Rock, rock, folk-rock and more rock: whether local acts or touring bands, it\u2019s a rocking May and June here in Asheville. Go see some live music.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019ve said it many times before, and I\u2019ll say it yet again: These guys rock hard, bringing forth the spirit of early rock\u2019n\u2019roll, the kind of thing you\u2019d find 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. What\u2019s that something? Go see \u2018em. It\u2019s free, even! (Tips welcome and encouraged.)<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Drivin N Cryin<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, June 12, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $26.86
\nAtlanta-based Kevn Kinney is one of rock\u2019s finest songwriters, and his band \u2013 which has been around forever \u2013 is always rocking. I interviewed Kinney back in 2015, and the conversation yielded several features<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Lord Huron<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Explore Asheville Arena<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, June 14, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $74.50+
\nThe name might make you think this band is form the Great Lakes region. Nope; this indie quartet is from L.A. Their indie-folk sound may remind some of My Morning Jacket or Fleet Foxes. Their biggest success to date came with their second album, 2015\u2019s Platinum-selling Strange Trails<\/em>. Lord Huron\u2019s most recent release, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1<\/i> was released in 2025; it missed topping the U.S. Folk charts by only one spot (three previous albums made it to No. 1). Thao opens.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Wolfmother<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Monday, June 15, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $45.85
\nYou can consider yourself forgiven if your response to seeing a Wolfmother concert date was something along the lines of, \u201cI didn\u2019t know they were still a thing.\u201d The Australian power trio\u2019s peak popularity came right about two decades ago. Today only leader-singer-guitarist Andrew Stockdale remains from the original lineup; current bassist James Wassenaar is the (check notes) seventh musician to hold that role. Drummer Christian Condon has eight predecessors. That said, the sound remains the same: a powerful, delightfully retro one. Made with an earlier rhythm section, 2021\u2019s self-released Rock Out<\/i> is their latest. Love Gang opens.<\/p>\n
