Maybe your schedule allows for going out during the week. Maybe you’re on vacation. Maybe you just like burning the candle at both ends. If so, here are three early-part-of-the-week events worth staying out on the town for (including The Prids, pictured here).

This afternoon, the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce and local artist Jonas Gerard unveiled “Electric Mantra,” a painted steel sculpture which Gerard has gifted to the Asheville Visitor Center.
Tickets for the co-bill show at the Orange Peel (Friday, Oct. 21) go on sale next Friday, Aug. 12. Fans can also pre-order Blitzen Trapper’s (seen here) forthcoming album.
Performing in the play Shear Madness must be a bit like taking on Bill Murray's role in Groundhog Day. You do it over and over, night after night. You can attempt to alter the course of the plot (Madness has some built-in wild cards) but the end result is more or less known. And then […]

Just because Bele Chere is quieter on Sunday doesn’t mean it’s any less stylish.

Pure, straight-forward rock ‘n roll is what Athens, Ga.-based band the Whigs are known for. And they did not disappoint. Photos by Chris Wood.

Festival fashion takes over downtown Asheville. This is just the beginning.
Chicago collective Kids These Days was a last-minute addition to the Bele Chere lineup (after Mambo Sauce dropped out). But the group of classically and jazz-trained musicians, ages 17-21, are well-worth catching. They blend elements of jazz, singer/songwriter and hip-hop into a fresh and upbeat sound. They perform on Saturday, July 30 on the Battery Park Stage, 6-7:30 p.m.
