Touring is back in full swing. Looking at the concert calendar, save for an occasional canceled date, you\u2019d never know that a pandemic had been raging for two-plus years. Four touring outfits \u2013 two veteran acts, two comparatively new ones \u2013 are the spotlight shows in Asheville over the next 30 days.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Black Midi<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sep. 9, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25
\nPerhaps the most difficult-to-classify band in recent memory, Black Midi combines prog, lounge, free jazz, electronica and who-knows-what-else into a heady mix. Imagine an aggressive, amped-up Radiohead and you\u2019ll have a slight sense of what this UK-based outfit can do. Fascinating, often difficult, and unfailingly creative.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The King Khan & BBQ Show<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sep. 16, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $17
\nKing Khan is best-known for his large garage-soul band The Shrines, but his longtime musical associate Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) and he have been working together for many years as well. They perform as a duo, and the pared-down garage aesthetic is a durable one. To wit: I interviewed them fourteen years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Steel Pulse<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, Sep. 20, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30 advance \/ $35 day of show
\nThe real deal. Steel Pulse began in 1975, and though they\u2019re from from Birmingham, England (not Kingston, Jamaica) this group has carried the banner of authentic reggae for nearly a half century. The music features intellgent lyrics with an undercurrent of both humor and a social conscience. Though nearly 30 players have come and gone form the band\u2019s ranks, David Hinds and Selwyn Brown have appeared on every one of the group\u2019s albums, and keyboardist Sidney Mills has been on board nearly 35 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Sylvia Rose Novak<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Isis Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sep. 30, 8:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nThere\u2019s been a trend for sometime now: rock artists crossing over to Americana. While some certainly make the move with creative\/artistic motives, there\u2019s a whiff of bandwagon-jumping about the whole thing. But here\u2019s an example of the opposite: Athens-based Novak started labeled as Americana, and has made the move \u2013 and a convincing one at that \u2013 to all-out rock and roll. If her new album A Miss\/ A Masterpiece<\/i> is your introduction to this compelling artist, you\u2019d never suspect her past. Great stuff.<\/p>\n
