This Saturday, December 4th, the Melanaster Band returns to the Emerald Lounge, joined by folk / pop heroes Uncle Mountain.

Uncle Mountain combines complex, multi-layered harmonies with Americana songwriting to create a sound that is “rich, layered, lively, and most surprisingly, cohesive.” – CityBeat (Cincinnati).  They are also cuter than a baby Fennec fox.  These guys keep getting better over time, and are among the best bands based in Asheville!

*update* There will be high-quality video / audio captured at the show for release on the web, so come out and be part of the action!

A lovely review of the Melanaster Band’s September show at the Emerald Lounge appears in Lydia See’s blog. Check out the review, sure, but stick around for her excellent photography and musings on the Asheville music scene.  PS she also has a brand-new photojournal here.
