FEATURING: A monthly listening party celebrating significant albums in their entirety, with this 3rd installment to feature “Vs.”, the first full-length release by the Boston band Mission of Burma, released in 1982. Self-described as a caterwauling band who looked like they worked in the post office, Mission of Burma toiled in obscurity, often playing to skeptical or even hostile audiences, and soon broke up and disappeared in 1983. Their farewell tour was documented on record and on film, but “Vs.” remains the creative apex of an extremely bright and burning career arc. Generations of subsequent bands to come have admired Mission of Burma for their textured aesthetic, oblique lyrics, expressive dynamics, and experimental live tape loop composition, all of which are on display on this uncategorizable masterpiece.
Presented by Dr. Toby King, who holds a B.A. from Amherst College, an M.S. in Geology from the University of Montana – Missoula, and an M.A., M. Phil., and Ph.D. in Music from Columbia University in New York City. He wrote his dissertation on improvisatory bluegrass music performance and is currently writing about bluegrass performance practice in Japan. He has directed ensemble classes performing musical traditions from Appalachia, West Africa, and Bali. He has taught classes examining the relationship of music with language, social identity, modernism, cosmopolitanism, orientalism, and political power, and he plays the 5-string banjo.
Refreshments will be available from Session Bar and Café who will offer the full bar menu, tea and drip-coffee service, as well as small bites from the kitchen: bagged chips and the deli case offerings.

The third full-length from Tall Heights, Juniors emerged from a period of profound turmoil and revelation for the Massachusetts duo. In the span of five months, Paul Wright and Tim Harrington experienced a convergence of events that included major health and substance-abuse crises among their closest loved ones, saying goodbye to Harrington’s grandfather and to a beloved grandfather figure for Wright, and—in far happier, yet still intense news—the announcement that each of their wives was expecting. Compounded by a series of shake-ups in their professional life, that upheaval coincided with the start of the pandemic. Rather than succumbing to the tremendous pressure of that point in time, Tall Heights chose to confront the chaos by creating within it. The result: an album that precisely channels the pain, uncertainty, and unbridled joy of its inception.

They play their own modern style of Country Rock that sets them apart from the Americana folk scene encompassing New Nashville.
TRRs newest release “The Congress of Teddy and The Rough Riders” was recorded at their home in the alleys behind legendary Music Row, and combines heavy hitting rockers full of screaming pedal steel with their Appalachian bluegrass style close harmony. Country-Rock is just a genre, but Teddy and The Rough Riders are able to truly branch both sides of the spectrum, turning Rock fans into cowboys, and hillbillies into head bangers.

The Page Brothers Quartet pays homage to the Hot Club tradition performing Django classics alongside modern jazz repertoire and original material. The group has performed across the Southeast and always enjoys playing the Grey Eagle’s annual Django Festival.
Exploring a wide array of jazz standards, the band features gypsy guitar, a dynamic vocalist, stand-up bass and an assortment of guest melody instruments, from violin, to vibraphones, clarinet to trumpet. With beautiful variety, they groove to Latin tunes (bossa novas and rumbas), swing, original compositions and waltzes.

The Club started in 2017, and has been performing weekly shows at various Asheville venues, jazz showcases, and private events since.
