With so many strummers, fiddlers, and pickers living in the area, it's a rare night that you won't find live music spilling out of Asheville's clubs. Orange Peel Social Aid & Pleasure Club (101 Biltmore Ave.; 828/225-5851), the city's largest venue, attracts national acts like Chattanooga heartthrobs the Kings of Leon and the Southern lo-fi rocker group My Morning Jacket. • Hardworking acoustic soloists perform for tourists and locals alike at Jack of the Wood (95 Patton Ave.; 828/ 252-5445), a brewpub with a Celtic twist. Cheap beer flows and hometown favorites like the Greasy Beans and the Biscuit Burners jam at the Town Pump Tavern (135 Cherry St., Black Mountain; 828/669-4808).
