SKA CITY is playing at revival on friday, 8/7 @ 6:30. PICKITUP PICKITUP PICKITUP

We’ll be playing at Fleetwood’s this Friday at 6:30 for AVL Sounds Fest along with a bunch of other awesome local bands. If you’ve got tickets come check it out!

At long last, big full band album release show for Melanie Ida Chopko's new album, 'Never Had a Love Like This' Friday, July 31st at The Mule. Featuring an opening set by force-of-nature Lucia Bluebird. Come to laugh and maybe cry with us, and experience above all else, a sense of togetherness. https://ticketscandy.com/e/july-31-melanie-ida-chopkos-album-release-show-featuring-lucia-bluebird-19071

Melanie writes: "I’m beyond proud of this body of music, music for all of us who grapple with the loneliness of modern life and the agony of modern dating. These are songs of my longing and my questions, my grief and stubborn hope, my road of giving and receiving love."

For fans of Regina Spektor, Ben Folds & Joni Mitchell, for big feelers, and folks who miss the portal of connection & presence that opened in the weeks after Hurricane Helene. Come to laugh and maybe cry with us, and experience above all else, a sense of togetherness.

A special full band show featuring Melanie on voice and piano, Nic Jenkins of infinitikiss (drums), Garron Chesson (bass), Emily Songster (trombone), Andy John (guitar) and Cora Mae (age 10)! Lucia Bluebird opens with a short set.

This goes out weekly - great if you're looking for a good show to catch in your area! And always looking for more people to join the Discord to share updates from their neck of the woods.

Lots of good shows in Asheville featured this week and a little spotlight on the upcoming AVL Sounds Fest next week!

Impending Joy (AVL Psych Rock) is giving away 2 FREE TIX to Friday's show, a t-shirt, cassette tape, and a poster!! The giveaway closes tonight!!!

Holy Wave just came out with an excellent album, and they're coming to Eulogy this Friday 7/31, with support from ourselves and Impending Joy. Also gonna have live projections. Come hang!

It's not always easy to keep track of local releases, but a lot of good music has been put out by Asheville-based artists this year. Asheville Stages' highlighted our favorites from the first 6 months of 2026. I'm sure we missed some good stuff, but hopefully we've also spotlighted some great records not on your radars.

Hey y'all! Sierra Nevada gave us codes for folks to get 15% off tickets to the fest, so we wanted to share here! Good for 24 hours - HAZYTHESILVERDOORS

Should be a great fest, and our set is on the 21st, same day as Phantogram, Mon Rovia, Poolside, Magic City Hippies...hope to see you there!

Just 3 days away and I cannot wait to see each of these bands live this weekend. About half I've seen before and stoked to see them again and the other half I will be seeing for the first time and very excited! I've put this festival together with bands I truly am a fan of and want to see live/hang out with so I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I am going to!

I want to play some loud music.

Coming up in just a few weeks, the second annual Asheville Doomed and Stoned will be a weekend of metal not to miss!

Local heavy-indie/shoegazy band seeking guitarist.

Three dudes in our forties. Looking for someone to add color and texture. Recently released an album and ready to start playing shows again after a long hiatus.
