Two highly respected local\/regional acts and two beloved touring artists: those are the highlights among many musical events taking place in and around Asheville in the coming 30 days. Each in their own way is well worth your entertainment dollar, even in these inflationary times. Support live music!<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Melissa Hyman<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Isis Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, July 14, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $12 advance \/ $15 day of show
\nMelissa Hyman is a master of many musical styles. A singer of impressive range, expression and quality, she\u2019s also highly skilled on cello(!), bass guitar and who-knows-what-else. The adorable Asheville-based musician is involved in multiple music projects, but works primarily with husband Ryan Furstenburg as The Moon and You (covered here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). But this show \u2013 part of the Asheville Sessions series \u2013 showcases Ms. Hyman\u2019s musical virtues in a solo format. The versatile Peggy Ratusz is host, master of ceremonies and opening act. (I\u2019ve interviewed Peggy multiple times as well, including here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Acoustic Syndicate<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, July 23, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25 advance, $30 day of show
\nThe beloved Western NC group is justly admired for their eclectic musical approach, one that admittedly employs bluegrass-centric instrumentation, but draws from all manner of music styles. The group\u2019s latest\/upcoming release is All in Time<\/i>, and it features a clutch of originals alongside inventive reading of stuff like The Velvet Underground\u2019s \u201cRock and roll.\u201d No, really. I\u2019ve interviewed the group twice; the latest one\u2019s not online yet, but here\u2019s the first one<\/a>. The Salvage Station gig is an album release celebration.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: 10,000 Maniacs<\/del><\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/del><\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, July 27, 8 p.m.<\/del>
\nDoor<\/b>: $35<\/del>
\nLATE-BREAKING UPDATE: Tour is canceled for health reasons.<\/strong><\/span> Let\u2019s get this out of the way right up front: Natalie Merchant left the acclaimed art-pop-folk-indie group in 1993; anyone watching the band\u2019s MTV Unplugged<\/i> episode could easily tell she was being groomed for solo stardom. For my ears, though, her successor Mary Ramsey (who joined some 28 years ago and \u2013 save a short hiatus in the \u201800s \u2013 has fronted the group ever since) is a better, even more expressive vocalist. And the rest of the band has had a stable lineup for ages. Ramsey is a primary songwriter for the group as well. While their post-Merchant material has flown under the commercial radar, it\u2019s quite good, and the band is an appealing live act, as you can discover by (a) listening to their 2016 live album, reviewed here<\/a> and\/or (b) going to this show. I\u2019d recommend both.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Adrian Belew<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, July 29, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $29 SRO \/ $39 seated
\nIf all Adrian Belew had done was play guitar in David Bowie\u2019s band, he\u2019s be worthy of your attention. Same goes for his time with Talking Heads, and it holds true for his work with Frank Zappa, Nine Inch Nails, The Bears and King Crimson, four acts that \u2013 notably \u2013 are not at all<\/i> like each other. And Belew has a formidable body of work under his own name. A guitarist of stunning technical brilliance, his work is every bit as equal powerful for its emotional resonance. In other words: don\u2019t miss this show. I\u2019ve interviewed him on a number of occasions, including here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
