Studio B

From his beginnings in a NYC blues-punk band, to his collaboration with Sue Foley (including a Studio B visit a few years ago), Peter Karp has been a part of the music scene for many years now. Even taking a "break" for 10 years to raise a family and work in the film industry, he kept involved with the likes of Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Michael Brecker, & Richie Havens. He comes through the area with his band on Friday, including Mac Arnold's Restaurant in Greenville.

Whether it's his work with Hot Rize, his sister Mollie O'Brien, his fellow songwriter Darrell Scott, or his countless projects as a producer or sideman, we sure love listening to singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien. One of our favorites returns to Studio B Wednesday, before his show at the Grey Eagle in Asheville that night. He's got a brand new release, Where the River Meets the Road.

Join us for this 5-piece modern-folk Americana act from Illinois on Wednesday afternoon. Area shows include Bristol on Monday the 27th and Greer on Wednesday evening.

Not one but TWO 5-piece American roots-music-based live acts this week! You'll hear the bluegrass roots at the core of this San Francisco band, but their love for jazz, pop, and others styles shows through, too. They're in Knoxville on Wednesday, Johnson City on Thursday, Charlotte on Saturday, and Asheville on Wednesday the 8th.

Twin brothers Eric & Kyle Travers formed this 7-member rock/funk/soul band in 2012, and they've been standing out among the many great Asheville bands lately, between their dynamic live shows and last year's release A Way to Survive. They have a Friday night show at the Asheville Music Hall.
