymath whose pursuits are varied and worthy of deep investigation. He\u2019s a noted producer and session player as well. I first saw him onstage some years back at the Americana Fest in Nashville. He\u2019s scheduled for induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in November. You can learn more about him here<\/a>, but your best bet is to listen.<\/p>\n
Americana that\u2019s more than twang. Classic camp. A blues legend. Retro-pop. Those are four of the highlights on the Asheville music calendar these coming 30 days.

\nBuddy Guy needs no introduction. Heck, when he played on a session using the alias “Friendly Chap\u201d to fly under the radar (he was contracted to a rival label), even then he needed no introduction. The blues master is one of very few from electric blues\u2019 classic era who\u2019s still treading the board (he\u2019s in his 80s). Buddy\u2019s work is some of the rocking-est blues around; he\u2019s one of few who can play with a rock sensibility and yet remain true to the spirit of the blues. Go see him; he\u2019s the real deal<\/a>. Young blues guitar star Ally Venable opens the show.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/30do_tennis.jpg\")

\nThis wife-and-husband duo reminds me of Captain & Tennille, and that\u2019s meant as a compliment. If you\u2019re at all like me, you\u2019ll hear hints of Brill building pop and \u201870s \u201cAM gold\u201d in their original material. I interviewed them back in 2018<\/a>. Molly Burch opens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
