A world-class jazz musician, a pair of celebrated Asheville-based acts and a top-flight bluegrass group: those are among the highlights of the coming 30 days in live music here in Asheville.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Michael Rabinowitz Quartet<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: White Horse<\/a>*
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, March 19, 7:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20 suggested
\nBassoon isn\u2019t among the most well-known instruments. And when one odes bring the slightly odd-looking woodwind to mind, jazz isn\u2019t first idiom that\u2019s discussed. But jazz bassoon is what Michael Rabinowitz is all about; a veteran of myriad sessions with some of jazz\u2019s biggest names \u2013 Wynton Marsalis and Joe Lovano among them \u2013 Rabinowitz is also a founding member of the Charles Mingus Orchestra. He\u2019ll appear for this White Horse performance with his Quartet, accompanied by piano, drums and bass.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Somewhat Petty<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Third Room<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, March 28, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $19.73
\nFor concertgoers who didn\u2019t get to experience the real thing \u2013 or for those wh did but wish to experience the thrill yet again \u2013 tribute bands are a popular draw. And the work of tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is widely beloved, critically lauded and just plain durable, so the existence of this fine, Asheville-based tribute band is a fine ting indeed. When I hosted my Music to Your Ears<\/a> series, band leader Damon Goldman was my special guest\/co-host for an evening in celebration of that music. This is an opportunity to experience Somewhat Petty on a big stage with a top-notch sound system.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Lee Fields<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, April 2, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $40.42
\nLee Fields is a superb soul singer with a long pedigree. And while his early material is primarily known within the circles of especially-hip soul aficionados, his more recent output on Daptone has brought him the wider exposure he so richly deserves. I interviewed him <\/a>nearly a decade ago for a story<\/a>, and just spoke to him again for a feature that will run soon (ahead of this show) in Mountain Xpress<\/i>. Monophonics open.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Della Mae<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, April 10, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $24.10
\nDella Mae are notable as one of the best all-female bluegrass bands out there. But that description sells them short: they\u2019re superb at what they do in a way that renders mention of gender wholly superfluous. I interviewed band leader and fiddler Kimber Luidker<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

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