Happy New Year! The NYE holiday notwithstanding, we\u2019re happily entering the relatively quiet period in Asheville when fewer tourists come \u2018round. Happily, touring musical acts are back on the road after their holiday breaks. Four very intriguing shows are spotlighted this edition of 30DO, which also marks the four-year anniversary of the column. I hope you find it useful.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Listeso String Quartet <\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Ayurprana Listening Room<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, Jan. 11, 8:45 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $35+
\nThis one’s a bit off the beaten path. Featuring a quartet of string players brought together and\/or booked by an agency called Listeso, this is a candlelit concert featuring the music of Queen. The program also features some Puccini and Mozart. Just because, I guess. There are two 60-minute candlelit shows on this date at the Ayurprana Listening Room, but the earlier show is mostly sold out, so I’ve provided links to tix for the later set.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Jackson Stokes Band<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, Jan. 13, 10 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $free
\nA prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Devon Allman (of that<\/i> Allman family), Stokes is an up-and-coming musician and songwriter. His skill set is the result of both ends of the spectrum: garage bands and college studies. His music draws from southern rock, the Memphis soul tradition and other rock-solid forms. And this is a FREE concert, if you can endure the late start time.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: PAKT<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, Jan. 16, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $22
\nCollectives featuring name artists are de rigueur<\/i> in jazz and\/or improvisational music, and for good reason. The cracking interplay that comes from playing with peers with whom you don\u2019t always work can yield exciting and unpredictable results. This outfit \u2013 part of the Moonjune stable curated by my friend (and Toledo, Spain resident) Leonardo Pavkovic \u2013 features Percy Jones (Brand X, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Suzanne Vega), Alex Skolnick (Testament, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, etc.), Kenny Grohowski (John Zorn, Brand X, etc.), Tim Motzer (Jaki Liebezeit, David Sylvian, etc.). Um, wow<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Jiji<\/a> \/ ALT ASO
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, Jan. 23, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $45
\nNamed in 2021 by the Washington Post<\/i> as \u201cone of the 2 composers\/performers who sound like tomorrow,” acoustic and electric guitarist Jiji is a critically acclaimed artist. She will be performing with (I\u2019m assuming a subset of) the ASO as part of the orchestra\u2019s ALT ASO series.<\/p>\n
