\nLos Angeles-base Ripe formed in 2011, with their own take on funk-pop and alt-rock. They\u2019ve released three albums: 2018\u2019s Joy in the Wild Unknown<\/i> and 2023\u2019s Bright Blues<\/i>, plus a 2023 live album Live from the MGM Music Hall at Fenway<\/i>. While boasting a dance emphasis, the band also claims Miles Davis as an influence. Check \u2018em out at one of Asheville\u2019s newest music venues, and decide for yourself how to square that circle.<\/p>\n

Artist<\/b>: Mystery Lights<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, April 22, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25.10
\nGarage rock came about in the 1960s, inspired by the Rolling Stones and Yardbirds. It\u2019s a decidedly American form, though its influence spread far and wide…and long. Here it is more than a half century later, and younger acts still find inspiration in the form, giving it their own spin. That\u2019s what The Mystery Lights do, combining a classic approach that acknowledges a debt to the past while somehow making it original. And they\u2019ve lasted far longer than most of the original crop: I interviewed them way back in 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/30do_consider.jpg\")

\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, April 26, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $16.50
\nProg-fusion-metal trio Consider the Source is from New York City, but locals may be forgiven for thinking they\u2019re an Asheville group: the instrumental band has cultivated a strong following here, and returns often. That doesn\u2019t mean you should assume that a Consider the Source gig is so commonplace that you tell yourself, \u201cI\u2019ll catch \u2018em next time.\u201d They\u2019ve very<\/em> good at what they do. See them now and<\/i> later.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/30do_rhiannon_giddens.jpg\")

\nThe Carolina Chocolate Drops were an important and groundbreaking Americana band from Durham. The influential group more or less cased operations a decade ago, but its members have gone on to do great things on their own. The brightest stars among the band were Dom Flemons and Rhiannon Giddens. The latter has been nominated for and\/or won countless awards (Grammy, Pulitzer\u2026 you get the idea), and her artistry is immense.<\/p>\n
