Wow. Lots of great live music coming to Asheville, and soon. Let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Atomic Crumb<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Oskar Blues<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, May 17, 1 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $free (but c\u2019mon: tip generously!)
\nOut of the ashes of some of Western NC\u2019s best bands comes Atomic Crumb, a group with talent and creativity to burn. They trio applies it skills to music that has hints of powerpop, Southern rock and other rock-solid styles. Atomic Crumb just released its self-titled debut, reviewed briefly right here<\/a>. And hey: this is a free show, so go!<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Future Islands
\nVenue<\/b>: Eulogy<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, May 23, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $55.66
\nThis synth-pop band got its start nearly a decade ago right here in NC (well, in Greenville). Future Islands broke out with their 2014 album Singles<\/em>, and its spotlight single \u201cSeasons (Waiting on You).\u201d Known for their energetic live performances, Samuel Herring\u2019s expressive vocals and dynamic stage presence have become central to the band’s identity.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: EXTC<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, May 27, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $31.31
\nOver the years, many groups have been touted as the \u201cnext Beatles.\u201d Setting aside the hyperbole associated with such claims, Swindon, England\u2019s XTC<\/a> actually came close. With two superb songwriters and a fascinating creative development from album to album, they could have been huge, but weren\u2019t. In part that\u2019s because they ceased touring at the apex of their popularity. Today, and with the blessing of leader Andy Partridge<\/a>, original drummer Terry Chambers leads a sort-of tribute group, EXTC, bringing the band\u2019s music to live audiences who didn\u2019t have the chance first time \u2018round. Watch for my feature\/interview with Chambers, coming soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Thee Sacred Souls<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, May 31, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $55.05
\nLaunched in 2019, the trio made its recorded debut with \u201cCan I Call You Rose?\u201d a standout track that would feature on the group\u2019s self-titled debut album in 2022. Widely acclaimed by critics, Thee Sacred Souls<\/i> ended up on many best-of album lists for the year. Part of the roster of tastemaking Daptone Records, the group released a followup, Got a Story to Tell<\/i> last October. Damn it: this show is sold out!<\/p>\n

See you at the show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
