There\u2019s some fantastic live music coming to Asheville in the next 30 days. No foolin\u2019: sophisticated modern minimalism, a sax-and-drums trio that\u2019s equal parts out-there and accessible, a blues (and more) hero for the 21st<\/sup> century, and some of the most compelling and powerful instro-prog you\u2019ll ever experience. Roll your pennies and go to the shows!<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Philip Glass Ensemble
\nVenue<\/b>: {Re]HAPPENING 2022
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, April 2, 5 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $28 advance \/ $35 day of show
\nIt\u2019s been suggested that what Brian Eno and Philip Glass do isn\u2019t radically different; what is clear is that those two artists came from a very different places. Eno\u2019s foundation was in art rock via Roxy Music; Glass comes from the modern classical world. The {Re}HAPPENING is an annual event (save for the pandemic era) that\u2019s as close as Western North Carolina comes to Big Ears. Fascinating, once-in-a-lifetime stuff, this.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Moon Hooch
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, April 6, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15 advance \/ $18 day of show
\nI first discovered this group nearly a decade ago. \u201cTwo saxophones and a drummer\u201d might suggest jazz. But jazz this is not. It\u2019s modern music. I stand by my words of a review published in 2013<\/a>: \u201cBecause plenty of bands would shudder at the prospect of following Moon Hooch onto the stage. If you\u2019re ever presented with the opportunity to see this tough-to-label trio, don\u2019t miss them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Samantha Fish
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, April 17, 6:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25 advance \/ $30 day of show
\nSamantha Fish established herself as a blues guitarist par excellence. But the blues is too small of a vehicle to express her ample creativity: she\u2019s moved in any number of other directions, and done so with authenticity. Fish is no dilettante. I\u2019ve interviewed her twice so far: once in 2017<\/a> and again in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Stick Men
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, April 23, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30
\nTake a rhythm section from King Crimson (Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin) and add an innovative musician with an extensive repertoire on the touch guitar (Markus Reuter). Now give Levin and Reuter Chapman Sticks. It\u2019s gonna get heavy, complicated and thrilling. I first witnessed Stick Men in action when they toured in 2011 as part of an aggregation that would come to be known as The Crimson ProjeKct. Dizzyingly accomplished stuff, it simply must be seen and heard to be believed. I spoke with Mastelotto a second time in 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n
