It\u2019s time for an all-local edition of 30 Days Out. I\u2019ve been running this twice-monthly roundup of live music in Asheville for twelve years now: six for Mountain Xpress<\/i>, six more here on Musoscribe. And while touring acts are important, I\u2019ve always endeavored to shine a luight on the splendind talent that lives right here in Western NC. So this time, as we wrap up 2025, here are four Asheville shows featuring Asheville artists. Go see and hear \u2018em!<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Jon Stickley Trio<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Eulogy<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Dec. 19, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $22.82
\nThis trio has been making its brand of progressive bluegrass for more than a decade. You can do a lot with guitar, fiddle and drums, and they prove it. Fresh off a run of dates that took them to Duluth and Minneapolis, they\u2019re coming to Eulogy, an intimate South Slope venue with a great sound system and techs who know how to run it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Amanda Anne Platt and the Honeycutters<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Satuday, Dec. 20, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30.25
\nAmanda is a WNC-and-beyond treasure; her style of singing-songwriting embodies true Americana musical values. Definitely not of the \u201cput on a cowboy hat and play at being a c&w artist\u201d mentality that has overrun modern country, she writes songs about real things. And her band is top-notch. This annual holiday show is always a crowd-pleaser. Interviews with Amanda are here<\/a>, here<\/a> and also here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Event<\/b>: A Swannanoa Solstice<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Wortham Center<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, Dec. 21, 2 and 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $34.78 and up
\nA showcase of regional stars playing Americana, soCeltic, roots and world music, this two-perofmrance run features John Doyle<\/a> & Cathie Ryan; Maura Shawn Scanlin, Zoe & Cloyd<\/a>; Josh Goforth; EJ Jones & the Piper Jones Band and Elizabeth McCorvey. Becky Stone emcees.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Cheeksters<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, Dec. 27, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $18.45
\nCo-leader Mark Casson writes great and impopssibly catchy songs that are both in line with classic pop and rock yet fresh and new. The band doesn\u2019t play live very much these days, so missing this show would be foolhardy. There\u2019s lots of previous coverage of the band on this site<\/a>, because they deserve it. Doss Church and the Unholy Noise open.<\/p>\n

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