\nThe exuberant music of ska has never really gone away; listeners and dancers are drawn in by its positive and kinetic appeal. So it\u2019s no surprise that key musicians in the Western North Carolina music scene put together a ska group, Ska City. Their horn section is so tight that it\u2019s often lent out to other acts who want the extra firepower. I interviewed some of the band members just last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s widely known that the music of Frank Zappa is among the most demanding. It\u2019s complicated and intimidating. So who better to play it that alumni of his groups? This outfit features three from that esteemed list of players. Not to be missed.

\nCombining bluegrass and a sort of jam band aesthetic isn\u2019t a novel approach in 2024, but if that\u2019s your thing, you can\u2019t do much better than check out this group; they\u2019ve been doing it longer than most, and they get what\u2019s special about the style.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/30do_steelpulse.jpg\")

\nJesse Royal opens.
\nReggae has as much of a tradition in the UK as it does in Jamaica. And among British reggae outfits, Steel Pulse is among the most legendary and revered. They were key in bringing the genre to punk fans in the \u201870s, and they carry on the proud work to this day.<\/p>\n
