Night out in Asheville
Taking a few days off ...
... which allowed me to make the club scene in Asheville last night with Andrew and Kenny.
High Point native Evan Hill was playing at The Grey Eagle with his band, Wilson the Rocker.
No false advertising. They rocked. It was a fun show.
Evan and Andrew have been friends since Ferndale Middle School. Evan and other friends were at our house Friday night waiting for us to arrive home from the airport with Andrew. I'm glad we had a chance to take in WTR's show last night.
I also enjoyed the performance by opener Holiday Childress of the Goodies. He's a clever, quirky singer/guitarist.
There's a lively music scene in Asheville, as America learned from the Smashing Pumpkins' comeback engagement there this summer.
The Grey Eagle is a roomy, casual venue with lots of outstanding local beers on tap and a spicy gumbo simmering. It made for a great evening for our multigenerational outing.

I checked out Wilson the Rocker on their MS. I think Mr. Wilson may be selling himself short-I think he may be a teenage messiah who doesn't need to be redeemed.
I would like to offer my own prodigious musical talents to these talented young men who might be giants, but what I think they really need is a female voice, especially for harmony, like a Neko Case or Jenny Lewis, but then again who doesn't.
Good music.

Ah...I can hear some in there but it's mixed down quite a bit, then again, after years of self-abuse, my hearing's not what it should be.
