\nOne of the things that impressed me about Asheville upon moving here more than 21 years ago was the eclectic nature of the local music scene. Sure, there was (and is) a surfeit of twang, banjos and fiddles and earnest singer-songwriters. But there\u2019s most everything else, too. And some of the city\u2019s best players have put together a ska<\/i> band. What could be more fun? Not much, I\u2019m here to tell you.<\/p>\n
Happy New Year! And today also marks another, more personal celebration: This is the seven-year anniversary of \u201c30 Days Out.\u201d Through the years, its mission has never changed: twice a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,26,44,51,62,68],"tags":[4076,237,4735,3965,948,1091,4734,1625,4733,4423],"class_list":["post-22180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americana","category-electronica","category-live-shows","category-pop","category-rawk","category-ska","tag-30-days-out","tag-asheville","tag-caravan-palace","tag-fleetwoods","tag-grey-eagle","tag-james-mcmurtry","tag-nordista-freeze","tag-orange-peel","tag-ska-city","tag-white-horse-black-mountain","cat-6-id","cat-26-id","cat-44-id","cat-51-id","cat-62-id","cat-68-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22180"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22186,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22180\/revisions\/22186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/30do_nordista_freeze.jpg\")

\nSuper catchy psych-pop from Nashville is the order of the day for Nordista Freeze. This music deserves a wider hearing; it\u2019s clever and accessible while remaining interesting for more nuanced listeners. Also on the bill: Fortezza and Monsoon, each of which sounds totally like the other. A wonderfully eclectic bill at one of Asheville\u2019s most uniue and hip (in as good way!) venues.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/30do_james_mcmurtry.jpg\")

\nMcMurtry is an institution. Sophisticated, wryly observant songwriting and straightforward delivery. If you haven\u2019t seen him, you simply must. Betty Soo (formerly of Charlie Faye & the Fayettes<\/a>) opens.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/30do_caravan_palace.jpg\")

\nFrom France comes this electronic act, sounding remarkably unlike Air or Daft Punk. \u201cLone Digger\u201d draws from the jazz-age, while sounding a bit like vintage cartoons crossed with Spice Girls. Weird yet wonderful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
