ASHEVILLE, NC: The One Stop, Asheville’s premiere live music venue, is thrilled to present Joy on Fire (on tour) with local jam favorites Nomadic on Friday, June 27 for a free show.

Baltimore natives JOY ON FIRE (JoF) are returning to The One Stop playing their original mind-expanding brand of jam, this time tearing it up with local band Nomadic. Leading with saxophone, JoF creates a sound best described as “punk-jam/fuzz-rock” (sometimes called “punk-jazz”).

Now based in Greensboro, NC, JoF travels the East Coast winning converts with its adventurous self-titled debut CD, which features three big songs (akin to some of the more groundbreaking albums of the 60s and 70s like Yes’s Relayer): “The Complete Book of Bonsai,” “The Marriage of Hell and Heaven” and “If 3 Was 8” (the title a tribute to Jimi Hendrix’s “If 6 Was 9”).

Anna Meadors shreds on saxophones, while drummer Mike “Pickle” Carney, and bassist John Paul Carillo lay down a funky beat. Think Morphine/Fishbone/Coltrane/Zeppelin.

The four members, (Kevin Rohweder – drums, Nate Rohweder – guitar, Eli Scott – bass, Greg Andersen – keyboards) of Nomadic owe their growing popularity to their highly captivating and energetic live performances as well as their epic and diverse song structures that range from electronica to anthemic rock.

Nomadic’s wide range of influences create an intriguingly new blend of progressive rock, electronica, and funk. These styles all lend to Nomadic’s addictive and undeniably fun grooves, blistering peaks and melodic ballads that are unique and immense. Nomadic brings an energy packed live sound that is gripping from start to finish. It is an experience not easily forgotten.

This is a free show – no cover charge!

The One Stop: June 27, 2014, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 a.m.
