I\u2019ve interviewed three of the four acts spotlighted in this roundup of live music. But I\u2019d recommend them all regardless.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Cheeksters<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, Sep. 17, 6 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $12
\nThis Asheville-based band is always a delight. Their albums are filled with original songs sporting \u2018Small Faces meets David Bowie\u2019 tunefulness, with a dash of Dusty Springfield. The group rarely plays in public, though, and the pandemic certainly didn\u2019t help on that score. So this outdoor gig at the Grey Eagle\u2019s patio is not to be missed. Word has it that they\u2019ve cooked up some new (as in, never heard live) material as well. Lots of features and interviews on the band here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Explorers Club<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Outpost<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sep. 30, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nI\u2019ve been following this group for more than a decade; in fact I\u2019ve seen them on every one of their visits to Asheville. Thing is, that makes two or three in 12 years. They nail the AM Gold sound stunningly well, both on note-perfect readings of classic and on their own every-bit-as-delightful original material. Watch for news very soon on an interview with leader Jason Brewer, in glorious stereo! Chelsea Lovitt opens. Multiple interviews and features at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: GA-20<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, Oct. 12, 9:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25 advance \/ $30 day of show
\nI recently reviewed the latest album from this superb blues outfit for Living Blues<\/i>; it\u2019s not in print yet (hint: it\u2019s great). And I interviewed Matt Stubbs, too; that one\u2019s not out yet, either. But don\u2019t wait for those; go see \u2018em. They prove that the two-guitars-and-a-drummer configuration need not be a bore. Monophonics are actually the headliners; Kendra Morris opens. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Stereolab<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, Oct. 15, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $32
\nImagine if a few of your nerdiest music friends put together a band that drew from obscure inspirations like lounge\/exotica, French y\u00e9-y\u00e9 and even krautrock. Now imagine that they wrote really good songs and were fun onstage. Now imagine that after 30 years they\u2019re still going strong (albeit without releasing records of new material). That\u2019s Stereolab. Fievel is Glauque opens.<\/p>\n
