<\/p>\nAsheville has a stellar array of musical artists based here. And I would encourage you to support them as enthusiastically and often as possible; they\u2019re worth it, and their music is central to what makes the city special. That said, this time \u2018round I\u2019m focusing on four nationally-touring acts coming through town.<\/p>\n

\nVenue<\/b>: Masonic Temple<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, Sep. 19, 7:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $27
\nIt\u2019s a rare artist who develops a cult following and expands into the mainstream (or some form thereof). But guitarist\/singer\/songwriter Jurado has done just that. Combining acoustic textures with avant-garde elements, and has won critical praise for doing so. This venue (the Asheville Masonic Temple) is a lovely (and only occasionally-used) place to take in a concert, by the way.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/30do_durand_jones.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Durand Jones<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Oct. 6, 8:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $27
\nIt\u2019s tempting to think of classic-style r&b and\/or soul as music of the past. But as Durand Jones makes plain, that need not be the case. This acclaimed singer and songwriter manages to be classic and very contemporary all at once. Go see him.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/30do_henry_rollins2.jpg\")

\n\u201cYou gotta hold \u2019em. You gotta drill them into their seats. You must be compelling. You must be concise.\u201d That\u2019s part of what Henry Rollins told me<\/a> back in 2010 as he was gearing up for one of his spoken-word tours. The man is compelling beyond compare; he\u2019s one of the most incisive and acute observers of today\u2019s world, and you should hear what he has to say.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/30do_margaret_glaspy.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Margaret Glaspy<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Oct. 13, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20
\nWow: it\u2019s been seven years since I last interviewed Margaret Glaspy<\/a>. At that time, her career as a solo artist was just getting underway. Today she has four albums (plus a par of EPs) to her credit. Echo the Diamond<\/i> is her newest album, and has earned her widespread acclaim; she\u2019s embarking upon a major tour in support of the record, and Asheville is fortunate to be on the calendar.<\/p>\n
