The next 30 days include Thanksgiving, a time when \u2013 perhaps now more than ever \u2013 we gather with loved ones. But after the long weekend, we\u2019ll all be looking to the future, and more live music. The post-holiday menu includes lots of goodies, from inspired reinvention of classic pop to edgy, indie-rock from the Tarheel state to blues from an Eastern European guitar powerhouse (in stiletto heels) to a band with a silly name that nonetheless makes good music. Check \u2018em all out.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Postmodern Jukebox<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, Dec. 3, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $40
\nThe description I wrote five and a half years ago when I first interviewed band leader Scott Bradle<\/a>e remains true today: \u201cIt\u2019s one of those inspired ideas that leads listeners to wonder why someone hadn\u2019t thought of it before: take modern-day hit songs, and recast them in the styles of yesteryear.” That\u2019s the winning approach of the fiendishly creative \u2013 and prolific \u2013 Postmodern Jukebox. Go see \u2018em.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Archers of Loaf<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, Dec. 4, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25
\nThese indie rockers from Chapel Hill seemed poised to break into the mainstream several times during their first run back in the \u201890s. That never quite happened, and they took an extended hiatus that lasted even longer than their time together had. They returned in 2011 but didn\u2019t release any new music. But that looked to change in 2020. And then…the pandemic. With that more or less out of the way. Archers of Loaf have returned with Reason in Decline<\/i>, their first new release in a quarter century. And a tour to match!<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Ana Popovic<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Dec. 9, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: 30 advance \/ $35 day of show
\nThere\u2019s no denying that Serbian-born Ana Popovi\u0107 is marketed as a sex symbol. There\u2019s also no denying her skills as an electric blues guitarist. And there\u2019s no rule that says both those things can\u2019t coexist. She puts on a fine show, and tears up the fretboard. So enjoy, and do so without guilt. She comes by her love of the blues honestly; I\u2019ve interviewed her, and those stories are here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Couch<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, Dec. 15, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nA college band in the truest sense of the term, Couch began as a long-distance band of students at various U.S. universities; they recorded virtually, as one often does these days. The seven-member group draws from jazz and theatre, but the resulting music is pop in character. They released a self-titled debut EP in 2021, and one of the tracks, \u201cFall Into Place\u201d has already received more than 1.5 million streams. Vocalist Tema Siegel has a great voice.<\/p>\n

See you at the show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
