Event<\/b>: Mountain Skies Electronic Music Festival<\/a>\nVenue<\/b>: White Horse Black Mountain<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Fri.-Sun, May 6-8
\nDoor<\/b>: $25
\nOkay, so there isn\u2019t a great deal of advance information available about this event. But I strongly suspect the participants will include key figures previously involved in the Asheville Electro Music Festival<\/a>. After all, our area is home to both Moog Music and MakeNoise \u2013 quality synth makers both \u2013 and the pool of talent is quite deep. Expect the unusual.<\/p>\n

Artist<\/b>: Parthenon Huxley<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, May 24, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nHuxley has a fascinating pedigree. His wonderful \u201cBazooka Joe\u201d was featured on the powerpop collection Yellow Pills.<\/i> And he more or less takes the Jeff Lynne role in the ELO alumni\/offshoot band The Orchestra. On top of that, he has released more than ten albums under his own (stage) name. Backed by His Ridiculous Band, this will be his first-ever Asheville date.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/30do_belleseb.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Belle & Sebastian<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Rabbit Rabbit<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, May 24, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $40
\nMelodic Scottish band Belle & Sebastian have been making their particular brand of catchy jangle-pop for nearly three decades. Their sound hasn\u2019t experienced radical changes, nor has their lineup fluctuated much. A perennial critical favorite, they\u2019re touring now in support of A Bit of Previous<\/i>, out May 6. This show at Asheville\u2019s lovely outdoor downtown venue should be a big draw.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/30do_littlefeat.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Little Feat<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Harrah\u2019s Cherokee<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, May 26, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $47+
\nLittle Feat is one of those celebrated bands whose style transcends genre. Like NRBQ \u2013 who they don\u2019t sound like, by the way \u2013 they\u2019re uniquely American. Their music has been classified as everything from country rock to jazz fusion. Ultimately, you decide. The band was launched in 1969 by Lowell George after he was kicked out of Frank Zappa\u2019s band. (Little Feat doesn\u2019t sound like the Mothers, either.) You may well ask \u2013 since George broke the band up in 1979 and then died shortly thereafter \u2013 who exactly is in the band? Are they like The Guess Who, who have only the drummer from the original lineup? Alas, no: three core members remain: keyboardist\/vocalist Bill Payne and drummers Sam Clayton and Kenny Gradney. Go see \u2018em as they celebrate the 40th<\/sup> anniversary of Waiting for Columbus<\/i>.<\/p>\n
