There are a couple of upcoming shows that have caught my attention:

First, it’s Custard Pie, unplugged, at the Jack of the Wood on Friday night. That just sounds plain cool.

Second, it’s Agent Orange at the Rocket Club on Monday night. If you don’t know, these guys were hugely influential on the punk and hardcore scenes back in my day. Go here to their myspace.

Then there’s this, which is coming up in September, along with a bunch of other stuff. But more on that later. Here’s the release on Town Mountain:

(Asheville, NC) Local bluegrass treasures, Town Mountain, will take the stage
on Friday, September 26th for the debut event of their newest CD, Heroes & Heretics. Doors open at 9pm for this all ages show costing $8.

The Charleston Music Review stated, “Jimmy Martin, Hank Williams, and the Ramones had a baby. And its name is Town Mountain.”

Born out of the all night jam sessions and fertile picking scene of Asheville, North Carolina, Town Mountain has emerged as one of the premiere young American bluegrass bands. Great original material, tight vocal harmonies, a charismatic stage presence, and instrumental expertise place this group in the upper tier of contemporary acoustic bands. But, in the end, it’s always the undeniable, irresistible energy of a live Town Mountain show that truly sets this group apart.
