It’s Grateful Monday with Asheville’s very own Clouds of Delusion!
Clouds of Delusion is a band centered around Grateful Dead music and the wider catalog of jam band influence. A 5-piece band, they are fascinated by the improv, smitten with the songs and dedicated to the dance party!
JAKE KOHN
From Stephens City, Virginia, Jake Kohn is a singer/songwriter on a clear path to stardom. At only 17 years old, Jake’s unusually deep voice and songwriting ability have garnered the attention of some of his favorite artists. 2024 saw him play festivals such as Mile 0 Festival, MerleFest, Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon, and Bourbon & Beyond. In addition to a slew of headline dates, he supported Sierra Ferrell, Sam Barber, and Wyatt Flores. Stay tuned for what Jake has in store for 2025.
It is not lost on Jake that he is playing shows beyond his years. In fact, he is still awestruck when people recognize him. Whether it is signing a poster for a fan or being invited to see Tommy Prine’s release show, Jake is consistently surprised and grateful to be at this point in his 4-year career.
LOW WATER BRIDGE BAND
Thereâs a sound the Shenandoah River makes as it rumbles over old stones in the shallows. It sings songs the way they used to be â plain and honest. No frills, buckle that belt before you head to the hills and hollers. Itâs there under a Virginia moon that youâll find the Low Water Bridge Band.
Forged by firelight picking, the bandâs romping, stomping, country-grass Americana ainât for the faint of heart. Since their founding in 2020, theyâve gone from barnstorming the Shenandoah Valley to festival stages along the East Coast. Venues from the Carolinas to Kentucky and, yes, Nashville, Tennessee ring with their sound and are asking for more.
Join Ray LaMontagne on the Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour.
MaxxMusic presents: THE WELLERMEN â Tour Tales
Wed, Sept 17 âą 7:30 pm
Music is storytelling, and some of the best stories have been told through centuries-old traditional folk songs. On their new album âNorthern Skyâ, The Wellermen have given this rich traditional musical history a new sound.
The Wellermenâs history is well-known: originators of the sea shanty trend on TikTok, theyâve since gone from strength to strength. Their versions of âMisty Mountainsâ, âNancy Mulliganâ, and âHoist The Coloursâ have racked up billions of views and led them to appearances on shows like Ant and Dec, Last Week Tonight, The Colbert Show and more.
The group has now returned with their new album âNorthern Skyâ. Among much-loved traditionals such as âWild Mountain Thymeâ, âAmazing Graceâ, and âRed Is The Roseâ, you will find more modern songs such as a tribute to Johnny Cash on âHurtâ and a lively version of âThe Nightsâ. The band also presents originals âNorthern Skyâ â inspired by maritime life in the Hebrides in the 18th century, and the humorous âTall Talesâ â a one-upmanship of the telling of wild sea adventures.
Say the Wellermen: âItâs all about connection and storytelling, and we hope the listeners are able to find something meaningful.â One thing is absolutely certain: these talented young men are in it for the long haul.

On a magical night at Nectarâs in Burlington, Vermont in December of 2018, three musical mastersâRuss Lawton, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowskiâcame together with alchemical synthesis, and created a fresh, so-tight-it’s-free sound, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each membersâ surname, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP.
Metzger, described by The Village Voice as ââŠan ace guitarist of a thousand styles,â and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russoâs Almost Dead, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde.

Gene Farris is a legendary DJ, producer, and label owner from Chicago, globally recognized as one of the leading figures in house music. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, he began DJing at just 10 years old, inspired by pioneers like Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Lil Louis, and Green Velvet.
By the early 1990s, Farris had become a staple of the cityâs underground scene, spinning acid house and disco at warehouse parties and securing residencies at iconic venues like The Power House and the Boom Boom Room. He later expanded internationally with a four-year residency in Amsterdam at Jimmy Woo, spreading Chicagoâs house sound across Europe.
As a producer, Farris began releasing music in 1994, including early work on Green Velvetâs Relief Records. In 1998, he launched his own label, Farris Wheel Recordings, which has served as a platform for both his own music and rising talents. Over the years, he has collaborated with top artists such as Loco Dice, Jesse Rose, Mihalis Safras, Sub Focus, and Dajae. Notable releases include Welcome To Chicago EP (Defected Records), Itâs Time with Sub Focus (EMI), Play (Snatch!), LOL (Relief), and the club anthem Move Your Body.
