Asheville-based progressive, jazzy jam band Deja Fuze performed a quick set for passersby in front of the Flat Iron sculpture this afternoon. Drawing power from their van, the amplified trio of Jake Cavinder (drums), Joey Lewis (guitar) and Keith Harry (bass) performed roughly a half-dozen songs before moving on. Bummed you missed the show? Fret not! We captured part of their set for your enjoyment.

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

“Were from Buffalo, Ny and we came to Asheville to make music!”
So, you’re permanently in Asheville or just passing through? I credited you as being Asheville-based because it was listed on your MySpace page, but if you’re actually from Buffalo I’ll be happy to correct the post above.
