The end of the year and the cold of winter represent something of a return to form for Asheville; most of the tourists are gone, and locally-based artists who tour are home for the holidays. So this period represents an opportunity to take in some top-notch local\/regional talent. All three of those on this roundup are staging holiday-themed shows in December. And right after the New Year, one of the most unique touring acts out there returns to town.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Russ Wilson<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Isis Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20*
\nMusical man-about-town Wilson is renowned for his holiday shows. Bringing out the big band and serving up an evening of classic, it\u2019s an event you won\u2019t want to miss. *That said, do be warned of the venue\u2019s usurious minimum purchase policy. You\u2019ll think you died and went to Las Vegas. (Late-breaking news: the venue is up for sale.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nArtist<\/b>: Datrian Johnson<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, Dec. 22, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nJohnson is an Asheville-based vocal powerhouse with a wide stylistic range. He fronts The Fritz (funk), the innovative Saint Disruption and hip hop outfit Free Radio, but for this show he\u2019s focusing on holiday-themed material. Could be anything, and for sure it\u2019ll be good.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Asheville Jazz Orchestra<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: White Horse Black Mountain<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Dec. 23, 2 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20 advance \/ $22 day of show
\nThe pandemic put a stop to performances by this big band, so seeing their name on the calendar is welcome indeed. They, too, will be playing holiday faves for their December date.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Artist<\/b>: Moon Hooch<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Jan. 13, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $18 advance \/ $20 day of show
\nTwo saxes and a drummer? Could be weird, you say? Indeed it is, but it\u2019s also fantastic, and more accessible than you might guess. I first saw Moon Hooch years ago (2013). Interviewed \u2018em too<\/a>. They visit Asheville a lot \u2013 last here in April \u2013 and the audiences here love \u2018em for good reason.<\/p>\n

Happy holidays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
