The local teen blues-rock outfit Skinny Legs and All celebrated the release of its first original CD, appropriately titled The Original. Xpress sent videographer Jesse Hamm to capture some of the action at the Grey Eagle last Saturday night. Here, their song “Every Mile Was Worth It.”

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.

Does anyone know if Jesse Barry getting some professional coaching/lessons so she can take her talent to the next level? She’s got so much potential!
Agreed with Music Lover…
It would be great to see this song performed at “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes”, the international march against Sexual Assault, Rape, and Gender Violence. Asheville’s March is put on by Our VOICE, the rape crisis center in Buncombe County. The community here has embraced the event and the cause. I’m sure all participants and all who benefit from the event on the 24th will think that every mile was worth it! http://walkamileasheville.org/
