\nPsychedelic indie rock\u201d is a fairly apt description for what this Asheville-based trio does, but in truth it barely scratches the surface of their finely textured, complex yet grooving and accessible music. Four albums in, they continue to push forward. And they\u2019re very good live. I\u2019ve interviewed them multiple times: here<\/a> and here<\/a> will get you started. Rockstead opens.<\/p>\n

\nAn Asheville institution, these cats have been around seemingly forever. And than goodness: they keep a particular kind of jazz alive for current listeners. I last spoke with them in 2020; here\u2019s that short feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/30do_haken.jpg\")

\nEvery so often \u2013 not as often as I\u2019d like \u2013 I stumble across a new (new to me, anyway) artist whose music moves me, and then I discover that they have a rich back catalog to explore. That happened with Haken. Often classified as prog-metal, in their music I hear much more of the former and less of the latter, which goes some way toward explaining why they appeal to me. Hints of Gentle Giant show up, but with a heavier foundation. Their latest is a concept album!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/30do_oconnors.jpg\")

\nTranscending genre, violinist\/fiddler Mark O\u2019Connor has explored Americana, classical and (as a member of Dixie Dregs!) fusion. With wife and fellow violinist Maggie he focuses on the first of those, but it\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n
