This Week in Asheville: Feb. 3-9
Asheville’s wealth of live music, theater, and comedy offerings can leave concertgoers feeling overwhelmed when it comes to picking which shows to attend. But have no fear! The Asheville Stages staff is here to help with insights on the week’s most appealing options.
Billy Strings
In the past several years, this kid from Michigan has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity, becoming a bluegrass superstar. The Grammy winner’s acclaim has reached far beyond the typical banjo- and fiddle-loving crowd, gaining widespread fandom amongst the jam band community. Not only will he perform three nights this week, but he’ll be back for another round next week! —Jonny Leather
at ExploreAsheville.com Arena

Ghøstkid
In town all the way from Germany, this metal band is loud, intense, and experienced playing in front of far larger crowds. This means that the Thursday night performance at the 400-person capacity South Slope venue should be pretty insane. —JL
w/ Hawk / Crucifiction
at Eulogy
Thursday, Feb. 6
Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
[metalcore, alternative metal]

Will Abeles
Sure, a more well-known comedian is in town this week (Jeff Dunham), but comedy is always better in a more intimate setting, and this Nashville-based comic should bring the laughs. —JL
at Catawba Brewing
Friday, Feb. 7
Doors: 6:30pm / Show: 7:00pm
[stand-up comedy]

David Ramirez & Dylan LeBlanc
If the River Arts District venue wasn’t already flexing its muscles on Saturday with Tommy “Son of John” Prine in the early evening slot, things get downright Schwarzenegger-esque in the late night session with this pair of stellar singer/songwriters and instrumentalists. Ramirez performs in his trio arrangement while LeBlanc brings his full band in tow for what promises to be a memorable evening. —Edwin Arnaudin
at Grey Eagle Music Hall
Saturday, Feb. 8
Doors: 9pm / Show: 9:30pm
[americana, rock]
