Two local acts (three, actually) and two nationally-touring bands, the latter of which is taking a well-deserved victory lap. Those are among the highlights of live music in and around Asheville in the coming 30 days. Bucke up.<\/p>\n

\nAsheville might not be the first place one looks for sounds of tropicalia and\/or Cuban music, but, well, here it is, and it\u2019s quite good. The cabaret traditions that flourished in the beleaguered island nation live on there, but White Horse is a lot closer, and not as under siege by an antagonistic U.S. government as Havana is at present.<\/p>\n

\nAsheville treasure Jeff Santiago has led Los Gatos for many years, bringing his original music to audiences in and around WNC. The band\u2019s 2024 album Washing Away Wetiko<\/i><\/a> is a strong as it is eclectic, touching on electronica, hard rock, pop and more. Fashion Bath opens.<\/p>\n

\nVenue<\/b>: Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, Sep. 10, 8 p.m.

\nProgressive metal combines the arrangement, compositional and musical qualities of progressive rock with the fury and technical precision of metal. While they got their start in Massachusetts, Elder is now based in Berlin. The band has seven studio albums and a pair of live releases (plus a bunch of EPs). 2026\u2019s Through Zero<\/i> is their latest. Asheville\u2019s own Bask<\/a> opens.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Little Feat<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Thomas Wolfe<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sep. 11, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $68.45 and up
\nFrank Zappa famously kicked Lowell George out of the Mothers, telling him to go start his own band He did, and Little Feat went on to become one of the most beloved, if classifiable of American bands. Rock? Americana? Yes, and more. Lowell died in 1979, but surviving members relaunched the band less than a decade later. Keyboardist and founding member Bill Payne is still on board on what the band is teasing as a farewell tour. We\u2019ll see\u2026<\/p>\n
