Josh Blake and the Big Money Band is composed of some of Asheville's finest musicians. Josh Blake does the song writing and most of the singing. The drummer Patrick Thomas, bassist Elijah Kramer, and guitarist Casey Kramer are from the funky Asheville powerhouse Strut. Affectionately dubbed "The Hot Sauce" female vocalists Carolyn Smith and Marisa Albert spice up the show with beautiful harmonies. Since the summer of '08, we have been lucky to have Frank Mapstone, from "The Big Old Nasty Get Down" playing keyboards with us. Josh Phillips and members of the Asheville Horns also like to get in on the act.

Diocious is the authentic improvisational rock experience; a full and tightly woven sound paired with a dazzling light show. Blending the styles of psychedelic rock, funk, and jazz the members of Diocious are all life long musicians who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of composition, arrangement, and improvisation.

The Orange Peel, opened (for the second time) in the Fall of 2002 and has quickly made a name for itself from coast to coast as a great place to see live music. The building was a skating rink in the 1950's, after that it was the site of several soul and R&B clubs, the most prominent was called, The Orange Peel. After 20+ years of sitting mostly vacant, the club was renovated and reopened by new management, but kept the same name. Ever since, national and international bands of all styles have been playing the Peel to rave reviews. Some of the more prominent artists to perform include Bob Dylan, the Flaming Lips, Blondie, Jurassic 5, and Joe Cocker. The Orange Peel is only open when there is a show scheduled. Shows are scheduled frequently, almost always on weekend nights and occasionally up to seven nights a week. Shows usually start at 8 or 9pm, and last for varying lengths depending on the artist performing. It contains a hardwood floor, high ceiling, a powerful sound and light system, and 'the cleanest toilets in the South'. Most shows are 18 and over, although some are 16+ or all ages, consult the club for more info. This thousand-person capacity venue frequently sells out, so if there's a show you're set on attending, you might want to get advance tickets to avoid disappointment. The Orange Peel is a NON SMOKING venue. No membership is required, beer and wine is served, and the average ticket price range is $12-$18 (sometimes more, sometimes less).
