An Emotionally Rich Performance By Guy Davis
Every once in a while I see a show that truly takes away my breath, be it by the power of the music, the lyrics, or both, or by the passionate intensity of the musicians. Guy Davis who performed at The Extended Play Sessions recently delivered one of those shows in all those respects.

I arrived early and was treated to part of the sound check/rehearsal, which lasted until doors opened. After the first few notes, I was hooked (lucky me, I was able to hear even more of his fabulous music).
Fine Blues Guitar Riffs Filled The Fallout Shelter
This show came at the end of a week during which I heard some incredible music, and I was tired and almost overwhelmed by the high quality of the music. Imagine my delight when I discovered that Roberto Morbioli and his band was right up there with the other shows I had seen!

Roberto Morbioli
Hailing from Italy, Roberto spends much time touring the United States and he was on my radar for quite a while as a musician I needed to see.
Holiday Extravaganza At The Extended Play Sessions

Chandler Travis is a throwback to a different time. Part vaudeville, part Brit pop, part California garage but all rolled into a consummate entertainer and songwriter.
Scorching Blues Rocked The Extended Play Sessions
Bobby Thompson Project made a much-anticipated return to The Extended Play Sessions last month. I did not think it would be possible to repeat the energy of his previous appearance in June; not only was it repeated, it was surpassed.

This is mostly a photo essay about this show. Do not misinterpret this as a dislike of the show (as in, ‘if you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all’); because I reviewed Bobby so recently, I decided to let the photos to speak volumes to you. The show was incendiary!

The Get Right Band Funked Up The House!
This was my third time seeing The Get Right Band, an Asheville-based funky rock band, at The Extended Play Sessions, and I am not growing tired of them in the least!

The Get Right Band
This band needs to be seen live to be fully appreciated; they have an energy as well as a way of connecting with their audience that makes them stand out.
