"Pro tip: Go see Floating Action whenever possible," writes photographer Rich Orris on his blog, UnofficiallyAsheville.com. Here's the thing: Multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer Seth Kauffman's touch can be heard on albums by Benny Yurco (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals) and Juston Stens (Dr. Dog), and his collaborators include Jim James and Dan Aurbach, all of which keeps him hard at work. That, and Floating Action has been at work on a new record, due out in 2014. The band has been busy: The group's last local show was in May. Good news: Kauffman and company will take the stage at The Mothlight on Friday, Dec. 20, at 9:30 p.m. $10/$12. themothlight.com. Photo by Rich Orris
