Cellist Ben Sollee created a night of gorgeous music Friday night at the Dry Goods Shop, and more great music continues into the week. Phillip Roebuck, star of the late-night Doo-Nanny, is a Virginia-born, New York-bred songster and bare-bones one-man band.
With punk rock intensity, Roebuck stomps out beats on a classic, depression-era drum apparatus, while strumming the banjo with a fierce style. (Watch the video to learn everything you need to know about this guy’s music.)
“He plucks that banjo like a madman, like the devil himself.”
-New York Press
“There’s no niche or category to file this under. It’s just simply amazing.”-Autopia
Ben Sollee at Friday night’s show: “Go see Phillip Roebuck! You will get your money’s worth!”
Also appearing is Asheville’s own Brian McGee, who celebrates a successful Kickstarter effort to fan-fund a vinyl version of his new CD.
“McGee’s inner punk no longer sounds conflicted alongside jangly country twang, and he instead walks the line with confidence and ease, having settled into a brand of Americana that resides somewhere between Lucero and Bruce Springsteen.”-Mountain Xpress,
Tickets are $8, BYOB and a snack to share (Short Street cupcakes would be real good). Check out a cool community art and craft space (handmade items make great gifts) and support the work of local crafters. All proceeds go to the musicians.
Explore, experience and support local and independent music, online, onstage, and in the record store.
