Live Bluegrass with The Sons of Ralph band at Jack of the Wood in Asheville NC, Fridays at 7:00

The Hourglass Kids began as a group of high school friends jamming in various North Carolina basements, growing over the years into a dynamic seven-piece reggae-jam-rock collective. Known for their electrifyingly original live shows,the band draws on the distinct lyricism of four vocalists and the vibrant energy of a full horn section. Their music spans an eclectic mix of styles, blending roots reggae, psychedelic jam, hip-hop, funk, and jazz-rock.

The Keith Allen Circus is exactly what it sounds like. A high flying, death defying, trapeze act of sound led by multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and ringmaster, Keith Allen, with Kevin Purcell (Drums/Keyboards), Jonathon Sale (Bass), and Bradley Turner (Guitar) The original music blends styles of dark rock and jam (Pink Floyd & Widespread Panic), and catchy psychedelic electro-pop (Gorillaz & Tame Impala) with Keith's own unique compositional and improvisational style, developed from 20 years playing with The Mantras.

From Charlotte NC, Warp Street is named for the place it was conceived. Singer/songwriter Max Hofmann, drummer Sam Hofmann, bassist James Mallette and lead guitarist Merritt Duncan formed in late 2022. They draw from a wide host of influences including 90s alternative, power pop, post punk and alt-country.

"Guitarist Shane Pruitt plays like a man possessed: Eyes closed, long red hair flailing, riffs and solos flying off at a blistering pace. It's less like he's a highly skilled musician than he is an open channel, with music flowing from his fingers without effort. Pruitt is a favorite session guitarist amongst many circles, and has been seen performing with The Marshall Tucker Band, Hurt & Skip, Jeff Sipe, Ike Stubblefield, Yonrico Scott, Col. Bruce Hampton, Duane Trucks and many more."

The Jazz Showcase is curated by esteemed pianist, scholar, and UNC Asheville music professor Dr. Bill Bares; this showcase series is dedicated to bringing the region’s finest jazz musicians and most compelling sounds to our stage in a true listening room experience.

Some bands play songs. TAS plays entire albums — front to back, note for note — and they do it with a different lineup every time.

Led by local musician Caleb Davis, TAS is a rotating-lineup concert project with a simple but ambitious premise: assemble a crew of skilled players, pick an iconic album, and perform the whole thing live. TAS has taken on Pink Floyd's entire catalogue, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Allman Brothers, Metallica, and many more — each show a unique event with a handpicked ensemble matched to the material.

Now TAS raises the bar with "Recreating The Zappa Experience" — a complete performance of Frank Zappa's Apostrophe (') plus a set of additional Zappa classics. It's a gauntlet of odd time signatures, jazz-fusion complexity, and razor-sharp satire that has become a trademark of Zappa’s legacy. Joining Davis on guitar and vocals: Mark Stallings (keyboards), Chad Thompson (bass), Curtis Wingfield (drums), and Trevor Cook (percussion).

This is TAS at its most fearless. Don't miss it.
