When presented with the chance to play at The Orange Peel, Camp David frontman (and sometimes soloist under the same name) Steven Brett recruited two of his favorite local bands — Doc Aquatic and Fashion Bath — to round out the lineup. “I feel this is a great opportunity to show The Orange Peel and venues like it that there are Asheville bands good enough to be showcased on a big stage,” Brett says. Indeed, when IamAVL captured a live performance by Camp David, the full band’s ultramoody rock filled Echo Mountain Studios from floor to high ceiling with a heavy and hauntingly satisfying dissonance. The Orange Peel hosts the free night of homegrown music, including Camp David’s release of single “The Poison,” on Friday, March 25, at 9 p.m. theorangepeel.net. Photo by Adam Wolesgale
