This band, fronted by BJ Barham (who has NC roots, by the way), may not have found anything approaching mainstream success, but it’s certainly got a loyal fan base throughout the country that eagerly awaits each strong release from them. And we have that again this year, with another one produced by Shooter Jennings. As Peter Churchill of Americana UK writes, “Barham founded the band in 2006 and, twenty years and twenty albums later, is still writing songs that could sit quite easily within the catalogues of a Springsteen or a Mellencamp. Tackling themes like the downfall of small-town America, the yearning for true connection and the socioeconomic wreckage of unconstitutional politics, Barham’s lyrics paint pictures wrapped around a rock and roll soundtrack.” They play the Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte on August 15th and the Grey Eagle in Asheville on September 3rd.

One of Asheville’s most dynamic and impressive bands returns to Studio B, this time with an adventurous all-instrumental album of some epic jams. “The Get Right Band filters 60’s/70’s psychedelia and 90’s alternative rock through a modern lens–as if Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana co-wrote an album produced by Danger Mouse and Dan Auerbach.” -American Songwriter. Their new album is a departure from their previous ones: One is one constantly flowing piece of music that's intended to be listened to as a whole. It will be released both audio-only, and as a visual album, with an hour of abstract, psychedelic imagery that moves with the music.
