There\u2019s a lighthearted spin to some of what\u2019s on musicwise in the coming thirty days. But the schedule is leavened with a fundraiser to help locally in the ongoing wake of Helene. And there’s some historically significant reggae, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Aquabats<\/a>!
\nVenue<\/b>: Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Monday, June 16, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $38.77
\nHigh concept pranksters from Huntington Beach, California, the Aquabats are a wacky troupe that makes music encompassing a number of styles. Their most well-known tune, \u201cSuper Rad!\u201d traffics in a kind of ska style, but another popular tune (\u201cThe Shark Fighter!\u201d) is simply wacky, anthemic rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. Should be fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Melissa McKinney et. al. (Mercy in the Mountains<\/a>)
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, June 18, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $18.45
\nThe bill for this fundraising gig (benefiting Habitat for Humanity and LEAF Global Arts) features Melissa McKinney\u2019s Mama, Mad Dog Blues Band and Eric Freeman aka The Blueridge Boy. Read my story about the ongoing Mercy in the Mountains initiative right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Pleasure Chest<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Highland Brewing
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, June 28, 6 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $free (but please tip generously!)
\nI\u2019ve said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again: These guys rock hard, bringing forth the spirit of early rock\u2019n\u2019roll, the kind of thing you\u2019d fine on the Loud, Fast and Out of Control<\/i> boxed set. No soppy balladry here. Guitarist Erich Hubner \u2013 he of the wild-looking guitars \u2013 used to be in Man\u2026 Or Astro-Man? And that should tell you something.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Steel Pulse<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: French Broad River Outdoor<\/a> Stage
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, July 2, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $40.10
\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
