Weekend Music Picks

As always, this will be a great weekend to see some live music in Downtown Asheville. Here are my picks:

Friday

Erin Bode Group - Erin Bode’s beautiful voice puts many American Idol aspirants to shame. To top it off, her jazz/folk band consists of some truly talented musicians. For sheer artistry, this is the show to see this weekend. Diana Wortham Theatre.

The New Familiars - This band epitomizes the term “genre-bending,” with a sound that has something for everyone. If you have to pigeon-hole it, call it alt-rock. They’re from Charlotte and they’ve been making waves on the East Coast. Stella Blue.

Saturday

Who’s Bad - Despite all his creepy shenanigans, Michael Jackson remains a pop icon. This tribute band to the Man with the Glove dons all the trademark clothes and takes listeners through an anthology from The Jackson Five and beyond. A guaranteed party. The Orange Peel.
