A critically acclaimed artist whose body of work spans punk, Americana and more; a heavy-gigging jam band; a great local group that\u2019s bubbling under; an up-and-coming band outta Nashville about which you\u2019ll likely be hearing more: these are the highest of the musical highlights in and around Asheville over the coming 30 days. Here we go! No foolin’.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Alejandro Escovedo<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, April 5, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30 advance \/ $35 day of show
\nToday Alejandro Escovedo is renowned as a passionate, evocative singer-songwriter and engaging performer. His rock and even punk bona fides are without question: he was part of the Nuns, heroes of San Francisco\u2019s punk scene. His music today doesn\u2019t bear that sort of sound, but the commitment and fire of his punk days remains. I\u2019ve interviewed him for my book about 415 Records<\/a>, and on three occasions<\/a> about his own more recent solo work. James Mastro of The Bongos opens.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Disco Biscuits<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, April 11, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $39.50
\nReaders of this blog will likely be familiar with my attitude toward jam bands. In case you missed it, the style gives me no joy, and that\u2019s an understatement. Still, lots of noodle-dancing people dig the genre, and who am I to spoil their fun? For such individuals, Disco Biscuits are considered among the \u201cbest.\u201d I think I\u2019ve written enough about this. I\u2019ll stop now.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Pretty Little Goat<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: 185 King St.<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, April 11, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15+
\nGreat local Americana band. I\u2019ll save time and merely quote from the opening graf of my 2021 interview feature<\/a>: \u201cPretty Little Goat bridges the gap between old time and contemporary music. Loosely defined as a string band, the Brevard-based quartet draws much of its inspiration from the music of the mountains, says mandolinist Josh Carter. \u2018The hills are always calling,\u2019 he says. But although Pretty Little Goat has its roots in tradition, the group isn\u2019t stuck in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Flight Attendant<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Monday, April 29, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15 advance \/ $19 day of show
\nI know better than most that genre\/subgenre labels don\u2019t always count for much. This Nashville group describes itself as \u201cavant pop,\u201d and truth be told, that\u2019s pretty accurate. The band\u2019s music is adventurous yet rooted in timeless pop values. Listen to the stomping, T. Rexified swagger of \u201cMan of Chaos\u201d and you\u2019ll get a sense of their sound and attitude. An act to watch, for sure. The opening act is \u00bfWATCHES? (it really is).<\/p>\n
